The thesis is divided in three parts. In the first part a ceramic automobile turbine with a turbine entry temperature of 1623 K is designed as a drive for a passenger car of the upper middle car class. Properties of this drive are projected and thus compared with regard to the essential evaluation criteria of conventional drives: driving performance fuel consumption and emission of pollutants. Production methods and properties of various ceramic materials are discussed in the second part. The production design of ceramic components is explained by using wheel and compressor turbine as an example. The third part describes todays state of development of ceramic components and lists the points where further work is needed. (ERA citation 08:055936)
