| Abstract | Under the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DoE) funded Ceramic Turbine Engine Demonstration Project (CTEDP), AlliedSignal Engines is addressing remaining critical concerns slowing the commercialization of structural ceramics in gas turbine engines. These issues include demonstration of ceramic component reliability, readiness of ceramic suppliers to support ceramic production needs, and development of ceramic design technologies. The AlliedSignal/Garrett Model 331-200[CT] auxiliary power unit (APU) is being used as a ceramics test bed engine. The first-stage turbine blades and nozzles were redesigned for ceramic materials, employing design methods developed during the earlier Dept. of Energy/National Aeronautics and Space Administration (DoE/NASA)-funded Advanced Gas Turbine (ACT) and Advanced Turbine Technology Applications (ATTAP) programs. The fabrication processes for these components provide the framework for demonstration of ceramic manufacturing process scale-up to the minimum level for commercial viability. Ceramic engine components have been fabricated and are now being evaluated in laboratory engine testing. This testing is helping to refine the component designs and focus the development of ceramic component technologies. Extended engine endurance testing and field testing in commercial aircraft is planned, to demonstrate ceramic component reliability. Significant progress was made during 1996 in the ceramic component manufacturing scale-up activities. The CTEDP ceramics subcontractors, AlliedSignal Ceramic Components (Torrance, CA) and Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corporation (Vancouver, WA) demonstrated increased capacity and improved yields of silicon nitride materials. Planned ceramic turbine nozzle manufacturing demonstrations were initiated by both companies. Ceramic design technology was further refined in several areas. Work continued in defining boundary conditions for impact modeling of ceramic turbine engines, including completion of a three-dimensional trajectory analysis for combustor carbon particles in the engine flowpath. Contact rig tests and supporting analyses helped define the effectiveness of compliant layers in reducing ceramic turbine blade attachment contact stresses, and the results are aiding the evolution of more effective compliant layer configurations. This work supported evaluation of various ceramic turbine blade attachment designs in subelement and engine tests. Thin-film strain gage technology for measuring vibratory levels at high temperatures was successfully applied on ceramic turbine blades. Ceramic materials were screened for susceptibility to cyclic hot corrosion fatigue at the conditions affecting turbine blades. Stress rupture testing in support of the proof test methodology development was completed. Engine endurance tests with ceramic turbine nozzles accumulated over 482 additional hours of successful operation. Ceramic turbine blades were successfully demonstrated in over 190 hours of engine operation. This work brought the combined ceramic component engine test experience to over 1500 operating hours. Work summarized in this paper was funded by the DoE Office of Transportation Technologies, as part of the Turbine Engine Technologies Program, and administered through Fiscal Year 1996 by the NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, OH under Contract No. OEN3-335. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
