The technical program for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Turbo Expo 2008 will include sessions on cogeneration, controls and diagnostics, advanced materials, and other subjects relating to gas turbine technology.
Heat transfer, structures and dynamics, fuel flexibility, and alternative fuels are among the other topics to be covered at ASME Turbo Expo, which is set for June 9-13, 2008, at the Estrel Hotel and Convention Center in Berlin, Germany.
According to Thomas Sattelmayer, chair of the technical conference, several sessions within the five-day program will explore areas of interest in the local European marketplace, including emissions control and noise reduction. Four sessions covering noise prediction, fan noise, jet noise, and combustion and core noise are scheduled at Turbo Expo.
In addition to the technical program, ASME Turbo Expo 2008 — Gas Turbine Technical Congress and Exposition also will include facility tours, continuing education short courses, and a three-day exposition showcasing the products and services of engine manufacturers, software developers, research laboratories, and other firms.
The ASME International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI) is primary sponsor and organizer of Turbo Expo 2008. For information on the conference, call IGTI at (404) 847-0072 or visit the conference website.
