THEORY OF THE APPLICATION OF ELECTRICAL IONIZATION TO THE MHD POWER GENERATOR (in Japanese)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4721590
A method of increasing the ionization in MHD power generators by applying momentary electric fields to rare gases at 1000 to 2000 deg K seeded with low-ionization-potertial gases was investigated theoretically. It was found to be theoretically possible to design and construct such generators using the non-equilibrium ionization state that is created by the initial stage of the electric discharge in the short interval between initiation of electric field application to the seeded rare gases and ionizatton sataration.
