Garrison,G. W., Brogan,T. R., Schmidt,H. J., Nolan,J. J.
The successful application of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for commercial, coal-fired, base-load power generation requires that the generator have an energy extraction ratio of approximately 0.20 with...
A REVIEW OF RECENT MHD GENERATOR WORK AT THE AVCO-EVERETT RESEARCH LABORATORY (2004)
BROGAN, T. R., LOUIS, J. F., Rosa, R. J., Stekly, Z. J.
Conceptual plant design, electrical properties of gases, generator fluid mechanics and performance, field coil designs, and long duration testing are reviewed. In the area of gas properties, the...
Pulsed Magnetohydrodynamic Program. (2002)
Bangerter,C. D., Hopkins,B. D., Brogan,T. R.
The goals of the program were twofold: (1) To develop the technical base to allow for the design and construction of lightweight, multimegawatt deflagrating solid explosive driven MHD (C-MHD) and,...
Research Studies and the Development of MHD Generators and Accelerators (2001)
Teno, J., Brogan, T. R., Petty, S. W.
The report presents the results of the LORHO Pilot Program undertaken to evaluate the potentiality of MHD generator-accelerator units for hypersonic wind tunnel drive. Basic features of matched MHD...
Explosive Magnetohydrodynamic Program. (1998)
Bangerter,C. D., West,L. R., Brogan,T. R., Sheldon,D. B., Stekly,Z. J. J.
The report is basically an analytic study with the addition of design and experimental data required to augment the study. The analysis presented is conclusive in its finding that the X-MHD is a...
