Computational Analysis of a Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in a Manifold under a Uniform Magnetic Field

Numerical investigation into the vapor-liquid flow in the mixer of a liquid metal Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic system

“…This system is based on the extension of Faraday's law of induction to liquid metal and has superior thermodynamic cycle efficiency compared to conventional turbines. [1][2][3] Its thermal efficiency is very close to Carnot cycle efficiency as a result of continuous heating on the expanding vapor (known as the thermodynamic uid) by the liquid metal (known as the power generation uid) which acts as an innite heat source given its high thermal capacity. The vapor expansion can thus be regarded as isothermal, and consequently, contributes to high-efficiency conversion in LMMHD.…”
