Diagnostic techniques in combustion MHD flows
Abstract
The paper deals with an MHD facility designed for flexibility in research into the basic physics of MHD phenomena. The system employs a liquid fuel spray combustor stabilized by counter swirling injection of oxygen and nitrogen. The adaptation of the system to study the thermal efficiency of a combined MHD/steam plant is described. The particular diagnostic measurement needs for understanding and monitoring the performance of combustion MHD generator systems are outlined.
