Abstract
Calculations of the thermodynamic and electrical properties of dry com bustion plasma (DCP) produced by seeded combustion of a typical charco al CSC, show that its adiabatic flame temperature and electrical condu ctivity are remarkably higher than those of conventional plasmas from fossil fuels hitherto employed in experimental MHD generators. Both th ese properties are strongly dependent on the concentration of HxOy spe cies in the plasma. The results have been compared with data on the co nventional plasmas.
