Book Description
The objective of this experimental research, initiated in December 1973, is to demonstrate the attainment of MHD performance on a sufficiently large scale to verify that the projected efficiency of the commercial MHD concept is viable. To perform the experiment, an existing facility at the Arnold Engineering Development Center was refurbished and the new systems required for performing the experiment have been designed and built. In particular, the largest systems which have required the greatest portion of the expended effort are the generator channel and 6 Tesla (T) cryogenically cooled magnet. The generator channel is now complete and the magnet is approximately 85 percent complete. Proof testing of various components has been performed to the extent possible and extensive testing of the plasma generator with its ancillary systems in particular has been completed. During the period between October 1, 1978 and December 31, 1978, the assembly of the magnet continued with the installation of the force containment structure (FCS) and upper pole steel being completed. Final placement of the magnet was accomplished and initial testing of the magnet performance was started. In the course of this testing, an arc over occurred in the outlet end coolant tubes and the testing was terminated to effect remedial repairs. Prior to the arc over, three successful powered tests with a peak field strength slightly greater than 2 T were performed. Fabrication of the components for the subsonic diffuser and alignment of the generator channel sections on the channel cart were also completed in this period.
