Title: Conceptual design of a coal-fired MHD retrofit plant: Quarterly report for April 1988--June 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6613178

The objective of the project is to prepare a site-specific conceptual design of a coal-fired magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system for retrofit to the Scholz Generating Station, Sneads, Florida. The MHD System includes a topping cycle and bottoming cycle but no integrated seed regeneration system. Provisions for future integration of a seed regeneration system will be made with respect to location at the utility site, waste heat utilization, and materials handling. The conceptual design shall include: process, system, and equipment descriptions, interface identification and requirements, equipment and handling arrangements, an overall plant layout, cost and schedule for the design, fabrication/procurement, and arrangement of each major component, and a critical path for the total system effort. The conceptual design will be in sufficient detail to ensure that the integration of the MHD System with the Scholz Generating Station will be compatible with the utility industry standards for constructability, operability, reliability, and maintainability. 6 figs., 1 tab.
