Modeling of the periodic operating state of an MHD generator with a current dryer
The problem of numerical modeling of the nonstationary gasdynamic interaction of a series of current layers with the flow of the working body in the channel of an MHD generator is solved. The coefficient of conversion of enthalpy into electrical energy and the internal efficiency of the generator are determined for steady periodic states. The dependence of the characteristics of the current layer on the basic parameters of the MHD generator is determined: magnetic field induction, channel geometry, external load, and stagnation pressure at the inlet. It is demonstrated that there exists an optimal number of current layers simultaneously operating in the MHD channel. The working body of the MHD generator consisted of air and the combustion products of organic fuel.
