The project is separated into three tasks. The first task is a design and modeling effort to be carried out by MSE, Inc. The initial undertaking of Task 1 is the design of an advanced ceramic MHD electrode. The second task, subcontracted to Applied Technology Laboratories (ATL), is directed at characterizing the mechanical properties of monolithic and bonded ceramics produced with the cohesive ceramic fabrication (CCF) process. The third task, subcontracted to Ceramic Binder Systems, Inc. (CBSi), is to fabricate the components designed in Task 1 and to fabricate a model planar solid oxide fuel cell. These tasks are discussed separately in this report. Areas of technical progress included in this first quarterly report are: assessing design specifications for a hot ceramic MHD electrode; reviewing components suited for CCF process design demonstration; transferring the CCF process technology from CBSi to MSE and ATL personnel; reviewing test methods suited to characterizing mechanical properties of CCF process ceramics; and fabricating individual components for a planar solid oxide fuel cell. 12 refs., 11 figs.
