The vapor cloud of evaporated droplets bums like a diffusion flame in the turbulent state rather than as individual droplets. In the core of the spray, where droplets are evaporating, a rich mixture exists and soot formation occurs. Surrounding this core is a rich mixture zone where CO production is high and a flame front exists. Air entrainment completes the combustion, oxidizing CO to CO2 and burning the soot. Soot bumup releases radiant energy and controls flame emissivity. The relatively slow rate of soot burning compared with the rate of oxidation of CO and unbumed hydrocarbons leads to smoke formation. This model of a diffusion-controlled primary flame zone makes it possible to relate fuel chemistry to the behavior of fuels in combustors (7).

What has happened in less than a decade to promote methanation to its existing station We in the United States are beginning to realize or do now realize that we are running out of natural gas (sic methane)— a commodity which we had in abundance but which in less than the age of the Division of Fuel Chemistry, we managed to deplete faster than is possible by nature to replace or by humans to find.

Appendix B includes a review and a classification of conversion concepts. It also investigates the potentials to develop an all-round bed model or CFSD code simulating the conversion system. This review also contains a great deal of information on the heat and mass transport phenomena taking place inside a packed bed in the context of PBC of biomass. The phenomena include conversion regimes, pyrolysis chemistry, char combustion chemistry, and wood fuel chemistry. The main conclusions from this review are ... 

The fuel-bed composition has a significant effect on the thermochemical conversion behaviour. The composition is in reality a very complex variable and can be divided into fuel chemistry and fuel physics of the individual fuel particles making up the bed. These authors will make a drastic simplification and define only two degrees of fuel-bed composition, namely a homogeneous or a heterogeneous fuel bed. In this review the terms homogeneous and heterogeneous are used in a relative and practical way. However, they could be described as two extreme cases as well [9]... 

In practice, we have a number of solid fuels, for example biofuels (forest or agricultural derived biofuels), coal, municipal solid waste (MSW) and many others [23]. A fuel bed is composed of varying sizes of solid-fuel particles, also called polydispersed solid-.fuels [15]. The fuel chemistry is different depending on whether it is coal, biofuel or MSW. The fuel bed can be dry or consist of moisture. The fuel physics are for example, particle size distribution, particle shape, particle density and bed permeability.

This chapter provides some brief biographical information about Peter Given and his impact on the field of coal science. His contributions to the profession are measured and explained by comparing some of the papers presented at the 1964 American Conference on C al Science, which he organized, and the 1989 symposium held in his memory and organized by the Division of Fuel Chemistry as part of the 198th national meeting of the American Qiemical Society.
