A superconducting dipole magnet for the CFFF MHD facility at the University of Tennessee Space Institute
Abstract
The paper describes a superconducting dipole magnet for the CFFF MHD. The design of the MHD system consisting of the superconducting magnet, magnet cryostat, a helium refrigerator, and instrumentation are discussed, noting that the magnet will have an on-axis peak field of 6 T and an MHD channel warm aperture of 80 cm diameter at the MHD channel inlet. The conductor design, coil configurations, and coil structure are examined, and cryostability, magnetic forces, and design of bore tube, end flanges, and ring girder are described. Finally, the cryostat and cold mass support, and instrumentation for magnet protection and operation are analyzed.
