PREVENTION OF FAILURES IN COAL CONVERSION SYSTEMS: PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING OF THE MECHANICAL FAILURES PREVENTION GROUP (24TH) HELD AT BATTELLE, COLUMBUS LABORATORIES, COLUMBUS, OHIO ON APRIL 21-23, 1976

These Proceedings consist of a group of twenty submitted papers and discussions from the 24th meeting of the Mechanical Failures Prevention Group which was held at Battelle, Columbus Laboratories in Columbus, Ohio on April 21-23, 1976. Prevention of failures in coal conversion systems is the central theme of the Proceedings. A series of overview lectures dealing with reliability problems in coal conversion systems, economics of failures in energy generating systems, corrosion, and gaps in engineering data are presented. In addition, failure analysis, materials problems, and related materials research are discussed.
