LONG-LIFE CLOSED-LOOP MHD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT UNIT
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4117043
A closed loop MHD generator and motor research unit was designed and built to produce MHD conditions and provide experience in the operation of MHD generators suitable for space applications. During the course of construction, many experimental and analytical advances were made. Component parts of the machine were individually tested before assembly. After assembly the first test used helium and cesium as the working fluid. Future plans include tests with different vapors and duct materials together with the incorporation of non- thermal ionization and possibly superconducting magnets. Results of materials evaluations and performance tests are included. (auth)
