This past quarter ending 12/30/91, the linear MHD channel simulation model has not only been completely specified but also fully modified to incorporate considerations for nonequilibrium particle temperatures. Testing of the modified model with the initial values from the first submodel (Richter`s combustion zone model) and evaluation of the non-equilibrium particle temperature effect on the overall MHD performance is being held up. Reasons for the holdup is the lack of adequate response from Dr. Richter on questions about his nonequilibrium particle temperature model. These questions relate to our insistence to know precisely how the model works and also some review of the source code to ascertain that it is synchronization with our overall analytical development. We have decided to generate initial generator inlet particle parameter values by modifying the CEC code to provide particle parameter values.
