Materials for Advanced Power Engineering 1994 Proceedings of a Conference Held in Liege, Belgium, 3-6 October 1994

The role of energy in the modern world goes beyond mere technology and economics to influence welfare, the environment, the quality of life and, in broad terms, civilization itself. Since the industrial revolution, energy conservation technology has been at the forefront of the innovation required to satisfy the needs of mankind and, more than any other, this technology has always depended on the performance of the materials used. In this, the report of the Fifth Liége Conference devoted to a review of the work of the European Materials Collaborative Programmes, the results of the programmes are presented along the following technology oriented themes: steam power plant gas turbines diesel engines advanced combustion perspectives. The book thus presents one of the most up to date references available anywhere on materials technologies in energy conversion from fossil fuels and materials for high efficiency, low emission systems.Davidson, J.H. is the author of 'Materials for Advanced Power Engineering 1994 Proceedings of a Conference Held in Liege, Belgium, 3-6 October 1994' with ISBN 9780792330769 and ISBN 0792330765.
