This Final Technical Report presents the results of Phase 3D of the Coal-Fired MHD Combustor Development Project. During Phase 3D, a 50 MW{sub t} combustor first stage (Unit 2) and two second stages were fabricated and tested at TRW with one of the second stage assemblies eventually being shipped to the Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) in Butte, Montana for integration and testing with the 50 MW{sub t} first stage combustor (Unit 1). Combustor plus integrated MHD power train testing was accomplished at CDIF with test support and data analysis support from TRW. Testing accomplished at CDIF included both the combustor only testing and the complete combustor/channel power train testing. In addition to the 50 MW{sub t} coal-fired combustor and power train fabrication and testing activities, TRW completed the design of four (4) additional systems relevant to the 50 MW{sub t} MHD coal-fired combustor. These designs include an electrically isolated slag rejection system, a low preheat coal-fired precombustor, a low preheat coal feed system and an improved slag dump section for the workhorse 50 MW{sub t} combustor. 224 figs., 19 tabs.
