  • 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 of Power Output in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

    Creator:
    Redle, Michael
    Abstract:
    The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal energy plants could potentially allow a 30% increase of efficiency by transforming energy within the channels where exhaust flows. The MHD generator increases efficiency by transforming kinetic energy from the exhaust into electricity by generating a Faraday and Hall current, which...
