The problem areas peculiar to closed-loop operation of an MHD generator were investigated. The closed-loop consists of essentially an MHD motor- generator set. The MHD motor circulates the gases within the closed-loop and the MHD generator abstracts some electrical energy from the flowing stream. The major advantage of the closed-loop is that it can be operated economically under steady long term operating conditions, thereby affording sufficient time for careful investigation of the state of the gas, the potential distribution, the current and power distribution, the leakage currents, the behavior of the sidewall and electrode materials, and the effects of operating parameters on performance of both the motor and generator sections.
