OSTI ID:5270591

The overall objectives of this program are twofold: (1) to contribute, by appropriate systematic experimental and analytical investigations, to the engineering data base necessary for the design and construction of MHD generators at CDIF-scale (50 MW/sub th/) and baseload scale (2000 MW/sub th/); and (2) to design and fabricate specific hardware items to be tested at the CDIF site in Butte, Montana. Progress is reported on the following tasks: (1) MHD channel design and performance; (2) MHD channel construction and lifetime; (3) MHD channel loading and control; (4) facility operation (MK VI and MK VII test bays); (5) CDIF hardware; and (6) integrated coal-fired flow train testing.
