...Nesredin Kedir; D. Calvin Faucett; Luis Sanchez; Sung R. Choi The response of a silicon carbide (SiC) fibrous ceramic composite to foreign object damage (FOD) was determined at ambient temperature and velocities ranging from 40 to 150 m/s. Target specimens were impacted, at a normal incidence angle...

...Carl A. Palmer; Royce L. Abel; Peter Sandvik This paper describes the development and initial application studies for an active combustion pattern factor controller (APFC) for gas turbines. The system is based around the use of a novel silicon carbide optical ultraviolet dual diode flame...

... fabrication run time, silicon carbide (SiC) was deposited with methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) concentrations up to 3 mol % . Using only hydrogen as the fluidizing gas, the high concentration MTS tests resulted in particles with lower than desired SiC densities. However, when hydrogen was partially replaced...
