Channel Design Influence on Stability and Working Characteristics of Induction MHD Pump

  • Chapter
Transfer Phenomena in Magnetohydrodynamic and Electroconducting Flows

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications ((FMIA,volume 51))

Abstract

An induction magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pump based on the principle of creating an alternating traveling magnetic field by system of rotating permanent magnets has been designed for pumping of liquid Wood’s metal alloy through a vertical loop. The results of modeling experiments using eutectic alloy In-Ga-Sn showed that there is a good agreement between the estimated characteristics and the working parameters of real pump.
