Abstract

The development of materials for the MHD generator has been cited as a major technical obstacle in the development of commercial coal-fired MHD electrical power generation. Serious effort has been in progress to develop and test coal fired MHD electrodes and materials. MHD generator design and operation will be reviewed. 12 refs.

Critical contributions in MHD power generation. Quarterly technical progress report, December 1, 1976--February 28, 1977

Technical Report Louis, J.

Research progress in open-cycle coal-fired MHD power generation at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is reported. The scope and objectives of the MIT program are to: (1) Establish chemical, thermal, and electrical data to guide materials selection, develop improved detail designs, and support performance analyses of MHD electrode modules and insulator materials; (2) establish basic mechanical properties to guide detail design and fabrication of high field strength superconducting magnets for MHD applications; (3) parametrically investigate selected electrode properties of critical design importance in chemical, thermal, and electrical environments simulating a coal-fired MHD generator; (4) develop combustion data pertinent to themore »« less

Characterization of open-cycle coal-fired MHD generators. Quarterly technical summary report No. 3, January 1--March 31, 1977. [Negative ion formation, electron/slag interaction, and alkali/slag interaction]

Technical Report Kolb, C.; Yousefian, V.; Wormhoudt, J.; ...

The purpose of this contract effort is to understand how nonfuel components of coal will affect the electron and alkali seed chemistry in a high temperature coal combustion system like that envisioned for direct fired MHD generators. Three specific problems are being considered during this contract period. The first problem area is to characterize the formation of negative ions due to electron attachment processes in the combustion flow. While some stable negative ions may be formed from hydrocarbon combustion species (OH/sup -/), the bulk of the stable negative ions are expected to be formed from oxidized inorganic coal slag constituentsmore »« less

Development program for MHD direct coal fired power generation test facility. Annual technical progress report, January--December 1976

Technical Report Dicks, J.; Beaton, M.; Scott, M.

The overall objective of this project is to advance the technology of direct coal-fired MHD components and systems required for MHD power systems operating under simulated central power station power conditions. The specific objectives of the direct coal-fired MHD power generation test facility are to resolve experimentally and analytically the key technical problems which have been identified or which may be found to occur in direct coal-fired MHD systems with moderate to high ash carryover. The problem areas involve (1) combustor performance, (2) slag/seed separation, implementation and efficiency, (3) seed separation efficiency from both the exhaust gas stream and frommore »« less

Technical Report Louis, J.

Research and development in open-cycle coal-fired MHD power generation at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is summarized. Progress is reported on the following tasks: (1) Establish chemical, thermal, and electrical data to guide materials selection, develop improved detail designs, and support performance analyses of MHD electrode modules and insulator materials; (2) parametrically investigate selected electrode properties of critical design importance in chemical, thermal, and electrical environments simulating a coal-fired MHD generator; (3) develop combustion data pertinent to the design of MHD combustors; this work is intended to determine the combustion characteristics of selected coal feedstock in terms of devolatilization kinetics,more »« less
