The Faraday current flowing in a circumferential direction in a disk MHD generator was successfully measured using the Rogowski coil method. This fact allowed us to estimate the radial distributions of fluid and electrical properties, such as the gas flow velocity, Hall parameter, and electrical conductivity, from the experimental data. In this paper, a system for measuring the Faraday current measuring system and its calibration method are described in detail. As an example of the experimentally estimated properties, factors governing total pressure reduction along the radial direction are described. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 125(4): 19–25, 1998 |
