At the Westinghouse Research Laboratories there are several programs on coal gasification and combustion which include a review of materials requirements which are foreseen for the future. This paper will draw on the results of our turbine protection program, specifically:
- °
Modeling of particulate flows in a gas turbine so as to predict the frequency, angle, and velocity of particulate impact, and the resulting erosion rates.
- °
Measurement of the erosion or deposition rate that will occur from particulate impact.
- °
Establishment of alkali metal and halogen compound content of the coal gas that can be tolerated without deposition of corrosion-causing compounds.
