Report on Turbo Expo Norway 10 to 15 June !
1. Papers were presented that did not get into my new tech. Note attachment. There was money there was my feel. Combined cycle was happening beyond presentations.
2. The exhibitors reflected Europe and had it together.
3. Confirmation of intelligent life on planet gratifying.
4. The number heard on my new patent 5 – 8 % stack – exhaust – hot end of Combine Cycle Gas Turbine confirmed.
5. Oslo changed greatly since being there + 20 years ago.
6. Have been seaman on three Norwegian ships, my name is common in Norway and lost count of times in Norway.

Congratulations to the ASME IGTI Dilip R. Ballal Early Career Award Winner

Early Career Awards are intended to honor individuals who have outstanding accomplishments during the beginning of their careers. Historically, there has been no such award to recognize early career engineers working in the area of turbomachinery.

An early career award is intended for those starting a professional career, which is typically after a relevant terminal degree: BS, MS, or PhD. A criterion of seven-years-from-degree will be used to define the nominee’s eligibility. The nominee must receive the award prior to the completion of the seventh year beyond the terminal degree.

The recipient of the Dilip Ballal Early Career Award will be presented with the award at Turbo Expo. The award consists of a plaque, funds to support the travel and registration costs to Turbo Expo, free ASME membership registration for five years, and a US $2000 honorarium.

Nomination Requirements
The nomination package should include the following:
a) A paragraph (less than 50 words) from the nominator highlighting nominee’s contributions
b) Nomination letter
c) Two supporting letters
d) Current resume of the nominee

Nomination packets are due to ASME on or before August 1, 2018. Send complete nomination to: igtiawards@asme.org.

Congratulations to the 2018 Dilip R. Ballal Early Career Award winner Dr. Jacqueline O’Connor, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University.

• Controls
• Diagnostics
• Electric Power Plant Integration
• Fluid Dynamics & Thermal Sciences
• Operation, Maintenance, & Life Cycle Cost
• Manufacturing, Materials, & Metallurgy
• Structures & Dynamics
• Thermodynamic Cycles
• Turbomachinery

The Industrial Gas Turbine Technology Award will include an optional opportunity to deliver a lecture or present an invited technical paper on the work for which the award is being bestowed, at ASME Turbo Expo.
