Based on the general formula of the energy transfer rate from the solar wind into the magnetosphere, the coupling mechanism of MHD flow is examined by using solar wind data for a period of 34 days. It is shown that the MHD flow mechanism is valid when Bz is less than 0 (or IMF is southward). In this case the energy transfer rate can be expressed by an expression that is different from Akasofu's coupling function, but in good agreement with Murayama and Hakamada (1975), Svalgaard (1977), Murayama (1982), and Holzer and Slavin (1982). The factors influencing the calculations of coupling function are also discussed.
