Summary

Progress on the ceramic heater development program for coal-fired MHD generators is summarized. Tasks include: (1) analytical studies of full scale heaters to evaluate fullscale directly and indirectly fired regenerative air heaters suitable for use in a 2000 MW/sub t/ combined MHD-steam power plant; (2) engineering design of heater test module to design a directly-fired air heater test module suitable for construction and testing under realistic, dynamic conditions expected in an MHD power generation system. The module is to be designed for flow rates of 5 to 10 kg/s and for an air outlet temperature in the range of 1700 to 1920 K; (3) design support tests to provide a basis for the analytical and design studies of (1) and (2), and to provide design, operational, and material data based on model experiments to optimize the geometry of bed components and to provide techniques to control seed and slag deposit buildup in the bed and connecting ducts; (4) liaison with materials testing and development activities to ensure maximum transfer and utilization of current materials testing and development technology.
