RESEARCH PROGRAM ON APPLICATION OF JET COMPRESSOR TO MAGNETOPLASMADYNAMIC ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION

Abstract

The objectives of this program are twofold: (1) to conduct an analysis and design study of a jet compressor based on a closed cycle in which the waste thermal energy available from an MPD system is transferred to a primary jet stream which compresses the MPD generator working medium; and (2) to design, fabricate and test a single stage jet compressor predicated on the results of the analysis and design study.
