Abstract
MOST of the reported experimental work on magnetohydrodynamic generation using hydrocarbon and other flames has been of limited duration owing to the difficulties in providing duct and electrode materials. These must withstand very high temperature (around 2,500° C), high velocity (near sonic), corrosive (a percentage or more of potassium seeding) gas conditions.
