The space-dependent plasma temperature in the boundary layer within the channel of an oil combustion MHD generator with externally-applied magnetic field installed at Hokkaido University was measured by a newly devised method using a light-polarization line-reversal technique. The measurement was performed at four hundred positions across the boundary layer during a period of 0.4 ms. The spatial distribution of temperature thus obtained indicated the 1/7- or 1/8-th power of temperature.
