In this paper we describe the highest-performance closed-cycle magnetohydrodynamic (CCMHD)
power generator driven by a shock-tube. Despite the use of a small-scale device …

… Yoshihiro Okuno received the BE degree in electrical engineering from the Kyushu Institute
of Technology in 1982 and the ME and DE degrees in energy sciences from the Tokyo …

A closed cycle MHD (CCMHD) single power generation system without any conventional
gas turbine and steam turbine power generation systems is proposed as one possibility of …

This paper studies a three-scale computational method that simultaneously considers the
microstructure of heterogeneous materials, the macroscopic component, and the fracture …

We describe magnetohydrodynamic power generation experiments with seed-free high-temperature
inert gas plasma using a linear-shaped Faraday-type generator driven by a shock-…

The power generation characteristics of a disk-shaped magnetohydrodynamic generator
driven by rotating detonation with potassium-seeded hydrogen–air mixture are examined via …

To analyse the macroscopic and microscopic behaviours of heterogeneous materials and
components, a multi-scale computational method is studied. Although asymptotic …

We numerically assess the influence of non-uniform magnetic flux density and connected
load resistance on turbulent duct flows in a liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) …

Radio‐frequency discharges at various driving frequencies f in the range of 1.9–28 MHz are
observed, especially from the viewpoint of the sheath structure. The results reveal that for f≥…

In a seed-free inert-gas disk-shaped magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator, the effect of
the self-excited Joule heating in the nozzle region on the generator performance has been …
