INVESTIGATION OF A LARGE SCALE NON-EQUILIBRIUM MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC GENERATOR.
Abstract
A large portion of the effort of the present contract year was devoted to 'technology problems,' namely, the development of a satisfactory cesium seeding technique, the development of the thermionically emitting electrodes compatible with the shock tube MHD generator, the design of a large MHD magnet, the design of a new MHD channel, and the development of additional diagnostic techniques. A considerable number of MHD experiments with cesium seeded, noble gases were performed. An analytical study of power optimization in linear MHD generators was undertaken. A study of the effect of molecular gases on the generator performance was undertaken.
