The provision of economical and reliable energy is a prime requirement for the success of manufacturing industry on wh ich the well-being and standard of living of the population depend. Advanced power generation technologies seek to supply this demand for energy within the increasingly stringent economic and ecological restraints with respect to plant costs, fuel costs, fuel conservation and environmental impact. The key factor is the thermal efficiency of plant, which can be improved by increasing the temperatures and pressures of the processes. There is therefore a general requirement for improved materials and components which can operate reliably at higher temperatures and pressures. The European Co-operation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST) is a means for the co-ordination of national research programmes on a Eurapean level. COST actions consisting of basic and pre-competitive research. The Liege Conferences were initiated in order to disseminate the results of the materials related COST Actions. beginning with COST 50 which was mainly concerned with materials for gas turbines and then moving to COST 501 in which materials for power generation plant were investigated. The overall objective of COST 5Ol, the results of which are reported in this Sixth Liège Conference, was to contribute, through a targeted programme of applied research, to the development of improved materials for advanced components in power engineering applications. The work was focused on topics concerning materials for the components that have a decisive influence on the enhancement of plant performance and efficiency, to ensure the ability of the European power engineering industry to remain competitive in the world market. The critical materials and components in power generation plant have been identified and the required research and development activities have been based on the principle of worksharing. Materials seientists, design engineers, alloy producers, component manufacturers, plant builders and plant operators have been brought together, reflecting the need to match materials properties and component behaviour. The power engineering systems covered include gas turbines (aera and stationary), steam turbines, diesel engines, fluidized bed combustors, gasification plant and waste ineinerators. The Conference comprised 6 invited lectures which put the materials research for advanced power engineering in agIobaI context. 23 review papers that summarize the COST 5Ol activities and over 140 contributed papers presented as posters. The Conference Proceedings containing all the papers are organized as follows: Part I: Materials for Advanced Steam Turbine Plant Part 11: Heat Exchangers and Fuel-Related Problems Materials for Gas Turbines I Part III: Materials for Gas Turbines II General Interest Materials for the 21st Century [...] |
