magnetohydrodynamic power generator Comparison of the operating principles of (A) a turbogenerator and (B) an MHD generator.

In a coal-fired magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power plant, nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced through the careful design of the boiler and the implementation of specific combustion controls. By precisely managing these systems, operators can achieve low levels of nitrogen oxide output during the power generation process.1
