Question

You are an engineer working for a manufacturer of land-based gas turbines. These turbines are 
similar to jet engines, but they are used on land to provide power for electricity generation and 
gas compression pipeline applications. Suppose that you would like to apply a ceramic-based 
thermal barrier coating to the turbine blades in the first-stage turbine to increase the operating 
temperature and efficiency of the engine.
(a) What difficulties might engineers experience in trying to design a ceramic coating that will 
be app

Expert Solution
Step 1: Explain the gas turbine.

The gas turbine is a mechanical device that uses a chemical fuel and produces the mechanical work output. It is sometimes referred to as the combustion chamber.
