Analytical model of the electrical characteristics of linear MHD generators
Description
A two-dimensional electrical model of multi-electrode linear generators is presented. The electrode-wall boundary layers are included in the treatment, and an allowance can be made for the effects of electrode arcs and slag layers. The external electrical properties of the MHD channel flow are defined by a set of four resistance matrices. Analytical expressions for the matrix elements are given. The formulation allows a rapid, straightforward determination of a generator's electrical characteristics and is suitable for analyzing the electrical nonuniformities often observed in slagging channels. 26 references
