β¦ Synopsis
Specific heats of a range of coals, cokes and ashes have been measured from 300 to 600 K (coals, cokes) or 1000 K (ashes) using differential scanning calorimetry. There is a rapid increase of specific heat with the content of volatile matter in the region O-10 wt% followed by only mild increases at higher concentrations. A general equation is given expressing the heat capacity of a daf coal in terms of proximate composition and temperature. It provides a simple and accurate method of assessing enthalpy changes up to 600 K--the onset of volatilization for many bituminous coals.

Coal samples of European and Australian origin have been oxidized in air at 300, 400, and 500Β°C for different lengths of time. The combustion causes formation and opening of pores in the remainder of the coal. Products have been examined by a gravimetric gas sorption technique. Results are presented
Published data on the specific heat of coal and coke have been analysed and have been used to define a model which predictsthe specific heat of coal during thermal decomposition. The Einstein model is used to describethevariation of specific heat with temperature and the effect of composition isdete
