The Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) is operated for the Department of Energy (DOE) by MSE, Inc. MSE personnel were responsible for the integration of topping cycle components for the national coal-fired magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) development program, In the spring of 1992, a prototypic: 50-MW, pressurized, slag rejecting coal-fired combustor (CFC) was installed in the integrated topping cycle test train. Testing during the past year emphasized obtaining comprehensive data on the performance of the 1A{sub 4} MHD generator, including both combustor and channel/diffuser DVT for the purposes of gaining increased understanding of coal-fired MHD power generation. Actual test progress at the CDIF will be discussed elsewhere. A large amount of data has been collected as part of the proof-of-concept (POC) MHD test series in recent months. Some of the data collected last year have been analyzed and reported. This paper reports results for previous and new study subjects on the new data collected since June 1992.
