The influence of wall-jet gas injection on liquid-metal MHD generator performance
Abstract
Experiments concerning the effect of gas injection on the performance of a new diverging-channel liquid-metal MHD generator are discussed. The tests showed a gain in generator performance as the amount of gas injection was decreased. It was, therefore, decided to remove the injectors. It is pointed out that the experiments with the new diverging-channel generator without gas injection ports have yielded the best performance to date.
