What do you mean by MHD (Magneto hydrodynamic generator)?

Definition of Magneto hydrodynamic generator (MHD): Magneto hydrodynamic generator (MHD) is a process for producing electricity by passing an ionized gas through a channel across which exists a magnetic field.                                                                        Figure: Schematic Diagram of a MHD Generator Working Principle of MHD: In a conventional generator a conductor is moved against a regarding force and this requires work input. MHD is an analogous to conventional generator but a conducting fluid instead of conductor is moved through a magnetic field than a current is induced in the fluid. The fluid becomes ioniz...
