Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

A theoretical model to analyse the performance characteristics of a magnetohydrodynamic generator (MHD) power plant is presented in this work. The internal irreversibilities as well as the external irreversibilities are taken into account in the analysis. General expressions for the power and efficiency are obtained when the MHD generator is operating at constant velocit condition. The results of the power output and the thermal efficiency of the MHD power plant are shown graphically.
