Abstract:
Factors such as increases in population, urbanization, growth in per capita income and changes in consumer taste and preferences are causing gradual increases in livestock product consumption and demand. South Africa is addressing this predicted increase in livestock products demand by commercializing smallholder livestock producers. The Limpopo Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) Nguni Cattle Development Project is an example of such effort. The economic performance of these efforts needs to be evaluated. We use gross margin analysis to evaluate the performance of the Limpopo IDC Nguni Cattle Development Project. Additionally, we use regression analysis to identify factors influencing gross margins. Our results indicate that although smallholders show potential to commercialize, they lack commercial farming experience and require that a strong extension support system be used as one of the strategies to improve profitability. We also noted that individual farmers were more profitable than group farmers. Multiple regression analysis shows that three variables could be used to stimulate gross margin among the Limpopo IDC Nguni Cattle Development Project farmers. These are herd size, distance to market and farm size. Since farm size is a given, policy should focus on assisting farmers to build their herds and to have better access to markets.

Abstract:
What are the variables determining the organization structure of public sector enterprises in developing countries? Are they different from those of private sector organizations in developed and developing countries? Venkataramana and Sarma attempt to answer these questions by examining in depth the structure of the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (APIDC), which has been set up by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to promote industrial development in the state. The authors examine how APIDC'S structure has evolved and assess the performance of the organization against the stated objectives. They state that APIDC's structure has so evolved as to subserve the strategic interests of a dominant coalition which relies on political power in decision making.

Abstract:
In recent years, also in connection with Covid-19 pandemics and enforced restrictions, there has been the formation of large industrial corporations gathering separate companies with similar, sometimes complementary production profiles. This evolving trend has brought usually positive economic effects; however, it has also created some integration problems that include the process safety management. The Texas City BP accident in 2005 and its tremendous human and economic losses underlined the obstacles in defining a well-structured corporation process safety management. The main causes of the above-mentioned accident were connected to an inadequate safety culture at the managerial level. Strong leadership and high standards of corporate governance are required to inspire correct safety behavior in the staff. The so-called soft skills become even more important in the Industry 4.0 arena, where the foundation of the whole system is based on an intelligent use and interpretation of data. The importance of this aspect is confirmed by several post-accidental analyses of past events. Although some research on this topic has been already done, it is worth it to dedicate some effort to identifying specific factors which influence the corporate process safety management quality, and, once identified, to assess them. This paper applies the concept of “lessons learnt” for the identification of organizational and managerial aspects worth consideration in process safety management. Based on accident and literature reviews and expert opinions, the aim is to identify the major contributing factors among leadership and safety culture, risk awareness, knowledge and competence, communication, and information and decision-making processes. To self-assess the level of commitment of the top leaders in process safety management, a checklist approach is proposed, combined with a quantitative, weighted evaluation based on the Relative Efficiency Indicator (REI). Positive value of REI may ensure the effectiveness of process safety management in major hazard industries and their appropriate adaptation to the corporation community. The proposed method, which is validated in an actual case study, underlines the importance of an appropriate education, and of a more careful selection of HSE managers.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the wide range of manufacturing industries in Japan and hypothesized the numerous factors external to a corporation particularly for abstracting the determinants of research and development (R&D) expenditures. Previous studies primarily dealt with internal corporate factors such as sales, operating profits, or diversification. This study selected, integrated, and performed multiple regression analyses for nine industries based on the panel data concerning R&D expenditures. This resulted in the abstraction of statistically significant factors. R&D expenditures in the preceding term are an internal factor. This could be considered a comprehensive and continuous indicator of the scale of a corporation, its performance, its fixed R&D expenditures and corporate strategies. External factors cited are growth of the market, competitiveness, export dependency, labor intensity, and whether products are directed toward end-customers. This study would especially aid in deciding the R&D strategy as an aspect of the company expenses.

Abstract:
This paper examines the operational performance of seven public sector enterprises in the large-scale manufacturing sector which include the Federal Chemical and Ceramics Corporation (FCCCL), National Fertilizer Corporation (NFC), Pakistan Automobile Corporation (PACO), Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC), State Cement Corporation of Pakistan (SCCP), State Engineering Corporation (SEC), and State Petroleum Refining and Petro-chemical Corporation (PERAC). Together, these seven corporations have some 67 units under their control. Performance assessment can be undertaken in financial and economic terms. Under the former, the key indicators of performance include profitability ratios such as the Gross Profit Ratio, the Return on Investment Ratio, and the Return on Equity Ratio. Other financial ratios include the Debt: Equity Ratio, the Current Ratio, the Acid Test Ratio, the Asset Turnover Ratio, the Return on Asset Ratio, and the Net Profit Margin Ratio. These ratios may also be called Solvency and liquidity Ratios as they measure the financial performance of the enterprise concerned. The measures listed above dealing with the financial profitability of enterprises are estimated in the annual reports of the Experts Advisory Cell, of the Ministry of Production, Government of Pakistan.

Abstract:
In the context of the systemic reform of the Russian economy, there is a tendency to the emergence of corporations in various sectors of the national economy. The military-industrial complex is no exception. The article deals with the specifics of property management of corporations of the military-industrial complex in the production of high-tech products. To achieve the strategic goals of the corporation, it is necessary to develop a strategy based on objective forecasts of the development of the arms market, taking into account potential external and internal risks, as well as an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the corporation. Corporate governance is based on the existing norms in the field of financial activities, securities, labor relations in the labor market, contractual obligations, and contractual activities between enterprises. It is proved that the adaptive development of corporations of the military-industrial complex directly depends on the competent organization of financial activities, as well as within its framework of credit and investment activities. The article presents the balance sheet model of financing of the defense industry corporation, which allows to form the budget of the defense industry corporation, based on the allocation of financial resources for the operation and development of the main activities of the defense industry corporation. One of the most important tasks of managing the property of corporations of the military-industrial complex is to provide opportunities for scientific and technological development, which, after commercialization, can create key strategic competitive advantages for enterprises of the defense industry corporation.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The research on this topic was motivated by the concern about the state of disarray in the public hospitals infrastructure and that due to budget constrain across the globe, the governments can no longer afford to provide public health services alone without the assistance of the private sector. South African public healthcare system continues to function in a state of disarray. Public hospitals serve the vast majority of the South African population, but are underfunded and in most cases these hospitals have ailing infrastructure. The study will look at the mechanism to fund public hospitals. This study examines the role that the Industrial Development Corporation and the Development Bank of Southern Africa can play in addressing the gap that exists in funding public hospitals. It will attempt to answer the following questions of concern, how is public healthcare financed in South Africa, what are the major challenges in financing public hospitals, what is the current role played by the Industrial Development Corporation and the Development Bank of Southern Africa in funding the public hospitals and what are the other possible solutions to address these challenges. The findings indicate that, despite the government funding the public hospitals there is a shortfall of funds for hospitals to complete the project that they are engage in. Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital and other five cases of hospitals in KwaZulu Natal were looked at and confirmed that there is definitely a gap in funding public hospitals

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The non-availability of funding for low-cost housing is a major stumbling block in the provision of housing for the poor in South Africa (Moss, 2001). Banks and other commercial institutions are generally reluctant to fund construction companies in this industry in view of the high level of risk involved. The Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa is a development finance institution that is involved in the financing of construction companies. This study looked at the effectiveness of IDC in financing construction companies that are involved in low cost housing development. The study also looked at whether the IDC's strategiC objectives of promoting job creation had been achieved by providing funding to the construction companies. Only those companies involved in low-cost housing as the only or part of their business activities have been chosen for the study. A qualitative method of research analysiS has been selected as the best way of analysing the research findings in this paper. The empirical analysis indicated that generally the respondents are satisfied with the funding provided by the Industrial Development Corporation, but have serious concerns regarding the turnaround times for credit approvals, completion of legal agreements, disbursement of funds and the fees charged.

Abstract:
Small and Medium Enterprises play an important economic role in many countries. In South Africa, for example, a significant proportion of the formal business entities are SMEs; and they contribute between 52 and 57% to GDP, and provide about 61% to employment. However, despite their significance in the local economy, SMEs regularly encounter the threat of failure. Business failure can be disruptive and costly to a large number of stakeholders, which include the owner, the employees, suppliers, customers, investors, bankers, communities, etc. This study examines failed SMEs and compares them with SMEs that are going concerns in order to discover significant differences between the two groups. The study adopted non-parametric tests and binary logistic regression methods. The final data set included 50 failures covering the calendar years July 2009 and June 2012, and 50 going concerns listed in the IDC database on 30 June 2012. The dataset was limited to industrial sector firms from the Chemicals, Metal, Textiles and Wood & Paper industry. The results of this study indicate that, the going concern sample of SMEs were larger than the failures in terms of firm size; led by more experienced management; older in terms of years in existence; and were supported by a stronger equity structure and interest cover ratio. The binary logistic regression results also show that SMEs located in provinces with high per capita income are associated with high probability of failure. But SMEs with increase in annual turnover or increase in equity structure are less likely to fail. Understanding which variables are statistically significantly different between the two groups can enable business owners to develop plans to increase their likelihood of survival. They can also help other stakeholders such as funders implement policies and controls for funding SMEs that mitigate these risk factors.

This study considers the impact that the particular funding structure used in the financing of black economic empowerment (BEE) transactions has on the expected outcome. Various structures are evaluated, each with their particular advantages and disadvantages. The report details the history of South Africa, the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), as well as the black economic empowerment phenomenon. An in-depth commentary on the financing structures used for BEE transactions within the IDC is presented together with a new, remodeled structure to be used in the analysis as part of a comparative study to determine whether the existing preferential Vanilla Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structure garners the most appropriate result for the BEE entrepreneur. The statistical study tests whether the Vanilla SPV structure, where the financier is reliant on dividends for the repayment of their preference shares, is a better structure than the reworked SPV structure, where the financier is reliant on free cash flow for repayment. The results infer that access to free cash flow is preferred by both the financier, as well as the BEE party, as vesting is higher and the bullet payment required to attain that vesting is significantly lower.

Abstract:
The study examines six factors identified by previous studies as having the potential to influence the outcome of turnarounds of firms. The six factors identified are efficiency strategy, severity, free assets, size, changes on the top management and black economic empowerment (BEE). This study is based on the propositions that the identified factors will influence the turnaround outcomes of the firms that were restructured by the Industrial Development Corporation. A sample of 78 firms was obtained for the study. The sample consisted of 46 successful turnaround and 31 failed turnaround. Logistic regression was used to test the sample. A significant finding of this study is that BEE is the only factor that has a positive influence on the outcome of the turnaround. This study is of use in identifying factors are useful to take into account when considering turning around a firm. The results of the study differ with most of the literature reviewed. Copyright

Abstract:
In March 2002, the Coega Development Cooperation (CDC) announced that the infrastructure design was complete, and the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) was declared the first IDZ in South Africa. The Coega IDZ was established to improve the delivery of infrastructure in the Eastern Cape by addressing skill shortages, unemployment, constrained planning and project management capacity, under-expenditure, sub-standard infrastructure, and inefficiencies that characterise delivery of infrastructure by government in South Africa generally and the Eastern Cape Province in particular. In the process, socio-economic development and transformation in the Eastern Cape and South Africa as a whole will be advanced. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the extent to which the various determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) influence the investment promotion strategy (IPS) used by the CDC, and how these determinants can be used in the IPS to increase the number of signed investors at the CDC.

Abstract:
The need for social cost benefit analysis for appraising industrial projects by development finance institutions and developing economies has been seen to being relevant over the years and even since the 1960s. As such major global organisations, namely the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank have taken a step to sponsor research for developing practical methodologies for this purpose. It is quite evident that these organisations view social cost benefit analysis as a useful tool in project evaluation. These organisations have also issued various publications for this purpose. The first comprehensive methodologies for social cost benefit analysis were developed in the 1960s and this clearly provides the early rise of the usefulness and debate surrounding social cost benefit analysis. A study was performed in India in the early 90s where various projects from a state development finance institution were evaluated in order to conclude if a formal social cost benefit analysis was performed, would the projects been selected for investments by the state development finance institution. This research has been enthused by this Indian study as there is little to no research performed in the South African context for social cost benefit analysis in project evaluation. Previous literature from earlier years regarded the available methodologies for social cost benefit analysis as being too demanding in terms of the skill required as well as the information required for the performance. Over the years, UNIDO has developed software (COMFAR) in order to assist in the application of the methodology for social cost benefit analysis. This software has improved on the feasibility of performing social cost benefit analysis. This research follows the UNIDO Guidelines for Project Evaluation Methodology, which was also used in the Indian study. This methodology has also been incorporated in the COMFAR software. In summary, this research endeavours to conclude on whether there is any value in performing a formal social cost benefit analysis in project evaluation by DFIs.

Abstract:
To make the most of emergent techno-economic innovations, countries around the world must constantly upgrade their physical infrastructure and infrastructure systems – more than ever now that the world is facing growing environmental constraints. Public policies that foster the transformation of established infrastructure sectors, and encourage the development of new ones, can help to speed up and direct these structural changes. But to be effective, these policies must take into account how the process of development of new sectors varies among different infrastructure sectors, how it varies with respect to other kinds of sector, and how it varies in different institutional contexts. In this work, I show how three new infrastructure sectors developed in Chile, a ‘Hierarchical Market Economy' characterised by the dominance of diversified business groups and subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, a segmented labour market, and a low-skills equilibrium. These three sectors are the ones that first started to build wind farms, solar PV systems, and anaerobic digesters in the country, and in the study I characterize three aspects of their development process: a) the economic changes that turned these new (to the country) kinds of infrastructure facilities into attractive entrepreneurial opportunities; b) the economic agents that discovered these opportunities and developed them into viable investment projects, and those that sponsored and procured finance to build these projects; and c) the means by which these economic agents became capable of undertaking the relatively novel activities that their entrepreneurial initiative demanded. The resulting rich description of new sectoral development processes in Hierarchical Market Economies helps to understand what makes these processes vary inter-sectorally, cross-sectorally, and cross-nationally.

Abstract:
The chapter is about the importance of networking activities in building successful and sustainable international development cooperation (IDC) experiences. The reasoning starts from the consideration that, while society is going through a deep change process and is moving towards a network model (the so-called network society), international development cooperation still seems to adopt models and practices that were conceived for an industrial society. A brief review of the most common critics to IDC shows that increasing the level of networking and knowledge-sharing could contribute to effectively tackling the main inadequacies and challenges that IDC is facing. In turn, this would also help networking for development studies to find their place both in academic and in non-academic research and to be taken in greater account by policy makers. The concept of “networking for development”, introduced in the central part of the chapter, is analyzed from different angles: first by defining the actors that should be involved and the mechanisms that should be put in place, second by reasoning on the added value of networking and on the ways to demonstrate its potential impact on IDC, and finally by mapping the relevance of the issue in a some donors’ strategy.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the historical evolution of the Andean Financial Corporation (CAF), according to its changing mandates, from its initial role as financial catalyst of economic integration to the expanding range of tasks it has assumed over time. The chapter analyses the most salient trends and changes in the CAF’s nearly fifty years of operations; specifically, by looking at patterns of loan allocations and the evolving origins of funding sources through the distinctive operational phases that have come to characterize concrete periods of its existence. The analysis shows, that by fulfilling the original mandate of treating less-developed countries within the group of founding members in preferential terms, the CAF conformed to one of the major political goals set by the Andean-region agreements which created the Corporation. Despite profound political change in all of the CAF’s founding countries, this regional development bank has managed to continue to operate according to its constitutive principles.

Abstract:
Engineering modeling software systems have been developed during a long integration process from separated partial solutions to current modeling software platforms (MSPs). MSP is expected to provide all necessary model creation and application capabilities during integrated innovation and the life cycle of commercial and industrial products (CIP). Recently, advanced CIP is operated by component systems organized within an increasingly autonomous cyber physical system (CPS). CIP is represented by the engineering model system (EMS). EMS is driven by active contexts between the outside world and EMS, between component models of EMS, and between objects in a component model. EMS reacts to any new contribution using all formerly represented contexts. Consistent structure of contexts gives autonomous operation capability for EMS. Active contexts between the outside world and EMS make EMS sensitive to outside world changes. In the other direction, EMS can generate advice for the outside world using high level and well-organized active knowledge as context. Contributing to research in key issues around EMS and the relevant software technology, this paper introduces results in requirements against MSP capabilities to represent intelligent driving content (IDC) in EMS. A novel organized structure of IDC and continuous engineering (CE) aspects of IDC development are explained and discussed placing the main emphasis on situation awareness. Finally, a new concept is introduced in which purposeful EMS acts as the only media in communication of researchers. Specially configured MSP facilitates participation from industrial, institutional, and academic organizations. The research proceeds at the Laboratory of Intelligent Engineering Systems (IESL) in the organization of the Óbuda University.

Abstract:
The city of Chennai has made road accident data available with the address location of road accidents and the total numbers of persons and pedestrians affected in the accident in 2009. These data were geocoded to locate the accidents with respect to the census wards within the Chennai Corporation area. Both the total number of persons as well as pedestrians in accidents as well as the rate of accidents normalized by population in the ward were modeled as dependent variables using Poisson based regression models to see the effect of location characteristics such as road length, vehicle traffic, proximity to existing and proposed transit infrastructure and the percentage of the land developed between 1991-2009. The results from the models suggest that location does indeed affect the risk for accidents in Chennai and that planners in the city may need to better understand the implications of roads, urban development, transit access and the built environment for traffic safety.

Abstract:
Forgoing an examination of the media industries, Chapter 1 focuses instead on the rise of what one might call the mediated industries. A prehistory of television at work, this chapter traces an intensifying relationship between electronic media and the workplace that follows the development and industrial application of telegraphy, telephony, recorded sound, wireless, applied radio, Muzak, faxing, and nontheatrical film. Situating this discussion in the context of scholars’ treatment of communication and empire, it argues that television occupies a key transitional position for the mediated corporation in which electronic communication’s dual uses as a logistical tool and as a conduit for cultural production converge. These processes illustrate the development of an alternative media sector and the symbiotic relationship between the “knowledge industries” and corporate expansion, as well as the specificities of how media infrastructures are created at scale.

Abstract:
In previous chapters we have demonstrated how the practice of policy integration—the linking of environmental regulatory policies with resource pricing policies, trade and investment policies, and technological capabilities building policies—in the East Asian NIEs has driven down the energy and pollution intensity of industrial activity in these economies. As we have shown, each East Asian NIE used a somewhat different strategy for driving down environmental intensities. Singapore did it by effectively linking its tough environmental agency, the Ministry of the Environment, to the country’s premier institutions of industrial policy—the Economic Development Board and the Jurong Town Corporation—charged with attracting OECD multinationals and providing them with factories and OECD-like infrastructure facilities. Taiwan Province of China took a decidedly different path. Following the decision of the central government to create a tough regulatory agency in the face of strong opposition from the country’s institutions of industrial policy, the government, by building a capable regulatory agency and allowing it to get tough with polluters, demonstrated to those who managed the institutions of industrial policy that they would have to adapt to a crackdown on polluters. They did so by using the institutions of industrial policy to craft an approach to industrial environmental improvement that linked Taiwanese firms and the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration to the technology-upgrading policies of the Industrial Development Bureau in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the technological research activities of the Industrial Technology Research Institute. Where governments had less capable environmental regulatory agencies, they used several other pathways to policy integration. The government of Malaysia followed two different pathways to policy integration. On the one hand, it adopted an industry-specific approach to de-link palm oil production and the export of processed palm oil products from palm oil pollution by integrating palm oil processors with a quasi-public, quasi-private palm oil research institute, the Palm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia, and the Department of the Environment in a search for a cost-effective palm oil waste treatment technology. Once a viable solution to pollution emerged, the Department of the Environment used its embedded autonomy with producers in this sector to ratchet up emissions standards and de-link palm oil processing from palm oil pollution.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this study is to seek industrial players' inputs on fiscal and monetary policies necessary to enhance SME export performance. The authors use survey data from 215 small and medium enterprises having export markets. They report the most essential governmental export support policies from the perspective of the industry players. The study revealed that accessing to financing is the top request to the government. Other policy recommendations are related to market access, human capital development, tax regimes, infrastructure and technology adoption, legal and regulatory environment, and monetary policies. This study gives implications for Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) policymakers and export-oriented small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The study contributes to the Malaysian SMEs in relation to inputs to the government to improve their export performance especially using e-commerce.

Abstract:
Since 1984, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc.) has been conducting a cooperative research program to apply ceramics to power generating gas turbines with three Japanese gas turbine manufacturers (Toshiba Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Hitachi, Ltd.). The goal of the program is development of a 20MW class gas turbine with turbine inlet temperature of 1,300C (1,573K) to improve the efficiency of coal gasification combined cycle power generation. Preliminary design of the gas turbine was conducted during 1984–1985 and basic design criteria, such as desired configuration and material properties, were established. Based on the results of the preliminary design, it was decided to apply ceramics to the liner and transition piece of the combustor, the 1st and 2nd stage nozzles and 1st stage rotor in a three stage turbine. As for the rotors, development efforts were also applied to thermal barrier coatings on conventional metal blades. Parallel efforts have been conducted on the development of each ceramic component since 1986. This paper will review the design of ceramic components from structural and material standpoints, and present results obtained from tests conducted under various operational conditions.

Abstract:
The 501F engine is a high temperature industrial grade 150MW size engine jointly developed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, LTD. Full load shop tests of the new engine were successfully completed at MHI’s Takasago Machinery Works in the summers of 1989 and 1991. Several design enhancements were incorporated into the engine through continuous development since the first test. The delivery schedule of the first engine provided the opportunity for the second full load shop test. This paper includes a discussion of those enhancements as well as discussions of the second full load shop test and plans for future development of the 501F engine.

Abstract:
With the recent trend of reducing U.S. military expenditures, it has become desirable to develop dual use of certain Department of Defense facilities. These efforts have a commercial purpose, while still retaining a military benefit. The goals of these efforts are to make U.S. business more competitive in world markets, to develop the technology to solve pressing national problems, and to maintain intact the necessary talent pool and equipment for possible military needs. In a recent initiative described in this paper, test cell equipment at the Arnold Engineering Development Center, Arnold AFB, Tennessee, was modified and expanded to allow development by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation of low-emission combustors for heavy-duty gas turbines for commercial power generation.

Abstract:
Through an alliance established in 1992 between Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Rolls-Royce plc, a program has been implemented that will bring the industrial Trent aero engine to the power generation marketplace. The Rolls-Royce Trent has been initially sized at 50 MW, with a development potential to higher power ratings, and is offered by Westinghouse as a complete power generation package, the “Trent EconoPac”. The Trent EconoPac sets a new performance standard in the industry with a nominal simple cycle efficiency of 42 percent. It is also ideal for combined cycle and cogeneration applications; a net combined cycle power of 63 MW at 52 percent efficiency can be developed. This paper describes the Trent industrial engine and EconoPac and reviews the development program with emphasis on unique features that benefit the power plant operator.

Abstract:
AlliedSignal Engines is addressing critical concerns slowing commercialization of structural ceramics in gas turbines. The AlliedSignal 331-200[CT] APU test bed features ceramic first-stage nozzles and blades. Fabrication of ceramic components provides manufacturing process demonstration scale-up to minimum levels for commercial viability. Endurance tests and field testing in commercial aircraft will demonstrate component reliability. Manufacturing scale-up activities showed significant progress in 1997. Subcontractors AlliedSignal Ceramic Components (CC, Torrance, CA) and Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corporation (KICC, Vancouver, WA), transitioned process refinements to demonstration. CC initiated trial production of 100 nozzles/month. These suppliers are also developing fixed processes to fabricate ceramic integrally-bladed turbine rotors (“blisks”). Ceramic design technology advanced with carbon particle impact testing supporting impact model verification, and 300 hours successful engine testing of longer-life inserted blade attachment compliant layers. Ceramic turbine nozzles were readied for planned field demonstrations with 473 hours of engine testing. This work was funded as part of the Turbine Engine Technologies Program by the DoE Office of Transportation Technologies under Contract No. DE-AC02-96EE50454.

Abstract:
AlliedSignal Engines is addressing the critical concerns that are slowing commercialization of structural ceramics in gas turbines. The 331-200[CT] auxiliary power unit (APU) test bed features ceramic first-stage nozzles and blades. Fabrication of ceramic components provides manufacturing process demonstration scale-up to the minimum levels needed for commercial viability. On-site endurance tests are demonstrating component reliability, and additional field testing in APUs onboard commercial aircraft and stationary industrial engines is planned. Manufacturing scale-up activities showed significant progress during 1998. Subcontractors AlliedSignal Ceramic Components (Torrance, CA) and Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corporation (Vancouver, WA) transitioned process refinements to full demonstration. Both suppliers achieved demonstration capability of ceramic nozzle production at the rate of 100 pieces/month. These suppliers are also developing fixed processes to fabricate ceramic integrally-bladed turbine rotor disks (“blisks”). Ceramic design technology advanced, and 776 hours engine operational testing of a ceramic blisk were successfully completed. Ceramic turbine nozzles were readied for planned field demonstrations, with 2.213 hours of engine endurance testing completed. High-temperature ceramic material tests in the cyclic oxidation test rigs were initiated, to establish functional operating temperature limits for current silicon nitride materials in gas turbine environments. This work was funded as part of the Turbine Engine Technologies Program by the U.S. Dept. of Energy Office of Transportation Technologies under Contract No. DE-AC02-96EE50454.
