Deskripsi
Volcanic ash is hazardous to jet engines, with high temperatures in turbines causing ash particles to melt and stick to the engine, adversely affecting turbine function. Here, the authors explore the spectrum of natural ash compositions and their behaviour and impact at high temperatures.
