A combined turbine-MHD generator operating in a Brayton cycle with a NERVA nuclear reactor is considered, both for use in space and on the ground. The combined system is compared with an all-MHD Brayton system and an all-turbine system. The combined cycle systems have higher thermodynamic efficiencies than the other systems. The combined system with 1500 K turbine inlet and the all-MHD system with generator efficiency of 0.8 have the lowest specific recuperator plus radiator mass of those systems considered. But the combined system considered has an average radiator temperature of 200 to 250 K lower than the other. For ground use, a cycle efficiency of greater than 0.55 can be achieved.

Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology, Volume 5 presents the underlying principles and theory, as well as the practical applications of the advances in the nuclear field. This book reviews the specialized applications to such fields as space propulsion. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the design and objective of the Fast Flux Test Facility to provide fast flux irradiation testing facilities. This text then examines the problem in the design of nuclear reactors, which is the analysis of the spatial and temporal behavior of the neutron and temperature distributions within the system. Other chapters consider the three major ways of estimating shield effectiveness. This book discusses as well the purpose of variational principle, which is a characterization of a function as the stationary point of an appropriate functional. The final chapter deals with the solution of the Boltzmann transport equation. This book is a valuable resource for engineers.
