ABSTRACT
Magnetohydrodynamics
(MHD)
power
generation
process
is
basically
based
on the physics
background of space plasma MHD. Few decades before this
topic has been extensively investigated in the USA, former USSR, Japan,
India, China, Australia, Italy, Poland and Yugoslavia. But still needs more research
in this field to
have a more efficient MHD power plant. In this device plasma (Ionized
gas) is the working fluid similar to the mechanism that happening in
the magnetosphere of our Earth's atmosphere. Except here the process is
controlled and we increase the fluid density and pressure to get
maximum efficiency in the generating power. Most problem comes form the
low conductivity feature in the gas at high temperature.
Figure of plasma toy globe has same kind of gases which starts
conduct when high voltage is applied i.e, the fluid in side the globe
becomes plasma. In this
project the process involved in MHD power generation will be discussed
in detail.
