Review of manufacturing for MHD systems

This report will review MHD-enabling technologies, including the current state-of-the-art in HTS materials and products (e.g. tapes, coils and stacks for the manufacture of electromagnets), cryogenic cooling materials and technologies (e.g. cooling circuits, cryopumps, turbo Brayton cycle, circulation systems, insulation materials, other associated subsystems), ablative and hybrid thermal protection systems (TPS), ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and active cooling systems.
