END LOSSES IN MAGNETHOHYDRODYNAMIC CHANNELS WITH TENSOR ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY AND SEGMENTED ELECTRODES

Abstract

End losses of an inviscid magnetohydrodynamic channel having tensor conductivity and segmented electrodes were calculat d for magnetohydrodynamic power generator of this geom try. It was fou d that the constant-current configuration is more efficient than the constant potential difference case. The efficiencies increase with increasing Hall effect, but constant magnitude extensions to the magnetic field have very littl eff c . (Au or
