The subject of Magneto-hydrodynamic attracted the attention of many research workers in view of its applications to physics, medicine and engineering. The interest in these types of problems stems from the possibility of managing the thermal behaviour or to control the viscous property of the liquids. In this paper, an attempt has been made to present a review work achieved during the recent years worldwide and the state-of-the-art for most important efforts in the study of the phenomenon of the magnetic and electric field effect on liquid flow patterns and heat transfer through it Magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) covers phenomena in electrically conducting fluids, where the velocity field and the magnetic field are coupled. Due to its wide potential, magnetic field effects on flow and heat transfer in liquids and its applications, has been studied extensively. An important discussion for the wider public interest question about the main reasons of the magnetic field effects on flow and heat transfer in liquids is presented.
