Comparative studies of the performance of closed cycle disk MHD generators using argon, helium and an argon-helium mixture are performed under the concept of fully ionized seed. Calculations show that either pure argon or pure helium is desirable as an inert gas in closed cycle MHD generators compared to the mixture of argon and helium and that a typical MHD channel for helium becomes compact. In typical disk generators, it is found that partial load operation with high efficiency can be established, and that fluctuations of the seed fraction are permitted within the limits of about ±3% and ±6% for the disk generator using argon and helium as inert gases, respectively. Furthermore, it is shown that a stable plasma can be maintained for a wide range of gas temperature by adjusting the seed fraction.
