Abstract
The present paper describes the performance of a radio-frequency (rf) electromagnetic-field-assisted magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) electrical power generator and compares it to a multiple-load MHD generator. rf heating which is superimposed on self-excited Joule heating preionizes cesium-seeded helium gas independent of the in situ loading conditions, whereby Hall potential profile is improved and electron temperature is increased. Furthermore, the dynamic stabilization effect cancels ionization instability and homogenizes plasma structure, which is the most important superiority of the rf-power assistance over a conventional plasma actuation by loading-rate control. The power-generating performance is significantly improved with the aid of the rf power under wide seeding and loading conditions, where the electrical load-matching characteristic is slightly changed.
