Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to give an overview of the basic fundamentals of electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, electric circuits, thermodynamics and heat transfer as they constitute the basis of engineering magnetohydrodynamics. This chapter provides a review of the basic equations needed in the engineering magnetohydrodynamics of liquid metals and plasmas in general and needed to understand how to design thermo-magnetic systems and the processes involved in liquid metal technology.
