In Aspen gasification calculations, what do FC and VM represent in terms of component properties? Here, ASH refers to the ash content in coal; however, I’m not sure what FC and VM mean – I hope someone can help explain them.
Check the hints below; if that doesn’t work, place the mouse over the item you want to view and then press F1.
FC—Fixed carbon; VM—Volatile matter. In general industrial analysis, M represents moisture, F represents fixed carbon, V represents volatile matter, and A represents ash
This is the data that needs to be entered when specifying the components of the coal; what was said on the third floor is correct
This is the general industrial analysis of coal: where MOISTURE represents moisture, FC represents fixed carbon, VM represents volatile matter, and ASH represents ash.
Thank you. I’ve learned it. May I ask how to define the solid components in Aspen?
