    This document discusses Magneto Hydro Dynamics (MHD) power generation. MHD is the interaction of electrically conducting fluids with magnetic fields. MHD power generation directly converts thermal or kinetic energy of ionized gases into electricity using electromagnetic induction. It consists of an MHD duct where ionized plasma flows through an intense magnetic field produced by electromagnets. Electrodes extract the generated electricity. While more efficient than traditional plants, MHD generators have higher capital costs and face material challenges from the high plasma temperatures. Overall, MHD power generation is an advanced technology for direct conversion of heat to electricity.

    Introduction
    ● Magneto Hydro Dynamics (MHD) or
    Magneto Fluid Dynamics is the academic
    discipline which studies the dynamics of
    electrically conducting fluid interacting
    with a magnetic field.
    ● Magneto Hydro Dynamics is a fluid theory
    which was initiated by Hannes Alfven, for
    which he has received the noble prize in
    physics in 1970.
    ● The word Magneto Hydro Dynamics is
    derived from magneto – meaning magnetic
    field, hydro – meaning liquid and dynamics
    meaning movement.
    Introduction
    ● The technological development in the field of
    plasma physics and metallurgy and other
    branches of science and technology has
    made it possible direct conversion of heat
    energy (thermal energy) into electrical
    energy.
    ● Magneto Hydro Dynamics (MHD) power
    generation is an advanced technology for
    generating electrical power by passing high
    temperature electrical conducting fluid
    through an intense magnetic field.
    MHD Power Generator
    ● In the MHD Generators, the generation of
    electrical power is carried out by using
    electrically conducting fluid as an
    electrical conductor.
    ● The MHD power generator converts
    thermal energy or kinetic energy of
    electrically conducting fluid directly into
    electrical energy.
    MHD Power Generator
    ● The energy
    conversion in the
    MHD Generators is
    based on the principle
    of faradays law of
    electromagnetic
    induction.
    ● Lorentz Force Law:
    F= Q.(V×B)
    MHD Power Generator
    ● A MHD generator consist of a MHD duct or
    channel through which the electrically
    conducting fluid flows, a system of
    electromagnets used to create the magnetic
    field and electrodes for drawing off electrical
    power with a load connected to them.
    ● The electrodes are sectionalized or segmented
    by insulator to decrease the circulation of hall
    effect current along the channel & through
    electrodes.
    Power Output & Efficiency
    ● Output power is proportional to the
    cross sectional area and the flow rate of
    the Ionized Plasma.
    ● Also proportional to the electrical
    conductivity of the working fluid.
    ● The typical efficiency of MHD Generators
    are around 10 to 20 percent mainly due
    to the heat lost through the high
    temperature exhaust of plasma gases.

    Advantages
    ● It has no moving parts so more reliable.
    ● Smaller size
    ● It can be used as peak load plant.
    ● There is no use of gas turbine and both the
    boiler and turbine and thus in the reduction of
    energy losses.
    ● Higher Efficiency
    ● Low Environmental Issues.
    ● As the same gas utilize in the thermal or gas
    power plant, it save energy resources.
    Disadvantages

    ● Capital cost of MHD Plant is higher than


    other power plants.
    ● Most of the problems are related to
    material problems caused by high
    temperature.
