Numerical Study on the Effect of Anode Position on the Performance of Disk MHD Generator
The unsteady-state quasi-one-dimensional numerical simulations of the disk MHD generator have been conducted for various anode position. The results indicate that the non-equilibrium ionization instability of the plasma can be effectively suppressed by ...

Parameters affecting nitrogen oxides in a coal-fired flow facility system [PDF]
The unusually high temperature in the primary combustor of the Coal- Fired Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) power generation system causes much higher nitrogen oxides (NOx) to be produced than in a conventional coal fired generation system.
