Abstract This paper reviews work
performed in applying advanced electromagnetics techniques
in the development of coal-derived energy sources and associated conversion
processes. Attention is focused in the investigations related to the
electrical properties of coal at radio frequencies, and in the modeling and design of electromagnetic systems (both
reflection and transmission type) for the remote detection, monitoring, and
mapping of coal conversion processes. Specific applications include
underground coal gasification (UCG) processes and fluidized bed combustors
(FBC). Recommendations are made of applications where electromagnetic methods
should play a prominent role in the future. |
