Regarding a design problem of a closed cycle MHD generator as a shape optimization problem, the author attempts to design a generator by using the direct search method. It is shown that the generator design is possible by adopting sready state quasi-one-dimensional equations as an evaluation method, and by using genetic algorithms as a search method. As a result, the possibility of generator design by means of two- or three-dimentional calculations, which have been developed up to now, is suggested.
