Research and development appropriate to the Dept. of Energy and to a new generation of advanced heat exchangers which could operate in high-pressure, high-temperature industrial process applications near 2000/degree/F and 1000 psia and often involving corrosive gas streams, is recommended. This study identified and assessed potential applications in power generation using closed-cycle and other gas turbine configurations, steam reforming of natural gas, chemical evaporators for caustics and acids, transfer of heat energy to or from very hot or hostile waste gases, and heat transfer piping for flowing molten metal or liquids. Energy and cost savings on a process and national basis were estimated. 32 refs., 13 figs., 15 tabs.
