Zusammenfassung:An experimental rig has been set up to study the processes taking place in the duct of an open-cycle MHD generator. The installation consists of a combustion chamber unit in which natural gas is oxidized in an air atmosphere enriched with oxygen (to pure O2) with ionizing seeds of different types. The pressure in the duct can go up to 50 atm and the temperature to 3500K. Both the oxygen and the gas are collected in containers of 14 and 3.5 tons capacity, respectively. As the combustion products pass into the duct, the nozzle system can vary the Mach number from subsonic to approximately 3. The duct has a rectangular cross-section.
