Abstract

The IT and FT values for coal and coke samples can be accurately predicted by applying equations to determine ST and HT temperatures. For reducing atmospheres, the equations are IT=C1×ST−C2×HT+C3 and FT=C4×HT−C5×ST+C6. For oxidizing atmospheres, the equations are IT=C7×ST−C8×HT+C9 and FT=C10×HT−C11×ST+C12. IT is the initial deformation temperature. ST is the softening temperature. HT is the hemispherical temperature. FT is the fluid temperature. C1-C12 are constants determined by multi-linear regression coefficient analytical techniques on a collection of data.
