Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
magnetohydrodynamic MHD machine
a form of electric machine in which a stream of electrically conductive gas or liquid is passed through pairs of orthogonally positioned magnetic poles and electrodes. In an MHD generator, the fluid is forced by the prime mover to produce a DC across the electrodes. In the MHD motor, a current across the electrodes through the fluid forces the stream to flow.
