This third quarterly technical progress report of the Coal-Fired MHD Combustor Development Project (Phase IIID) presents the accomplishments during the period 1 November 1984 to 31 January 1985. The scope encompasses development work on the 50 MW/sub t/ combustor related to test support at the CDIF, fabrication and assembly of first and second stoge hardware, plans for second stage design vertification testing and power testing, and designs for a continuous slag rejector and low preheat inlet section. Progress included the following: Operational verification testing of the first stage at the CDIF was completed (A total of 38 tests were conducted); assembly and checkout of the second first stage, two second stages, and PEM was 75 to 90% completed; conceptual designs for a continuous slag rejector and low preheat inlet section were completed and low preheat preliminary design work was 75% completed; and revision of the Users' Manual to include the second stage was 75% completed and a draft Test Plan for power train testing was prepared and reviewed. 13 figures, 7 tables.
