Abstract :
The analysis is made for a constant-amplitude traveling magnetic field interacting with a constant-velocity fluid flowing in an annular channel. The expressions for input and output densities, electrical conversion efficiency, and generator phase impedance are given. The machine parameters and effects are included through the use of ac machinery concepts. The results are then compared with those for a generator having a rectangular channel.
