Abstract: Piping support of a gas turbine steam cooled combustor is improved such that even when the piping support is damaged by combustion vibration, dropping of the piping support from the piping is prevented, so as to avoid intrusion of fractions of the piping support into turbine portion. An outer fitting member is fixed to a wall surface of a tail tube by welds. A ring is pinched inside the outer fitting member to be fixed by welds. The ring having an inner diameter slightly larger than an outer diameter of steam piping is fitted around the steam piping to be fixed by welds at three places. The steam piping is fixed to the ring, the ring is fixed to the outer fitting member and the outer fitting member is fixed to the tail tube. Thus, the steam piping is supported to the tail tube and even when the welds are detached by combustion vibration, no case of the outer fitting member dropping from the steam piping occurs.

Abstract: This invention relates to equipment for treating the aforesaid waste plastics directly with supercritical water, and an object thereof is to provide a method for the anticorrosive treatment of waste plastics treating equipment which makes it possible to use inexpensive stainless steel. Waste plastics treating equipment made of stainless steel is charged with a predetermined amount of an aqueous solution containing at least one alkali metal salt, and this aqueous solution is deaerated until its dissolved oxygen content is reduced to 0.5 mg/L or less. After the temperature and pressure of the equipment are raised until supercritical conditions are established, these temperature and pressure are maintained for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A safe and efficient hydrothermal reaction apparatus for converting waste plastic into oil is described herein. The apparatus comprises a receiver tank for containing therein a mixture of plastic and water; a high-pressure injection pump in communication with the receiver tank through a flow passage change-over valve, the flow passage change-over valve being in communication with a water injection passage; a reactor device including a curved piping in communication with the injection pump, the curved piping being provided with a heating means; and an effluent tank in communication with the reactor device through a pressure reducing valve. The flow rate of the mixture injected into the reaction device may be controlled by regulating the pressure reducing valve.

Abstract: A safe and efficient hydrothermal reaction apparatus is described herein. Decomposition or synthesis of object material is performed by the continuous passing of the material through a flow passage of multi-staged reactor units under turbulent flow conditions. The flow passage is formed by a curved or spiral piping. In each reactor unit, a hot plate block is included as a heating unit. The hot plate block and the curved piping are placed in an appropriate thermal contact relationship. A portion of the curved piping is freely supported, so as to accommodate stress caused in the piping under high-temperature/high-pressure conditions. A tank is provided for regulating or controlling the pressure fluctuation within the flow passage which may be caused by solids or powder present or occurring in the flow passage during high-pressure treatment.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved granular material used for forming construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The grain material comprises a main material of fly ash or slug powder and reinforcing fibers. The reinforcing fibers are mixed with the main material together with a binder to form a grain body such that the reinforcing fibers project outward from the surface of the grain body. The reinforcing fibers mixed in this fashion permit increasing the bonding strength between the grain and the binder such as cement so as to improve the mechanical strength of the resultant construction material.

Abstract: A radiometric analyzer for measuring characteristics of a material by radiation comprises a plurality of systems in which each consists of a radiation source and a radiation detector which are the same in number as the number of elements of the molecule of the material and a linear calibration circuit having inverse response characteristics (calibration curve) of the respective systems of detectors, whereby the measurement is carried out by a four fundamental rules operation of the mutual outputs of said detector system obtained through said linear calibration circuit. One typical embodiment is a radiometric analyzer for hydrocarbons which measures the density of heavy oil, the sulfur content and the calorific value by three detector systems which include a .gamma.-ray source (E.sub..gamma. > 50 KeV), a soft X-ray source (Ex .apprxeq. 20 Kev), and a neutron ray source.
