Career and technology education. In order to help meet these goals commercially produced ceramic matrix composite cmc. Evaluation of ceramic matrix composite technology for aircraft turbine engine applications the goals of the nasa environmentally responsible aviation era project are to reduce the no x emissions fuel burn and noise from turbine engines. A program is being conducted to demonstrate improved specific fuel consumption and the durability of ceramic components in an existing vehicular gas turbine engine.

Continental america telescopic eclipse us nasa cate. Structural ceramic gas turbine components have been designed fabricated and tested in the cate ceramic application in turbine engines and agt advanced gas turbine programs. An initial program milestone has been achieved as ceramic components are operating over the road in a gas turbine powered truck which is available for demonstration. High technology ceramics 4 1988 93 102 1 engineering ceramics.

Low thermal conductivity ceramics can be used to control the temperature distribution and heat flow in high. Applications and testing requirements e. Ceramic thermal barrier coatings in turbocharged ic engine the use of thermal barrier coatings in internal combustion engine has contributed in achieving higher thermal efficiency improved combustion and reduced emissions of the engine. Ceramics and ceramic matrix composites that can withstand temperatures as high as 1 600 c are used to manufacture lightweight turbine components that require less cooling air such as vanes blades nozzles and combustion liners and parts for the exhaust system that enhance acoustic attenuation and have a long life thanks to their abrasion and corrosion resistance.

Ceramic components permit increased engine operating temperatures which improve engine cycle efficiency. This paper describes the work on ceramic turbine vanes in the cate program and shows the planned near term utilization of this technology in production engines. The objective of the cate program is to apply ceramic components in a highway vehicle gas turbine engine and thus reduce engine fuel consumption.
