Expansion of Coal Preparation Plant Simulator. Technical Progress Report, June 1-September 30, 1984

摘要

During the past quarter, progress was made in the following major areas: (1) mainframe version of the simulator; and (2) microcomputer version of the simulator. The mainframe version of the simulator is resident on the DEC-1099 system at the University of Pittsburgh. It is written in standard FORTRAN, and referred to as Version 4.0. During the last quarter, the fluidized bed thermal dryer module was completed and added to the simulator, and an improved method of representing the distribution data for washers was incorporated into the system. The microcomputer version of the simulator now utilizes the same modules and has the same capabilities as the mainframe version. This version, known as Microcomputer Version 1.0 has been completed and is now operational on the IBM Personal Computer, Model XT. Except for some minor programming alterations that are dictated by the differences in the hardware, the two versions of the simulator are identical. (ERA citation 11:055725)
