MHD-generator component development. Quarterly report, July 1982-September 1982

Technical Report · Mon Nov 01 04:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:5509801

The overall objectives of this program are 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 to design and fabricate specific hardware items to be tested at the CDIF site in Butte, Montana. A contract change order incorporated in Modification Mod. MO24, effective February 24, 1982, has been executed. The revised contact work statement provides for the testing of a coal-fired MHD flow train in the Mk VI facility, additional hours of long duration testing, and the deletion of some items of deliverable hardware to the CDIF. Progress is reported. (WHK)
