Description: The book deals with incompressible flows of electrically conducting fluids in hydraulic components such as pipes, bends, expansions etc., exposed to strong magnetic fields. The main contents of the book results from engineering research associated with the design of liquid metal cooling systems for fusion reactors. Because of the fundamental approach to problems the book is well suited to serve as a guide for utilizing Magnetohydrodynamic means in other engineering disciplines such as in materials processing, metallurgical engineering and power engineering.
