Design and construction of a large superconducting MHD magnet for the Coal-Fired Flow Facility at the University of Tennessee Space Institute

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6432339
The Argonne National Laboratory has designed and is constructing a large superconducting MHD dipole magnet system for use in the Coal-Fired Flow Facility (CFFF) at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI). The complete system will be tested at Argonne and installed at the UTSI during the early part of 1981. The magnet system has a peak on-axis field of 6.0 T and a warm aperture of 80 cm at the MHD channel inlet, 100 cm diameter at the end of effective field and an effective field length of 3.0 m. The MHD warm bore and magnet cryostat are shown, and significant magnet parameters are given.
