This document describes the characterization of 183-H Basin sludge physical properties, e.g. bulk density of sludge and absorbent, and determination of free liquids. Calcination of crucible-size samples of sludge was also done and the resulting `loss-on-ignition` was compared to the theoretical weight loss based on sludge analysis obtained from Weston Labs.

We propose a genetic algorithm that evolves families of rules from a set of examples. Inputs and outputs of the problem are discrete and nominal values which makes it difficult to use alternative learning methods that implicitly regard a metric space. A way how to encode sets of rules is presented together with special variants of genetic operators suitable for this encoding. The solution found by means of this process can be used as a core of a rule-based expert system.

Higher working-fluid temperatures are required to boost efficiency, exposing subsystems to more corrosive environments. Issues of special concern to ceramists are corrosion and blinding of hot-gas particulate filters and catastrophic failure of high-temperature ceramic heat exchangers. Fuel and operational factors that affect the corrosion rates of structural ceramics in coal-fired combustor systems are described, with examples of the corrosion of silicon carbide-based materials. Attention is focused on hot-gas particulate filtration and heat exchangers; gasification systems are also discussed. Objective of the report is to help the experimentalist measuring these factors to better design tests.
