  • Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

    Creator:
    Redle, Michael T.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

  • Optimization under Uncertainty of a Magnetohydrodynamics Generator

    Creator:
    Rajbhandari, Evan
    Abstract:
    Within this dissertation, we develop tools and techniques to demonstrate the feasibility of real-time optimization of a magnetohydrodynamics generator. To ease computational complexity, we work on the kinematic magnetohydrodynamic system, prescribing the fluid-flow and model the material response of the system through an updated Generalized Ohm’s law. We focus on...
