Measurement of Fluid Properties for Magnetoplasmadynamic Power Generators

Abstract

It gs found that at low field strengths the generator voltage is proportional to the magnetic field strength. With increasing field strength the voltage deviates from this proportionality and finally saturates. A possible explanation of this phenomena is presented. The definition of one of the generator operational problems will allow a logical attack on the imposed limitations. The closed loop research facility has undergone several modifications to improve the operational and control characteristics. The design of the generator for Phase II of the contract was initiated.
