MHD Heat and Seed Recovery Technology Project. Fifth Quarterly Report, January--March 1979

摘要

The MHD Heat and Seed Recovery Technology Project at Argonne National Laboratory is obtaining information pertinent to the design and operation of the heat and seed recovery systems downstream of the channel-diffuser and to the seed regeneration processes. The project goal is to supply the engineering data required in the design of components for prototype and demonstration MHD facilities. The present project activities include: (1) assistance to and cooperation with other MHD programs including the Heat Recovery-Seed Recovery facility; (2) studies of the thermochemistry of seed-slag systems; (3) investigations of ceramic and metallic materials for service in the downstream gas systems; (4) small-scale engineering studies of seed-slag deposition; (5) operation of a 2-MW experimental facility for investigations pertaining to the downstream gas system; and (6) evaluation of seed regeneration processes.
