Topic: Implementation of Advanced Ceramics and Composites for High Energy Efficiency and Clean Emission Turbine Engines

Over the past decade achieving very low emissions as specified by the environment regulators has become very important for most land-based gas turbines operating near urban center with expectation of NOx and CO in the single digit range. The strategies, by which engine performance (efficiency and output power) can be significantly improved, are to increase the turbine inlet temperature and/or eliminate the cooling that in turn will enhance the reduction of exhaust emissions. Ceramic materials can potentially be used for uncooled hot section components at temperatures approaching 1370°C, compared to about 1000°C for cooled components made of advanced superalloy parts. With ceramic component designs and implementations, much higher turbine operating temperatures can be achieved while eliminating, or greatly reducing, component cooling requirements. Thus, the key driving force behind the efforts to incorporate ceramic materials into gas turbine engines has been the desire to reduce dependence on strategic metals, improve thermal efficiency, increase output power, enhance component durability, lower emissions, and reduce cost. Advanced silicon nitride ceramics as well as SiC-fiber reinforced SiC matrix composites have been the leading candidates for gas turbine engine applications due to their superior thermomechanical properties performance and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1400°C in an oxidizing environment. In this lecture, efforts to design ceramic and ceramic composite components for retrofit into a land-based gas turbine engine, and the methodology for probabilistic ceramic component design and implementation carried will be presented. In addition, engine field tests were carried out through the course of program to provide insight into the effect of combustion environment on the long-term stability of ceramics and composites, which could not be readily reproduced in a laboratory scale. The analysis of these ceramic components after these field tests as well as the issues encountered in the gas turbine environment, and potentially remedial solutions to improve the long-term material stability and mechanical reliability will be presented and discussed in the lecture.
