Magnetohydrodynamic Generator of Pseudosound

Acoustical Physics, 2005
The theory of a periodic flow of a conducting magnetized liquid in the presence of an ac current passing through it is described. It is shown that the flow arising under these conditions is of pseudosound character rather than sonic, as stated in some publications.

Alternating Current Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Journal of Applied Physics, 1961
The design criteria of a proposed ac magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) generator are discussed. It is found that electrical losses to the moving fluid are serious unless the duct length-to-width ratio is greater than about 30. Two developments of such a generator are suggested.

PAMIR-3U magnetohydrodynamic generator results

Digest of Technical Papers. Tenth IEEE International Pulsed Power Conference, 1995
The Air Force's Phillips Laboratory has acquired a high power magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator for possible use with advanced weapons applications. This MHD generator is a PAMIR-3U, a modified Russian-built MHD generator that uses a modified rocket fuel to produce a DC electrical pulse of 100 MJ.

Open-Cycle Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generators

Journal of Propulsion and Power, 1999
Current status of open-cycle magnetohydrodynamic generator development is reviewed. Discussions focus primarily on generator channels designed for operation with coal-fired flows. Generator channel durability issues are reviewed. Channel gas-side design features capable of overcoming the lifetime limiting effects are described.

Impedance of a magnetohydrodynamic generator

British Journal of Applied Physics, 1965
The electrical impedance of a magnetohydrodynamic generator energized by shock-heated argon (Mach 14) has been measured as a function of electrode area and external impedance for applied magnetic field strengths from 100 to 10 000 G. It is found that the generator impedance is independent of electrode area over the experimental range of areas (0.02-1 ...

Plasma Diagnostics of Magnetohydrodynamic Generators

International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics, 1995
Average measurements of conductivities and Hall parameters in a Faraday-type Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator are presented. The measurement scheme is simple and requires no optical observations other than probes that provide two-dimensional voltage field measurements in the generator.

Large-scale magnetohydrodynamic power generation

British Journal of Applied Physics, 1963
The basic physical principles of magnetohydrodynamic generation are described and the electro-dynamics and thermodynamics discussed. The interaction is controlled by the plasma conductivity, which is low, and methods of increasing it are mentioned. The quasi-one-dimensional flow equations are presented and methods of solution outlined.

Magnetohydrodynamic Generators and Nuclear Propulsion

ARS Journal, 1962
Some of the more advanced possibilities for using the potential high temperature and high specific power capability of the magnetohydrodynamic generator in nuclear propulsion are discussed. Radiating and nonradiating closed cycles using liquid and gas core reactors are considered.
