Book Description
The Earl, The Kings, And The Chronicler is the first full length biography of Robert (c.1088-1147), grandson of William the Conqueror and eldest son of King Henry I of England (1100-35), who could not succeed his father because he was a bastard. Instead, as the earl of Gloucester, he helped change the course of English history by keeping alive the prospects for an Angevin succession through his leadership of its supporters against his father's successor, King Stephen (1135-54) in the civil war known as the Anarchy. Robert of Gloucester is one of the great figures of Anglo-Norman history (1066-1154). He occupies important niches in the era's literature, from comprehensive political studies of Henry I's and Stephen's reigns and an array of specialized fields to the 'Brother Cadfael' novels of Ellis Peters. Gloucester was one of only three landed super-magnates of his day, a model post-Conquest great baron, Marcher lord, borough developer, and patron of the rising merchant class. His trans-Channel barony stretched from western Lower Normandy across England to south Wales. Robert was both a product and a significant agent of the contemporary cultural revival known as the Renaissance of the Twelfth Century, being bi-lingual, well educated, and a significant literary patron. In this last role he is especially notable for commissioning the greatest English historian since Bede, William of Malmesbury, to produce a history of their times which justified the empress Matilda's claim to the English throne and Earl Robert's support of it.
Hot Corrosion/erosion Testing of Materials for Application to Advanced Power Conversion Systems Using Coal-derived Fuels

Book Description
Pressurized fluidized bed combustion offers a potentially efficient technique for energy production by combusting coal in an environmentally acceptable manner. This program entails the operation of the Exxon Pressurized Fluidized Bed Coal Combustion Miniplant to provide a test site for the exposure of specimens of potential fireside heat exchanger alloys and gas turbine materials. The installation and shakedown phase of this program has been completed. Heat exchanger specimen probes and turbine blade materials were exposed to pressurized fluidized bed coal combustion conditions for tests of 17 hours and 100 hours. Temperature control of the 21 heat exchanger probes was excellent, and the probe specimens showed no visible signs of attack after 117 hours of exposure. With the aid of 4 methane injection nozzles in the off gas piping, the temperature at the turbine test section was maintained at 1550°F. During the shakedown tests the flue gas flow decreased to a lower level than intended because of refractory plugs in the pressure reducing station. Temperature at the turbine test section had to be lowered during the run to maintain 9 atm pressure in the combustor. This was accomplished by ceasing methane injection and eventually lowering the combustor temperature. The airfoil-shaped turbine specimens experienced a regular pattern of fly ash deposition.
