New thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials for gas turbines were studied in this work. Two of the most important properties of the material for TBCs, thermal expansion coefficient and phase stability, and the powder preparation by spray-drying are investigated. / SIGLE / Available from TIB Hannover: RA 831(4127) / FIZ - Fachinformationszzentrum Ka...
In order to achieve an increase in the overall thermodynamic efficiency of power plants it is necessary to optimize all components and incorporated machines. Here, the steam turbine plays a key role. Especially in the low pressure steam turbine considerable losses arise due to thermodynamic and kinematic relaxation after crossing the saturation lin...
The Proceedings (volume R527, 2004) of the Information Conference on Turbines which has been held on the 23rd September 2004 in Pforzheim/Germany, contains six final and interim reports. The subjects of the contributions presented were as follow: shroud leakage flow effects; guide baffle geometry of radial-flow turbines; thermal barriers coatings; ...
