Parametric Study of the Performance of a CDIF 1-B Coal-Fired MHD Generator (original) (raw)

1979

Abstract

ABSTRACT A comprehensive study is conducted into the analysis of a coal-fired Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) 1-B channel performance to simulate the characteristics of the reference Engineering Test Facility (ETF) channel. The performance criteria are established by careful review of the role played by the gas dynamic and electrical variables in determining channel behavior. On the basis of this review, a constant-velocity subsonic channel operating at nominal combustor pressure of 5.4 atm (0.54 MPa) is selected. The channel loading is selected to obtain a maximum Hall field of 2.4 kV/m and maximum transverse current density of 1.1 A/sq cm.
