The overall objective of the ERDA High Temperature Turbine Technology program is to develop, in a six year period, a high temperature turbine sub-system capable of operating in an environmentally acceptable manner on a coal-derived low BTU gas or on a coal-derived liquid fuel at gas turbine inlet temperatures of from 2600 to 3000/sup 0/F. The Phase I objective was to define the systems and the development efforts required during the Phase II ''Technology Testing and Support Studies'' and the Phase III ''Verification Test Program'' to bring these systems to technology readiness. Conceptual designs of commercial combined/cycle plants utilizing the coal-fueled high temperature turbine system were part of the Phase I effort. Selection of the turbine cooling concept and design definition of the high temperature turbine sub-system were also established. This volume contains information on the preliminary design of three low-BTU gas combustors; low BTU combustor technology development plan; program plans for Phase II and Phase III; research and technology requirements; and reliability including failure mode analysis.
