Summary
The objective of this experimental research, started in late 1973, is to demonstrate the attainment of MHD performance on a sufficiently large scale and to verify that the projected efficiency of the commercial MHD concept is attainable. To perform the experiment, an existing facility at the Arnold Engineering Development Center (USAF) 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 expenditure of resources are the generator channel and the 6 Tesla (T) cryogenically cooled magnet. The generator fabrication is complete and the five sections are being connected and pressure tested on the channel cart. The magnet is approximately 98 percent complete, lacking only the outlet end thermal enclosure, manifolding hookup, and permanent attachment of the power leads. During the period between January 1, 1979 and March 31, 1979, considerable effort was devoted to the magnet assembly to permit progress concurrent with repairs necessitated by arc damage which occurred at the end of the previous quarter. An air conditioning system to control moisture condensation in the magnet bore, or on or within the generator channel when it is installed, was designed and is being procured. Final assembly of the subsonic diffuser was started.
