High Power MHD System - Facility Status and Magnet Test Results

Abstract

AEDC has been requested by the Aero Propulsion Laboratory to design, fabricate, and install facility hardware necessary to conduct tests to demonstrate the performance of high power MHD generator systems developed by AFWAL contractors. This report summarizes the AEDC effort since program inception, describes the facility under development, gives the status of each major facility component, and summarizes the results of the data acquired during magnet checkout tests. The report also describes the future effort required to make the facility a useful tool for MHD generator system and component development.
