Mathematical Modeling Of Cavity Growth During Underground Coal Gasification

Download or read book Mathematical Modeling for Underground Coal Gasification written by Preeti Aghalayam and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an important technique for future coal utilization. It has the potential to be a clean technology and to tap un-mineable, deep coal deposits across the world. Commercialization of UCG has been riddled with a variety of issues, including public perception and a lack of clear comprehension about underlying physicochemical phenomena. This book will bridge the gap in knowledge and highlight the modern findings related to the complex interactions in UCG. With a focus on the chemical reactions in UCG and treating the underground coal cavity as “nature’s own chemical reactor”, various mathematical modeling studies that serve to unravel some of the mysteries of this decades-old technique will be revealed.
