Abstract
The electric power generation in on-board MHD generator is considered under conditions of vehicle’s flight in Earth atmosphere. The physical and computational model of on-board MHD power generation is presented. It is shown that electric power of order of 18 – 20 MW (or ∼ 100 W/cm3) can be extracted in ordinary Faraday-type segmented MHD generator. This high level of electric power is achieved at magnetic field about 0.3 – 0.4 tesla and constitutes nearly 9.5% of total enthalpy flux. The main factor limiting the rise of extracted power is a stall of flow due to MHD deceleration.
