Explain the Working of Magneto Hydro Dynamic Generator with sketch.

Question 1 : Explain the Working of Magneto Hydro Dynamic Generator with sketch. Answer :  Magneto hydro dynamic generator also called MHD generator, the principle of MHD generator is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.  The MHD generator is a high efficiency heat engine that converts thermal energy into electrical energy.  According to Faraday's rules, when a conductor rotates in a magnetic field, a voltage is produced in it that produces an electric current.  MHD generator uses fluid as a solid conductor which is a conductor.  It can be a working liquid, ionized gas or a liquid metal.  When ionized gas flows through the magnetic field, a voltage is produced in it and this ionized gas behaves like an electric conductor.  The gas is used between 2000 ° -3000 ° K temperature.  This method of power generation does not contaminate the environment.  Installing an M.H.D power generator costs more than a conventional thermal...
