Abstract

The potential for using structural ceramic materials in components of advanced heat engines including the gas turbine and adiabatic diesel has recently been demonstrated by results in DOE and DOD engine development programs. Status of these efforts, technical needs for candidate ceramic materials, and research opportunities in new DOE and NASA ceramic technology programs oriented to heat engines are reviewed.
