work is proceeding In Great Britain to ascertain the pos- sibilities of using powdered solid fuel in place of oil as the source of energy for gas turbines.
Many engineering problems have to be solved before such usa can become a practical reality, notably the dificulty of over coining the effect of the deleteri- our components of the fuel ash on the material of the turbine blades and other parts.
