Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this study results of the active medium parameters influence formed by hot air on the thermal heating process of weakly reactive coal from the formation «Maikubensk 3B» for the extraction of additional heat are represented. In the course of the research the regularities of the hygroscopic moisture and volatile combustible substances release for the obtaining additional heat have been determined. Optimal temperature ranges of the stage heating taking into account thermal destruction of coal in the temperature range from 20 C to 600 C, the main steps of the insulated heating process, the moisture content gradient propagation lines and dependence of the heat transfer and mass transfer coefficients on the temperature and the humidity during the thermal heating process in the horizontal coal heating reactor. The results show that it is possible to release volatile combustible gases with a gradual increase of temperatures in the obtained mode. The heating mode comprises a pre-heating stage with hydroscopic moisture release, in the temperature range from 20 C to 105 C, the stage of isothermal heating in the temperature range from 105 C to 400 C and the phase of flame-free combustion in the temperature range from 400 C to 600 C with the temperature rise above the set value. Process simulation was carried out in the Comsol Multiphisics software environment for the weakly reactive coal real-world heating conditions.
