Final component and technology verification tests have been completed for application to a 2600°F rotor inlet temperature gas turbine. These tests have proven the capability of combustor, turbine hot section, and IGCC fuel systems and controls to operate in a combined cycle plant burning a coal-derived gas fuel at elevated gas turbine inlet temperatures (2600–3000°F). This paper presents recent test results and summarizes the overall progress made during the DOE-HTTT Phase II program.

An extensive model test program was conducted to explore the effectiveness of alternate strake designs to reduce Truss Spar VIV response. Different strake configurations were tested to minimize VIV response. The paper presents results of the model tests. The model test set-up is described, important parameters that are modeled (including hull and truss geometry, strake configuration, mass and mooring properties) and considerations of instrumentation and test methodology are discussed. The paper also describes the analysis of the test results and shows the effectiveness of new strake design. The present results are compared with VIV response of existing Truss Spars with conventional strake design.

A program to design, construct and operate a pilot electric plant using a pressurized fluidized bed (PFB) combustor burning high sulfur coal to produce electricity at competitive costs and in an environmentally acceptable manner is proceeding under DOE sponsorship. Three components were identified needing experimental test data to validate the selected design configurations or material selections. These components included: (a) PFB in-bed heat exchanger tubes, (b) hot gas cleanup system, and (c) turbine blades. R&D test programs utilizing laboratory rigs, commercial fluid bed reactors, and a large scale PFB technology rig were conducted for a cumulative test time of over 10,000 hr. Design criteria and configurations were selected and verified. This paper presents the results of the technology development presents the results of the technology development tests. Also, the large scale PFB technology rig design and test program are presented. The results of operating a small gas turbine coupled to the PFB combustor and hot gas cleanup system within this technology rig are discussed.

Three methods of evaluating beef sires for weaning weight with data obtained from an organized young sire progeny testing program were compared. Information from Agriculture Canada’s National Beef Sire Monitoring Program was utilized along with computational procedures based on best linear unbiased prediction. The methods were applied to data from the Canadian Simmental Association as an illustration of the methods. A model which incorporates the proofs of the reference sires into the comparisons with test bulls was considered more appropriate than the other two models compared. The results also showed that even in an organized progeny test program, test bulls are not truly mated to cows of equal merit or across equal herd environments.

Combustion Of Hydrogen

Successful development of oxygen-blown integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology requires gas turbines capable of achieving dry low-nitrogen oxides (NOx) combustion of hydrogen-rich syngas for low emissions and high plant efficiency. The authors have been developing a “multiple-injection burner” to achieve the dry low-NOx combustion of hydrogen-rich syngas. The purposes of this paper are to present test results of the multi-can combustor equipped with multiple-injection burners in an IGCC pilot plant and to evaluate the combustor performance focusing on effects of flame shapes. The syngas fuel produced in the plant contained approximately 50% carbon monoxide, 20% hydrogen, and 20% nitrogen by volume. In the tests, the combustor that produced slenderer flames achieved lower NOx emissions of 10.9 ppm (at 15% oxygen), reduced combustor liner and burner plate metal temperatures, and lowered the combustion efficiency at the maximum load. The test results showed that the slenderer flames were more effective in reducing NOx emissions and liner and burner metal temperatures. These findings demonstrated that the multiple-injection combustor achieved dry low-NOx combustion of the syngas fuel in the plant.
