Optimum design of thruster system for superconducting electromagnetic ship propulsion.

Author(s) : AKAGI S., FUJITA K., SOGA K.

Summary

Optimum designs of the configurations of thrusters are reviewed for three types of thruster systems and the one maximizing the propulsive efficiency is examined and evaluated. The results show that the inner ducting type has the highest propulsive efficiency, while the annular type is lowest. The pod mount type is ranked between these two. In general, the efficiency of a magnetohydrodynamic thruster sytem is very low compared with conventional propulsion system.
