OSTI ID:5582770

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. Progress on the following tasks is described: Task 1) MHD channel design and performance; Task 2) MHD channel construction and lifetime; Task 3) MHD channel loading and control; Task 4) facility operation; Task 5) CDIF Hardware; and Task 6) integrated coal-fired flow train testing.
