Advanced Turbine Technology Applications Project (ATTAP)

Technical Report · Mon Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6860074

This report summarizes work performed by Garrett Auxiliary Power Division (GAPD), a unit of Allied-Signal Aerospace Company, during calendar year 1991, toward development and demonstration of structural ceramic technology for automotive gas turbine engines. This work was performed for the Department of Energy (DOE) under National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Contract DEN3-335, Advanced Turbine Technology Applications Project (ATTAP). GAPD is utilizing the AGT101 regenerated gas turbine engine developed under the previous DOE/NASA Advanced Gas Turbine (AGT) program as the ATTAP test bed for ceramic engine technology demonstration. ATTAP is focussing on improving AGT101 test bed reliability, development of ceramic design methodologies, improvement of fabrication and materials processing technology by domestic US ceramics fabricators. Improved combustion system and regenerator technology, and demonstration of technology advancements will be verified in a series of durability tests. This is the fourth in a series of technical summary reports published annually over the course of the five-year contract.
