Multiplicity of plasma structures in a nonequilibrium magnetohydrodynamic Generator
We present the structures of nonequilibrium-seeded plasmas in a closed-cycle magnetohydrodynamic generator. The features of cesium-seeded helium plasmas and cesium-seeded argon plasmas created in a swirl-flow mode operation are examined. The transition of the plasma-fluid structure controlled by seeding is closely coupled with the plasma stability and the flow configuration.Show More

Show MoreInvestigation of the Characteristics of MHD Power Generation by a Corona Jet Across a Magnetic Field
In a common magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation, the plasma is produced by equilibrium thermal ionization with working temperatures over 2000 K, and it is difficult to select wall materials that will withstand these high temperatures.

Pulsed Operation of a Combustion MHD Generator
Eighth IEEE International Conference on Pulsed Power
Year: 1991 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (2)
A combustion-driven MHD power generator has been operated in a repetitively pulsed mode for the first time. It is shown that rapid modulation of plasma conditions causes the MHD generator to act as a high-power switch. This technique was demonstrated in a self-excited circuit to produce a regular train of sharp megawatt power pulses. The rise and fall times achieved in these experiments can be red...

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy conversion consists of electrical energy generation directly from high enthalpy of ionized gas. MHD generators are devices having a channel in which ionized gas (plasma) is blown, where a high magnetic field is present. The interaction between the conductive gas and the magnetic field makes the conversion. To describe and to design the MHD plants, circuital models ...Show More

A time dependent two-dimensional numerical simulation has been carried out in order to clarify the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow behavior and performance of a disk MHD generator installed in a new closed-loop experimental facility at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

The change in the circuit inductance of a pulsed MHD generator as the plasma sheet travels along the electrodes acts to increase the voltage produced in the generator. The paper explains how unconventional electrode arrangements enable this effect to be significantly magnified, thereby bringing about a considerable increase in the output that can be obtained.<>Show More
