Summary
Under Task 1, analytical studies of full scale heaters (for use in 2000 MWt combined MHD-steam power plant), the sizing/cost estimating program, was run, and results were generated which show how system cost depends on design and operating parameters. The code for describing seed/slag deposition in heaters is nearly complete. The code for describing overall system performance is complete except for incorporation of the effects of the pressure field. Under Task 2, engineering design of a heater test module, a cost estimate for a heater test module was developed. The determination of the size of this module was based on a reasonable scale-up from the current test rig and through consideration of the cost of the facility. Design will be started in early 1977; a schedule for this work has been prepared. Under Task 3, design supports tasks, several screening tests were performed along with other tests preparatory to long bed testing. A plan was also prepared for modifying the laboratory building to accommodate the lengthened test bed. The building modification should be completed by mid February 1977. Plans for lengthening the test rig and conducting longer term tests were also prepared. Analytical test results were received from outside laboratories and were also generated internally. SEM/EDAX studies, including x-ray mapping, have been used to elucidate corrosion mechanisms in some refractories.
