Investigation of jet type liquid metal MHD generator

V. V. Breev - K. I. Dmitriev - F. R. Ulinich

Abstract
Results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of a jet type MHD generator are discussed. The optimum efficiency of the generator is determined in the one-dimensional approximation. The optimum distribution of the magnetic field along the generator is found for different regimes. Some particular problems are solved numerically. Experiments are conducted for constant and linearly increasing magnetic field along the length of the generator. The limits of stable operation of a jet type generator are determined for both types of magnetic field.
