The papers are divided into three sections: high-temperature materials for power generation, including ferritic and austenitic steels; advanced high-temperature materials for the gas turbine engine and advanced processing, including particle metallurgy and directional solidification; and advanced materials ...
1 Scope This standard covers the minimum requirements for open, simple, and regenerative-cycle combustion gas turbine units for services of mechanical drive, generator drive, or process gas generation. All auxiliary equipment required for operating, starting, and controlling gas turbine units and for ...
The Symposium on Gas Turbine Fuel Requirements, Handling and Quality Control was presented at the Seventy-fifth Annual Meeting of the American Society for Testing and Materials held in Los Angeles, Calif., 25—30 June 1972. The symposium was sponsored by Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants, Technical Division D02.C on Turbine ...
Most of the material covered in this book deals with the fundamentals of chemistry and physics of key processes and fundamental mechanisms for various combustion and combustion related phenomena in gaseous combustible mixture. It provides the reader with basic knowledge of burning processes and mechanisms of reaction wave propagation. The combustion of a gas mixture (flame, explosion, detonation) ...
20 papers from leading experts on the thermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue of structural alloys expose the deformation and damage mechanisms in thermo-mechanical fatigue in all materials. Includes papers on the study of stress-strain response in a number of technologically important materials, damage mechanisms in thermo-mechanical fatigue (creep, oxidation effects), microscopic investigations ...
Transport is fundamental for today's lifestyles. Speed and reliability demand powered propulsion, which is why suitable fuels are so vital. This volume contains preliminary reviews of the basic sciences, followed by in-depth discussions of the sources, processing, properties, handling, combustion performance, and emissions of both conventional and alternative fuel types. It concludes with a ...
Manual 37 is a comprehensive, in-depth, well-referenced handbook that provides a detailed overview of ALL of the important ASTM and non-ASTM fuels and lubricants test procedures. Readers will get a thorough overview of the application-related properties being tested and an extensive discussion of the principles behind the tests and their relationship to the properties themselves. The information ...
The role of energy in the modern world goes beyond mere technology and economics to influence welfare, the environment, the quality of life and, in broad terms, civilization itself. Since the industrial revolution, energy conservation technology has been at the forefront of the innovation required to satisfy the needs of mankind and, more than any other, this technology has always depended ...
In today's energy market and public policy environment, economic gains can be achieved by making sound energy and environmental efficiency decisions. This book serves as a "how-to" manual for applying energy and environmental efficiency technologies to create high-performance environments and to improve profitability. The book has four main parts:Part 1: Theory and Technologyincludes an ...
For the first time since the oil age began, the world has the technology to wean itself from petroleum coming from the politically volatile Middle East. A combination of wind turbines, solar cells, hydrogen generators, and fuel cell engines offers not only energy independence, but an alternative to climate-disrupting fossil fuels. The global economy is out of sync with the earth's ecosystem, as ...
