Abstract
A numerical experiment in a plasma vane (current carrying plasma nonuniformity) MHD generator is presented. The numerical calculations are based on a time-dependent two-dimensional model. The gas constituting the plasma is assumed to be ideal. Viscosity and heat losses are neglected. In order to optimize the generator performance, a parametric analysis is carried out. The results of the calculations indicate that enthalpy extractions larger than 30% can be obtained
