As discussed in chapters 2 and 3, most hot structures are fabricated from superalloys that have been tailored to meet the demands of turbine engine operation. Specific solutions to problems ...

An international research team has reviewed emerging solid-state and gas-cycle heat pumps capable of reaching temperatures of up to 1,600 K, assessing their challenges, applications, scalability, and ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...
