Mather This volume consists of papers written for the Second Symposium on Engineer-ing Aspects of Magnetohydrodynamics, held at the University of Pennsylvania on March 9 and 10, 1961. These papers represent surveys of important recent advances plus significant original work in four areas flight applications, power generation, communications and diagnos-tics, and fusion. In recent years much of traditional classical physics has moved into the en-gineering realm. The execution of signifi-cant experiments in these new engineer-ing fields frequently requires pioneering design and construction of complex ap-paratus of very large size with an attend-ant expenditure of many millions of dol-lars. Such experiments must be faced if advances are to be made beyond the small-scale laboratory demonstration of principles. One significant prospect is the use of hot ionized gases (plasmas), accelerated to high velocity in MHD channels, for space propulsion. Another prospect on the immediate horizon, which appears economically promising if technically feasible, is the direct electrical generation of power through the use of MHD chan-nels energized by gas heated with com-mon fuels. The implication of this devel-opment to the electrical power industry is substantial. As the practicality of MHD devices develops, the need for better information about the hot plasmas they utilize be-comes more and more pressing. Con-tinued development of diagnostic de-vices, and of the theory upon which to interpret the data they provide, is re-quired. Perhaps not long range, but nonethe-less extremely interesting, is the possibil-ity of using the energy from a controlled Note de contenu : Part 1: Flight Applications Part 2: Power Conversion Part 3: Communications and Diagnostics Part 4: Fusion Appendixes Engineering aspects of magnetohydrodynamics : Proceedings of the second symposium on the engineering aspects of magnetohydrodynamics philadelphia, pennsylvania, march 9 and 10, 1961 [texte imprimé] / Mannal Clifford, Auteur ; W.Mather Norman, Auteur . - New York : Columbia university press, 1962 . - XIV, 578 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
