Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive charge parameters related to the efficiency and utility of explosive energy sources for pulsed magnetohydrodynamic energy conversion were investigated. Experimental measurements were made of theoretically signif icant charge geometry and composition parameters. Good agreement with theory was observed and exceptionally high plasma conductivity was measured. A cavity shape, (called the W cavity) tending to produce a tubular conductor, was conceived and charges designed with such a cav-had a power generation capability of over 300% higher than that of charges with con ventional cavities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental results are reported for peripherally initiated disc-shaped solid explosives. These produced a relative acceleration of the detonation wave near the charge axis. The results are compared with three approximate models. An energy model is compared with the more conventional pressure model. High pressure was induced in a portion of a long rectangular charge by shock. Rather high detonation wave propagation rates were observed in the shocked region. These rates were as high as nine times steady state if the maximum slope of the position-time result was used and as high as two times steady state velocity if the average rate over the approximate shocked region were used. The results are considered tentative. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary concepts of detonation theory are discussed primarily in the classical context. An illustration of the essential non-linearity of the equations is given. Several assumptions utilized in current theories are discussed and experiments designed to evaluate the validity of these are described. All discussion is from a continuum point of view. Information related to the use of explosives as energy sources for magnetohydrodynamic energy conversion is given. Instrumentation used in the experiments is discussed. (Author).

Download or read book Inductive Measurement of Plasma Jet Electrical Conductivity written by M. W. Turner and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurement of plasma jet electrical conductivity has utility in the development of explosively driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy converters as well as magnetic flux compression reaction chambers for nuclear/chemical pulse propulsion and power. Within these types of reactors, the physical parameter of critical importance to underlying MHD processes is the magnetic Reynolds number, the value of which depends upon the product of plasma electrical conductivity and velocity. Therefore, a thorough understanding of MHD phenomena at high magnetic Reynolds number is essential, and methods are needed for the accurate and reliable measurement of electrical conductivity in high-speed plasma jets. It is well known that direct measurements using electrodes suffer from large surface resistances, and an electrodeless technique is desired.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation of megagauss fields for science and technology is an exciting area at the extremes of parameter space, involving the application and controlled handling of extremely high power and energy densities in small volumes and on short time scales. New physical phenomena, technological challenges, and the selection and development of materials, together create a unique potential and synergy resulting in fascinating discoveries and achievements. This book is a collection of the contributions of an international conference, which assembled the leading scientists and engineers worldwide working on the generation and use of the strongest magnetic fields possible. Other research activities include generators that employ explosives to create ultra-high pulsed power for different applications, such as megavolt or radiation sources. Additional topics are the generation of plasmas and magnetized plasmas for fusion, imploding liners, rail guns, etc.
