RE: Power Generation
Hi,
Milton's reference to high silt erosion of turbine in India, please note that the nodal agency,NHPC (National hydroelectric Power Corporation) have recently admitted in their website that trials conducted by thermal spray, plasma nitriding and polymeric coatings did not lead to any better performance, hence they have stopped all future trials on these areas.However their generous funding in these areas have resulted in good number of papers,doctorates and helped lot of organisations to make good.If you are really interested in this area, please refer to my book, entitled 'Surface wear,analysis, treatment,and prevention ' published by ASM International,2001.
