Description
Offering both environmental and economic benefits, renewable and alternative energy sources are generating a great deal of interest as a new way forward for power engineering. This text concentrates upon magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) power generation. The MHD process involves the direct conversion of kinetic energy of a flowing fluid into electricity. It is the only conversion process using fossil fuels to generate bulk power. The author explains how the MHD generation process can improve power system efficiency. Covering electromagnetism, fluid mechanics and generator design, the text has been structured carefully with practical examples and self-assessment exercises to assist the reader's understanding.
