UNSTEADY FLOW OF REAL CONDUCTING GAS IN A MHD CHANNEL WITH CONTINUOUS ELECTRODES.

This article investigates transient processes associated with the one-dimensional flow of a real gas with finite conductivity in linear and coaxial channels of varying cross section with continuous electrodes in thermodynamic equilibrium. In this case the system of equations representing the processes in the channel can be put in the form of two subsystems: a hyperbolic one, which can be solved by the method of characteritics, and an integrodifferential one. A general solution of the whole system is found by an iteration method.
