Magnetohydrodynamic [MHD] generators

Introduced: January 1980

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Machines in which the dynamo-electric interaction between a plasma or flow of conductive liquid or of fluid-borne conductive or magnetic particles and a coil system or magnetic field converts energy of mass flow into electrical energy or > Magnetohydrodynamic [MHD] generators

CPC:

Machines in which the dynamo-electric interaction between a plasma or flow of conductive liquid or of fluid-borne conductive or magnetic particles and a coil system or magnetic field converts energy of mass flow into electrical energy or vice versa > Magnetohydrodynamic [MHD] generators

Of 5 combined children, 4 exist in both systems.

1 codes are CPC-only extensions.

IPC defines codes here since 1980.
