Abstract
An MHD generator having a uniform rectangular duct is analyzed for a three-dimensional flow. Expressions in closed form are obtained for the fluid velocity, induced electromagnetic fields, open-circuit voltage, power output, power input, efficiency, etc. These quantities are computed for typical values of dimensions, temperature, and velocity at the center of the generator.
