Abstract: The early thinking leading to the American Turbojet engine is reviewed. This included ideas pertaining to ramjets and rockets, and culminated in the axial flow turbojet engine concept. The role ...

Abstract: This paper indicates the levels of plant thermal efficiency that might be anticipated from three MHD systems (two burning char and oxygen, one burning char and air) featuring reaction of the ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the relative merits of various fuels for magnetohydrodynamic power systems in which the MHD generator operates on combustion products and is coupled with a steam plant or ...

Abstract: This paper is a report on the development of an experimental MHD electrical generator which derives its energy from the combustion of a liquid fuel and oxygen. The fuel burned is a number ...
