MHD Energy Conversion.
Abstract
Theoretical and experimental investigations were made on a number of phenomena in magnetohydrodynamics that are pertinent in the combustion gas driven MHD generators. Different types of generators of diagonal conducting wall designs were studied and a number of different fuels and seed were used in these investigations. Both liquid and solid fuels were used in the experiments. Optical measurements were made to measure the relative temperature and absolute velocity of the plasma. Three-dimensional current distributions were measured along with analysis. (Modified author abstract)
