Abstract: For improved efficiency and reduced emissions, the future power plants need to operate at high temperatures and pressures, which however are limited by the durability of conventional materials such as ferritic steels. Steam ...

Abstract: Supercritical (SC) service at high operating values aims for good plant efficiency, but the waterside oxidation resistance can then become lifelimiting. In this paper, selected materials and modeling options are compared ...

Abstract: The advantage of using supercritical water (SCW) systems for power generation is based on the increased thermodynamic efficiency when operating at higher temperature and pressure. Steam oxidation has become an important ...
