Ceramic matrix composites are key materials for the development of novel concepts and ensuring transformative performances of energy & power systems that enable a low carbon future. However, the requirement for materials to withstand the harsh operating conditions for such applications, combining extreme temperature, thermal/mechanical loading, chemical and corrosive environments, and radiation, presents tremendous challenges to all aspects of ceramic matrix composites technologies. This symposium intends to provide a venue of information exchanges and discussion on the technologies and the underlying science of ceramic matrix composites for energy systems with the main focuses on applications in reducing carbon emission from the energy sector.
Proposed Session Topics
- CMC for energy systems, primarily including concentrated solar power, nuclear fission, fusion, propulsion, but would also accept contributions from geothermal, and hydrogen economy
- CMC for hydrogen economy and carbon management – industrial gas turbines, interaction with new synthesis or green fuels, etc.
- UHTCMCs for relevant energy sectors
- Coatings, integration, joining and machining
- Effects of operating environment on the microstructure, physical and mechanical properties – heat, chemical, mechanical, flow, radiation, shear due to rotating detonation, etc.
- Novel materials, processing, manufacturing, design, and qualification for energy applications
- Porous permeability and long-term compatibility with different fluids
