OSTI ID:7143638

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 Mountain States Energy, a division of MSE, Inc. Within the national MHD program, the CDIF is responsible for performing integration testing of vendor-supplied MHD power train components to support the goal of commercialization. During the fourth quarter of FY86, results of the baseline conductivity/power test series were confirmed, and the MHD seed characterization test series continued. Record durations at the CDIF were set for coal burn time and power generation in the Faraday and diagonal operating modes.
