Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy conversion consists of electrical energy generation directly from high enthalpy of ionized gas. MHD generators are devices having a channel in which ionized gas (plasma) is blown, where a high magnetic field is present. The interaction between the conductive gas and the magnetic field makes the conversion. To describe and to design the MHD plants, circuital models of MHD generators are advantageous for an easier investigation approach to the interface between generators and power plants; they become extremely useful when a 3-D analysis is necessary for easier computation taking into account 3-D effects due to spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields. In this paper we describe some design applications of the three-dimensional (3-D) lumped parameter model for MHD generators.

Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy conversion consists of electrical energy generation directly from high enthalpy of ionized gas. MHD generators are devices having a channel in which ionized gas (plasma) is blown, where a high magnetic field is present. The interaction between the conductive gas and the magnetic field makes the conversion. To describe and to design the MHD plants, circuital models of MHD generators are advantageous for an easier investigation approach to the interface between generators and power plants; they become extremely useful when a 3-D analysis is necessary for easier computation taking into account 3-D effects due to spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields. In this paper we describe some design applications of the three-dimensional (3-D) lumped parameter model for MHD generators.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
