| 摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing electrical power and for the simultaneous heating of fluid by means of a magnetohydrohynamic (MHD) generator. The method includes heating a mixture of liquid metal and a propelling liquid to provide a two-phase liquid metal-vapor flow, directing the two-phase liquid metal-vapor through a MHD-generator to generate electricity, condensing the vapor phase from the two-phase liquid metal-vapor to form liquid metal carrying propelling liquid droplets and recycling the metal and propelling liquid droplets to be reheated. The apparatus includes a closed duct system containing a mixture of liquid metal and a propelling liquid, a heater for heating the mixture in the closed system, a MHD-generator, located along the flow path of a two-phase liquid metal-vapor flow formed by the heated mixture, a condenser for condensing the two-phase flow to form a single-phase flow of metal liquid containing propelling liquid droplets and a pump to propel the single-phase flow to be reheated by the heating means.</p> |
