Abstract
The expected continued requirement for power from coal-fired baseload plants indicates a need for an efficient, relatively pollution-free system capable of operating on high-sulfur coals. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation offers the possibility of meeting these requirements with cycle efficiencies above 50 percent. This paper outlines the basic arguments for the conmercial application of coal-fired MHD baseload plants and describes the MHD High Performance Demonstration Experiment to be conducted at the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) by ARO, Inc., contract operator for AEDC.
