STEAM GENERATING MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC DIFFUSER

摘要

STEAM GENERATING MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC DIFFUSER A steam generating diffuser comprising a plurality of heat exchange tubes arranged to form a horizontally disposed, longitudinally elongated open-ended divergent duct. A refractory lining is laid up around the inner surface of the divergent duct so as to protect the heat exchange tubes. The inlet of each heat exchange tube is connected to a lower water distribution header disposed beneath the duct and the outlet of each heat exchange tube is connected to an upper steam and water distribution header disposed above the duct. Each tube provides a fluid flow path between the tower and upper headers which is continuously upwardly directed.
