The MHD generator is examined as a converter of the gas kinetic energy to electric power. A number of modeling assumptions allow determination of maximum power removal with the highest efficiency, both of which must be large for the MHD generator to be a practical component of a high efficiency energy conversion system. This paper identifies the optimal flow conditions and allows determination of the fraction of the flow's total enthalpy which can be removed as electric power.
