Introduces the reader to engineering magnetohydrodynamics
applications and presents a comprehensive guide of how to approach
different problems found in this multidisciplinary field. An
introduction to engineering magnetohydrodynamics, this brief
focuses heavily on the design of thermo-magnetic systems for liquid
metals, with emphasis on the design of electromagnetic annular
linear induction pumps for space nuclear reactors. Alloy systems
that are liquid at room temperature have a high degree of thermal
conductivity far superior to ordinary non-metallic liquids. This
results in their use for specific heat conducting and dissipation
applications. For example, liquid metal-cooled reactors are
typically very compact and can be used in space propulsion systems
and in fission reactors for planetary exploration. Computer aided
engineering (CAE), computational physics and mathematical methods
are introduced, as well as manufacturing and testing procedures. An
overview on space nuclear systems is also included. This brief is
an invaluable tool for design engineers and applied physicists as
well as to graduate students in nuclear and mechanical engineering
or in applied physics.
