Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the research is to establish the basic grounds for the development of an environmentally clean MHD (magnetohydrodynamics) electrical power generation without any seed material (alkali metal), where a pure inert gas plasma is used as a working fluid. The seed-free inert gas plasma MHD electrical power generation has been successfully demonstrated in the experiments with shock-tunnel facility for the first time, by means of radio-frequency pre-ionization technique at the generator inlet. Furthermore, the quite high performance has been predicted reliably in the multi-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic plasma fluid flow numerical simulations. Consequently, the fruitful suggestion and the problem to be overcome in the future study have been accumulated, which surely contributes to further developments for the realization of the seed-free inert gas plasma MHD electrical power generation.
