ELECTRICAL AND PRESSURE LOSSES IN A MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC CHANNEL DUE TO END CURRENT LOOPS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4184280
The problem of end losses in a magnetohydrodynamic flow was studied for incompressible inviscid flow in a rectangular channel. Termination of the magnetic field at the ends of the electrodes lead to electrical losses which increase with decreasing aspect ratio of the electrode section of the channel. The losses are also increased with increasing values of the generator coefficient. These electrical losses can be corrected by extensions of the magnetic field beyond the electrode region, but these corrections adversely affect the net pressure change through the device. (auth)
