(Materials for hot gas cleanup in coal conversion and utilization systems)
The purposes of this trip were to learn about English government-funded and Dutch privately-funded research on materials for hot-gas cleanup in coal conversion and utilization systems, to present a paper on the Advanced Research and Technology Development Fossil Energy Materials Program at the 33rd ASME International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exposition (ASME Congress), and to serve as vice-chairman of a technical session on turbomachinery erosion. Visits were made to the British Coal Corporation Coal Research Establishment (CRE) and the University of Surrey in England and to Shell International Petroleum Maatschappij in The Netherlands. A project was identified for CRE and the University of Surrey to test Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)-produced fiber-reinforced ceramic filter specimens. Materials research areas of mutual interest to Shell and ORNL were identified. Many fruitful discussions were held at the ASME Congress, and the paper that was presented was well received.
