Magnetohydrodynamic projects at the CDIF. Quarterly technical progress report, January 1--March 31, 1992

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10165463
The Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) is a major U.S. Department of Energy magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) test facility in Butte, Montana. The CDIF is operated by MSE, Inc. Within the national MHD program, MSE personnel are responsible for performing integration testing of vendor-supplied MHD power train components at the CDIF to support the goal of commercialization. During the second quarter of FY92, a second external water leak on the iron-core magnet was repaired, and MHD testing was completed on February 11; this was the final testing of the workhorse hardware. Workhorse hardware was removed, and installation of the proof-of-concept (POC) combustor began.
