This paper presents a preliminary design of a water-cooled gas turbine capable of operating on coal derived fuels and producing 73 MW when burning low Btu coal gas. Particular emphasis is placed on the critical technology issues of combustion and heat transfer at 2600 deg firing temperature. The recent technology developments; i.e., materials developments, composite construction, water cooling, fuels cleanup, etc., which now make this advanced concept possible are discussed. Detailed descriptions of the hot gas path components, the staged sectoral combustor, the water cooled nozzles and buckets, are described showing the implementation of these recent developments. The component development test program which is underway, is described and where testing results are available, design confirmation is demonstrated. Future plans for the construction of a full scale prototype machine and for design verification testing are presented. An analytical evaluation is included which demonstrates the advantages of the water-cooled gas turbine in an integrated gasification combined cycle.

PurposeThis paper seeks to provide an overview of recent developments within the British Library's document supply service and offer an insight into future plans.Design/methodology/approachThe paper takes the form of a general review.FindingsThe British Library Document Supply Centre (BLDSC) has made tremendous gains in optimising the service in its current guise. As with similar organisations, challenges are presenting themselves that require a completely new look at the way the business model is designed. Although the long‐term plan is not completely formed, this paper aims to give an insight into current thinking.Originality/valueThe paper spells out the improvement strategy that the BL has adopted for document supply in the light of the worldwide decline.

AbstractThe Executive Dean of the Faculty of Homœopathy describes recent developments in the Faculty's international relationships. There are plans to establish the MFHom examination in India. The Special Committee for Education of the LMHI has organized discussions aimed at harmonizing standards of education for homœopathic doctors throughout Europe. The present situation of homœopathy in a number of European countries is summarized and the future plans and role of the Faculty of Homœopathy are presented

The FAST code system is currently being developed and used at the Paul Scherrer Institut for static and transient analysis of the main Generation 4 fast-spectrum reactor concepts: sodium-, helium-, and gas-cooled fast reactors. The code system includes the ERANOS code system for static neutronics calculations, as well as coupled TRACE/PARCS/FRED for neutron kinetics, thermal hydraulic, and fuel transient analysis. The paper presents the status of the recent developments in neutronics (new 3D procedure for equilibrium cycle simulation and new transient cross section generation procedure), in thermal hydraulics and chemistry (equations-of-state for new coolants, two-phase flow models for sodium, and new model for oxide layer buildup in heavy-metal flow), and in fuel behavior (new model for the dispersed gas-cooled fast reactor fuel). Near-future plans for the further development of FAST are outlined.
