Uncertainty in Coal Property Valuation in West Virginia: A Case Study     

Michael E. Hohn  Ronald R. McDowell 《Mathematical Geology》2001,33(2):191-216

Interpolated grids of coal bed thickness are being considered for use in a proposed method for taxation of coal in the state of West Virginia (United States). To assess the origin and magnitude of possible inaccuracies in calculated coal tonnage, we used conditional simulation to generate equiprobable realizations of net coal thickness for two coals on a 7 min topographic quadrangle, and a third coal in a second quadrangle. Coals differed in average thickness and proportion of original coal that had been removed by erosion; all three coals crop out in the study area. Coal tonnage was calculated for each realization and for each interpolated grid for actual and artificial property parcels, and differences were summarized as graphs of percent difference between tonnage calculated from the grid and average tonnage from simulations. Coal in individual parcels was considered minable for valuation purposes if average thickness in each parcel exceeded 30 inches. Results of this study show that over 75% of the parcels are classified correctly as minable or unminable based on interpolation grids of coal bed thickness. Although between 80 and 90% of the tonnages differ by less than 20% between interpolated values and simulated values, a nonlinear conditional bias might exist in estimation of coal tonnage from interpolated thickness, such that tonnage is underestimated where coal is thin, and overestimated where coal is thick. The largest percent differences occur for parcels that are small in area, although because of the small quantities of coal in question, bias is small on an absolute scale for these parcels. For a given parcel size, maximum apparent overestimation of coal tonnage occurs in parcels with an average coal bed thickness near the minable cutoff of 30 in. Conditional bias in tonnage for parcels having a coal thickness exceeding the cutoff by 10 in. or more is constant for two of the three coals studied, and increases slightly with average thickness for the third coal.  相似文献

Heat capacity of γ-Fe2SiO4 between 5 and 303 K and derived thermodynamic properties     

Wenjun Yong  E. Dachs  A. C. Withers  E. J. Essene 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2007,34(2):121-127

A multi-anvil device was used to synthesize 24 mg of pure γ-Fe₂SiO₄ crystals at 8.5 GPa and 1,273 K. The low-temperature heat capacity (C _p) of γ-Fe₂SiO₄ was measured between 5 and 303 K using the heat capacity option of a physical properties measurement system. The measured heat capacity data show a broad λ-transition at 11.8 K. The difference in the C _p between fayalite and γ-Fe₂SiO₄ is reduced as the temperature increases in the range of 50–300 K. The gap in C _p data between 300 and 350 K of γ-Fe₂SiO₄ is an impediment to calculation of a precise C _p equation above 298 K that can be used for phase equilibrium calculations at high temperatures and high pressures. The C _p and entropy of γ-Fe₂SiO₄ at standard temperature and pressure (S°₂₉₈) are 131.1 ± 0.6 and 140.2 ± 0.4 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, respectively. The Gibbs free energy at standard pressure and temperature (ΔG° _f,298) is calculated to be −1,369.3 ± 2.7 J mol⁻¹ based on the new entropy data. The phase boundary for the fayalite–γ-Fe₂SiO₄ transition at 298 K based on current thermodynamic data is located at 2.4 ± 0.6 GPa with a slope of 25.4 bars/K, consistent with extrapolated results of previous experimental studies.  相似文献

大量研究表明 ,低温流体通过改变岩石中磁性矿物的组成而改变了岩石的磁化率和剩磁等磁性参数 ,利用岩石磁学和古地磁学的方法能够帮助区分不同时期和类型的流体事件。笔者认为流体对围岩的影响受岩石组织类型的控制 ,通过研究岩石组织类型可望了解磁性矿物转变和重磁化的机制。文章通过金矿围岩地球化学和磁性参数对比的实例分析 ,提出岩石组织内部磁场也可能对流体的成矿作用发生重要影响。流体在萃取围岩中有用元素或发生成矿物质聚集的同时也可能导致新的磁性矿物形成。在此过程中 ,磁性矿物的晶体生长以化学剩磁的方式记录下环境磁场 ,由此可以研究流体运移轨迹。  相似文献

THE IMPACT OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY ON THE RADIATIVE PROPERTY AND RADIATIVE FORCING OF SULFATE AEROSOL   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

张立盛  石广玉 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》2001,(4)

With the data of complex refractive index of sulfate aerosol,the radiative properties of theaerosol under 8 relative humidity conditions are calculated in this paper.By using the concentrationdistribution from two CTM models and LASG GOALS/AGCM,the radiative forcing due tohygroscopic sulfate aerosol is simulated.The results show that:(1)With the increase of relativehumidity,the mass extinction coefficiency factor decreases in the shortwave spectrum;singlescattering albedo keeps unchanged except for a little increase in longwave spectrum,andasymmetry factor increases in whole spectrum.(2)Larger differences occur in radiative forcingsimulated by using two CTM data,and the global mean forcing is—0.268 and—0.816 W/m~2,respectively.(3)When the impact of relative humidity on radiative property is taken into account,the distribution pattern of radiative forcing due to the wet particles is very similar to that of drysulfate,but the forcing value decreases by 60%.  相似文献
