MHD Pressure Drop of Liquid Metal Flow in Circular and Rectangular Ducts under Transverse Magnetic Field

  • Chapter
Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics

Part of the book series: Mechanics of Fluids and Transport Processes ((MFTP,volume 10))

Abstract

Simple formulas were derived to estimate the liquid metal MHD pressure drop in a cooling system for fusion use and good agreements were obtained with NaK and Li experiments in use of various SS ducts.
