Magnetohydrodynamic projects at the CDIF

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:6072923

The Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) is a major US Department of Energy magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) test facility in Butte, Montana. The CDIF is operated by MSE, Inc. Within the national MHD program, MSE personnel are responsible for performing integration testing of vendor-supplied MHD power train components at the CDIF to support the goal of commercialization. During the fourth quarter of FY91, MHD testing was shut down. In addition to installing the new Data Acquisition System (DAS), activities such as rebuilding the channel, investigating and repairing the magnet leak, installing the slag removal system, and modifying existing systems were addressed.
