1 High temperature materials for energy generation Yasser Gowayed Department of Polymer & Fiber Engineering gowayed@auburn.edu November 2014

2 Temperature requirements for turbine engines Pratt & Whitney: Public Domain as defined by ITAR 22 C.F.R. Chapter I, Subchapter M, Part 120.11

3 S. R. Greene, et al., ORNL/TM-2010/199 Temperature requirements for nuclear reactors

4 Benefits of high temperature Nuclear reactors Superior economics Limit severe accidents Higher thermal efficiency and process heat Better non-proliferation and waste characteristics Turbine engines Less cooling requirements Improved efficiency Reduced fuel burn and emissions Higher speed Reduced weight High power density (high temperature and pressure)

5 Ceramic matrix composites Wadley, et al., 2013
