abstract
Eighty per cent of total electricity produced in the world ,is hydal,while remaining 20% is produced from nuclear,thermal,solar,geothermal energy & from magnato hydrodynamic (mhd) generators.
MHD power generation is a new system of electric power generation which is said to be of high efficiency and low pollution. In advanced countries MHD generators are widely used but in developing countries like India it is still under construction. This construction work is in progress at trichi in tamilnadu under joint efforts of BARC(Bhabha Atomic Research Centre) BHEl, Associated Cement Corporation (ACC) and Russian technologists.
As its name implies, magneto hydro dynamics(MHD) is concerned with the flow of a conducting fluid in the presence of magnetic and electric field. The fluid may be gas at elevated temperatures or liquid metals like sodium or potassium.
