Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in engineering, this text introduces the concepts of plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics from a physical viewpoint. The first section of the three-part treatment deals mainly with the properties of ionized gases in magnetic and electric fields, essentially following the microscopic viewpoint. An introduction surveys the concepts of ionized gases and plasmas, together with a variety of magnetohydrodynamic regimes. A review of electromagnetic field theory follows, including motion of an individual charged particle and derivations of drift motions and adiabatic invariants. Additional topics include kinetic theory, derivation of electrical conductivity, development of statistical mechanics, radiation from plasma, and plasma wave motion. Part II addresses the macroscopic motion of electrically conducting compressible fluids: magnetohydrodynamic approximations; description of macroscopic fluid motions; magnetohydrodynamic channel flow; methods of estimating channel-flow behavior; and treatment of magnetohydrodynamic boundary layers. Part III draws upon the material developed in previous sections to explore applications of magnetohydrodynamics. The text concludes with a series of problems that reinforce the teachings of all three parts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetohydrodynamic Electrical Power Generation Hugo K. Messerle University of Sydney, Australia The global demand for energy continues to grow. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) conversion processes offer a highly efficient, clean and direct conversion of energy for power generation and propulsion. By converting the kinetic energy of a flowing fluid into electricity directly, MHD systems help address the problems of environmental pollution. At the same time MHD is particularly suitable for primary energy sources or fuels providing energy at temperatures extending far beyond those manageable by any conventional thermal conversion plant. It therefore offers a potentially more effective utilisation of fossil and nuclear fuels. The author covers all aspects of MHD power generation, including the design and operation of MHD conversion systems in practice. Features include: A comprehensive introduction to the principles behind the interaction of magnetic field and electric currents with electrically conducting fluids in the conversion of energy. Coverage of all aspects of generator configurations, as well as the disk generator, multi-phase converters, and propulsion systems. Study of the design for AC power generation, covering the control and power conditioning of the generator and the integration of such designs into existing power systems. Study of the use of MHD plant as part of a topping cycle combined with a steam and/or gas turbine or ternary cycle potentially leading to combined cycle efficiencies of up to 60%. Relevant worked examples in each chapter to assist the reader with self-study and the understanding of the topic. This text will appeal to advanced students in power engineering, physics and mechanics. Practising engineers and scientists is the field of power technology will find if an excellent practical reference and a basis for developing ideas on large scale MHD processes. Magnetohydrodynamic Electrical Power Generation forms a part of the Energy Engineering Learning Package. This innovative distance learning package has been established to train power engineers to meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges in this exciting field. Organised by a team of distinguished, international academics, the modular course is aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as power engineers working in industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall objectives of this program are the design, fabrication and delivery of test channels (nozzle, channel, diffuser, instrumentation and controls, and all necessary facility service connections) to the CDIF (Component Development and Integration Facility) for MHD generator tests. These CDIF test channels will be driven by a coal combustor which is under development at PERC in parallel with this program. Progress is reported on the following tasks: (1) Conduct basic engineering tests and perform necessary analytical work to define preferred design configurations of the CDIF channel in relation to fluid dynamics and electrodynamic performance. (2) Conduct basic engineering tests and perform necessary analytical work to define preferred electrode module design, side wall construction, wall materials, and fabrication methods for a high performance, durable MHD channel. (3) Conduct basic engineering tests and perform necessary analytical work to define instrumentation and controls and preferred inverter systems and/or channel electrical controls in relation to inverter requirements and operating stability. (4) Determine basic performance capability of the disk generator design under conditions simulating an open cycle MHD plasma. (5) Maintain continuous design and engineering liaison with the Pittsburgh Energy Research Center (PERC) in the development of the two stage CDIF coal combustor. Ensure design compatibility of the integrated combustor-generator system. Design, build, and deliver to PERC an instrumented test section to assist in the design and performance evaluation of the PERC subscale 5 MWt experimental combustor. Obtain quantitative chemical and physical data on relevant coal slags with the PERC experimental combustor. (6) Conduct necessary bench tests to establish essential design information on fluid dynamic, heat transfer, and current transfer characteristics of selected MHD coal slags.
