The provision of economical and reliable energy is a prime requirement for the success ofmanufacturing industry on which the well-being and standard of living of the populationdepend. Advanced power generation technologies seek to supply this demand for energywithin the increasingly stringent economic and ecological restraints with respect to plantcosts, fuel costs, fuel conservation and environmental impact. The key factor is the thermalefficiency of plant, which can be improved by increasing the temperatures and pressuresof the processes. There is therefore a general requirement for improved materials andcomponents which can operate reliably at lligher temperatures and pressures.The European Co-operation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST) is ameans for the co-ordination of national research programmes on a European level, COSTactions consisting of basic and pre-competitive research. The Liège Conferences wereinitiated 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 andthen moving to COST 501 in which materials for power generation plant were investigated.The overall objective of COST 501, the results of which are reported in this Sixth LiegeConference, was to contribute, through a targeted programme of applied research, to thedevelopment of improved materials for advanced components in power engineeringapplications. The work was focused on topics concerning materials for the components thathave a decisive influence on the enhancement of plant performance and efficiency, toensure the ability of the European power engineering industry to remain competitive in theworld market.The critical materials and components in power generation plant have been identified andthe required research and development activities have been based on the principle of worksharing.Materials scientists, design engineers, alloy producers, component manufacturers,plant builders and plant operators have been brought together, reflecting the need to matchmaterials properties and component behaviour. The power engineering systems coveredinclude gas turbines (aero and stationary), steam turbines, diesel engines, fluidized bedcombustors, gasification plant and was te incinerators.The Conference comprised 6 invited lectures which put the materials research for advancedpower engineering in aglobai context, 23 review papers that summarize the COST 501activities and over 140 contributed papers presented as posters. The ConferenceProceedings containing all the papers are organized as follows:Part I: Materials for Advanced Steam Turbine PlantPart 11: Heat Exchangers and Fuel-Related ProblemsMaterials for Gas Turbines IPart IlI: Materials for Gas Turbines 11General Interest Materials for the 21st Century [...] |
