Salt Water: A Reliable Alternative as Conducting Fluid for Magneto-Hydro Dynamic Power Generation
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper the study of use of salt water as a conducting fluid, for electricity generation is presented. From the survey, it is found that the requirement of power will increase in next decade, hence the use of non-conventional energy will also be increased. In non-conventional energy systems, magneto-hydro dynamic (MHD) power generation system is one of the most reliable and lossless systems. The advantages of using MHD power generation in the system is to reduce on carbon and other emissions and to ensure the longevity of our fossil fuel reserve. Since salt water is available in abundance and there are very few applications in which salt water is used as compared to quantity of salt water available in ocean, use of salt water for electricity generation in MHD power generation system, will be most feasible solution. The aim of this paper is to study the viability of using salt water in MHD power generation system and the power output that can be obtained by using salt water as a conducting fluid. The possibility that the output can be varied by changing any of the three values combined with advantages like high efficiency and low pollution should make magneto-hydro dynamic power generation a promising alternative for generation of electricity.
