Abstract

PAZO, JOSE ANTONIO et al. PROCESS OPTIMIZATION OF SAMPLING AND DETERMINING THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTIES OF SOLID FUELS FOR COCOMBUSTION. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2010, vol.77, n.161, pp.109-119. ISSN 0012-7353.

This paper presents the process used to determine the statistical uncertainty associated with eight different properties of solid fuels for co-combustion tests of moisture and ash. Provides a map of sampling to determine the sample sizes in the light of the uncertainties that are considered acceptable. The values obtained show that despite the heterogeneity of the fuel itself, a well-planned campaign of samples can extrapolate the properties of the samples from the entire lot with an uncertainty controlled and quantified.

Keywords : co-combustion; sampling; uncertainty.
