Operating parameters were calculated for MHD generators operating at power densities in the channel of 500 MW/cu m and with power outputs of 30 - 35 MW (nominal). Liquid-fueled generators, using hydrocarbon fuels such as JP-4 or RP-1 and oxygen, and solid fuel generators were investigated. Designs of both liquid and solid fuel generators are described, and estimates of their weights and sizes are given. Operation of generators at power densities of 1000 MW/cu m was investigated. Assessments of feasibility and risks involved in achieving high power density operation are made. A development plan for construction of flightweight high power density MHD generator power supplies is presented.(Jensen)
