Plasma flow processes within magnetic nozzle configurations
An attempt is made to separate the interactive processes occurring in electromagnetic devices and to examine the acceleration of ionized gas within magnetic fields which can guide it through an expansion process. The plasma was generated in a single turn coil 50 cm long with a radius of 5.25 cm which surrounded a quartz tube with an internal radius of 3.81 cm and a length of 100 cm. Choking was found to occur at both sonic and cusp velocities which were coincident in the present experiment.
