Abstract

We investigate the operation of several MHD-devices in a liquid metallic sodium circuit. A common feature of these devises is the presence of a cylindrical channel, 68mm in diameter, and the interaction of the liquid sodium flow with the magnetic fields. The first device is the linear cylindrical MHD pump for pushing liquid sodium through the channel. The other device is the flow meter for measuring the flow rate of the liquid sodium. Particular attention is given to three methods of measuring the flow rate of liquid sodium - conductive and inductive methods and cross-correlation technique, which is based on the signals of low-inertia thermocouples. The paper presents the results of the experiments and numerical computation.
