Experimental determination and modeling of the heat capacity of coal in various atmospheres

Review of needs for thermophysical property data on solid feedstocks II. Oil shale

“…For coal, such modeling has been successful [127][128][129][130]. At the present stage of development of oil shale technology, kinetic studies make an important contribution to the improvement of processes.…”

Thermodynamic properties of pulverized coal during rapid heating devolatilization processes. Quarterly progress report, July--September 1992

“…Some investigations utilized small sample quantities, but still employed low heating rates (Refs. 7,8). Due to difficulties involved in making dynamic energy flow measurements for a decomposing sample, some measurements were restricted to sample temperatures below 300°C, the initiation temperat_Jrefor the thermal decomposition of coal in low heating rate conditions.…”
