이전에 개발된 Magnetic Fluid Linear Pump는 자기 회로가 솔레노이드 형식으로 자기회로의 대부분이 공극이기 때문에 자기저항이 크다. 이런 문제로 인해서 Linear Pump의 자성유체에 영향을 주는 자기장이 크지 않고 펌핑 압력은 높지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Permalloy Yoke를 이용하여 Linear Pump를 소형화하고 자기 저항을 최소화함으로써 펌핑 압력을 향상시켰다. 또한 Linear Pump의 3D해석을 통하여 Yoke의 폭, 두께, 간격에 대한 최적 크기를 계산하였다.

In the magnetic fluid linear pump, the pumping forces and pumping speed mainly depend on the current patterns. In this research, a new design to reduce the discontinuities of the pumping forces of the MFLP was studied. Continuous pumping of the newly designed MFLP by using AC current increases pumping efficiency and reduces the pumping force. Forming shapes of the magnetic fluid at the intermediate state were computed and compared to measurement. Since the back flow of the fluid is reduced remarkably, 4 yoke's AC driving is more efficient than 7 yoke's DC driving. The size, weight and pumping discontinuity are also reduced.

The pumping of coolant in a liquid metal fast reactor may be performed with an annular linear induction electro-magnetic (EM) pump. Linear induction pumps use a traveling magnetic field wave created by poly-phase currents, and the induced currents and their associated magnetic field generate a Lorentz force, whose effect can be the pumping of the liquid metal. The flow behaviors in the pump are very complex, including a time-varying Lorentz force and pressure pulsation, because an induction EM pump has time-varying magnetic fields and the induced convective currents that originate from the flow of the liquid metal. These phenomena lead to an instability problem in the pump arising from the changes of the generated Lorentz forces along the pump's geometry. Therefore, a magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD) analysis is required for the design and operation of a linear induction EM pump. We have developed a time-harmonic 2-dimensional axisymmetry MHD analysis method based on the Maxwell equations. This paper describes the analysis and numerical method for obtaining solutions for some MHD parameters in an induction EM pump. Experimental test results obtained from an induction EM pump of CLIP-150 at the STC "Sintez," D.V. Efremov Institute of Electro-physical Apparatus in St. Petersburg were used to validate the method. In addition, we investigated some characteristics of a linear induction EM pump, such as the effect of the convective current and the double supply frequency (DSF) pressure pulsation. This simple model overestimated the convective eddy current generated from the sodium flow in the pump channel; however, it had a similar tendency for the measured data of the pump performance through a comparison with the experimental data. Considering its simplicity, it could be a base model for designing an EM pump and for evaluating the MHD flow in an EM pump.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual field application of the linear piston pump for the solid transferring driven by the hydraulic power unit. In this paper, the numerical analysis and performance evaluating experiments were performed. CFX program has been used to obtain the solutions for the problems of three-dimensional, turbulent water flow in the linear piston pump. The velocity and the pressure distributions are obtained using the turbulent $k-\varepsilon$ model. To evaluate the performance of the linear piston pump, the performance test stand and data acquisition system were manufactured. The numerical predictions agree favorably with experimental results within 7% error. Speed of the piston which is satisfied the flow rate 3,000l/min which considers from basic design became 0.33m/s. This paper could be applied to the design of the linear piston pump for the fish transferring.

EM(ElectroMagnetic) pump is used for the purpose of transporting liquid sodium coolant with electrical conductivity in the LMR(Liquid Metal Reactor). In the present study, computer program for the pilot annular linear EM pump has been developed for the maximum flowrate with 200 l/min and maximum developing pressure with 3 bar. Firstly, Balance equation is induced by the equivalent circuit method which is commonly employed to analyze linear induction machines and the calculation of the hydraulic pressure drop. Then, design equation is converted to the computer program and optimum pump variables are determined by this code. The code is verified by the comparative analysis with the characteristic of the commercialized pump.

In this paper, the magnetic fluid linear pump is designed. Inside the small tube, magnetic fluid is shielded with thin rubber protector. The magnetic fluid activated by traveling pulses of magnetic field drags the water inside the pump. The iterative algorithm for the shape of magnetic fluid is presented by using nonlinear finite element method and Navier-Stokes equations. The computed curvature of fluid under the magnetic field and the gravitational force is agreed well with photograph image. The dimension and electric configurations of the magnetic linear pump are optimized and the results are compared with measurements.

In this study, the effects of the impeller shapes on the pump performances of the non-clogging and the screw-type centrifugal pumps are experimentally studied. The characteristics of total head, efficiency and power of the non-clogging pump increase as the number of vanes increases. The screw-type centrifugal pump with the linear-shape vane shows a little better performance than that of the screw-type centrifugal pump with the curved-shape vane. The differences in the characteristics of total head, efficiency and power are, however, insignificant. Therefore, it is advisable that, considering the convenience of pump manufacturing, the screw-type centrifugal pump with the linear-shape vane should be used. This study also compares the pump characteristics of the non-clogging pump and screw-type centrifugal pump. The characteristics of total head and efficiency of the non-clogging pump are better than those of the screw-type centrifugal pump. The screw-type centrifugal pump requires more shaft power than the non-clogging pump.

이 전에 DC Pulse 전류로 구동하는 Magnetic Fluid Linear Pump(MFLP)를 개발하였다. 개발된 MFLP는 DC Pulse 전류에 의하여 발생하는 자기장의 분포 변화가 불연속적이게 되고, 펌핑력 또한 불연속성을 가지게 된다. 불연속적 자기장의 변화와 펌핑력의 불균일성을 저감하였다. 펌핑력을 증가시키기 위하여 AC 전류를 이용하였으며, 이에 따른 펌프의 운전 특성을 파악하기 위하여 자기장의 분포와 자성유체의 형상을 해석하였다.
