Parametric analysis of space nuclear-MHD generator for gigawatt-level power
Description
This paper presents a closed-cycle space Nuclear-MHD plant providing GWe-level power output in the SPRINT mode at a power density of --1 kWe/kg. The power supply system consists of a nuclear gas core reactor, a contracting-expanding nozzle, and MHD generator and a diffuser, along with supporting systems. A mathematical model of the space Nuclear-MHD plant is developed and parametric feasibility and sensitivity analyses are provided
