Not 100% sure, but I'll tell you what it sounds like. Whenever you burn a motor, some of the propellant reforms on the nozzle. You can scrape it off, or let it burn off the next time you use it. That would be the "slag build-up."

Nozzle "throat erosion" would be a slow, continual loss of mass in the nozzle throat due to graphite burning off.

"Co-efficient" would indicate numbers to use in equations when calculating burn characteristics.

If I'm wrong, someone will come along and let you know.

Re-post or re-title your post so that people who are interested in those things know what you're asking. "rocket" is not a title that is going to get many people's attention.
