    Magneto Hydrodynamic MHD Power Generation

    Uploaded by

    Dinesh Chahal
    This document discusses magneto hydro dynamic (MHD) power generation, which directly converts heat energy to electrical energy without mechanical energy conversion using electrically conducting fluids in a magnetic field. MHD power generation was first proposed in 1832 and the first MHD generator was built in 1959 in the US. There are two methods - open cycle systems which exhaust combustion gases and closed cycle systems which circulate a seeded inert gas or liquid metal. MHD generation has advantages like no moving parts but also challenges like requiring large, expensive magnets and operating at high temperatures.

    INTRODUCTION
    MHD power generation is a direct
    energy conversion,which converts
    the Heat Energy directly into
    Electrical Energy without any
    intermediate Mechanical Energy
    conversion.
    Magneto Hydro Dynamic (MHD) or
    Hydro dynamics is the Academic
    Discipline which studies the
    Dynamics of Electrically conducting
    fluids Ex: Plasma, Liquid metals and
    Salt water
    The Word MHD derived from
    Magneto-Magnetic Field,Hydro-Liquid
    and Dynamics-Movement
    The field of MHD was Proposed by
    Hannes Alfven for which he received 2
    the noble prize in Physics in 1970
    HISTORY OF MHD
    It was introduced by
    Michael Faraday in 1832
    in his Bakerian Lecture.
    He carried out a
    experiment at Waterloo
    Bridge in UK for
    measuring the current,
    from the flow of river
    Thames in Earths
    Magnetic Field.
    Over the years then the
    first MHD-Generator was
    built in 1959 in USA
    The first MHD power Plant
    was constructed in USSR
    in 1970 3
    PRINCIPLE
    Faradays Law of
    Electromagnetic Induction :
    When an electric conductor moves across
    a magnetic field, an emf is induced in it,
    which produces an electric current .

    ADVANTAGES
    No moving parts, so no mechanical losses.

    Overall Efficiency is about 50%.

    Large Amount of pollution free power is


    generated.

    Size of Plant is small compared to other Fossil fuel


    plants.

    Less overall generation cost.


    8
    DISADVANTAGES

    Very Large Magnets are needed, this is the major


    expense.

    High Friction and Heat Transfer losses.

    High operating temperature.

    Even though overall generation cost is less ,DC to


    AC Converters increase the cost of plant.

    APPLICATIONS

    Hypersonic Wind tunnel


    Experiments

    Defense application.

    CONCLUSION
    MHD Power Generation is a Direct
    Energy conversion system, which
    converts Heat Energy into Electrical
    Energy .By this generation technique
    large power is generated without
    pollution.
