Harnessing ocean wave energy is an old challenge that has gained momentum in recent years. In this paper, we present the flow and electrical characterization of a prototype of an alternate liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator at a laborat...
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generators are direct energy conversion devices that transform the motion of an electrically conducting fluid into electricity through interaction with a magnetic field. Developed as an alternative to conventional turbine-ge...
In this paper, an electrical generator is presented for the exploitation of alternating energy. Some renewable sources are directly available in such forms, such as the wave power obtainable from the sea, but most of them can be converted to alternat...
Wave energy is a highly concentrated energy resource with five times higher energy density than wind and at least ten times the power density of solar energy. It is expected to make a major contribution to addressing climate change and to help end ou...
Reciprocating liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation is a new MHD power generation method in which the working fluid is a single-phase liquid metal with a low melting point and high conductivity. The internal combustion stroke of aut...
Liquid metal MHD (Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic) systems can be employed to produce electricity from a wide range of heat resources. In such a system, a low-boiling organic fluid and a high-temperature liquid metal fluid mix. The former evaporates, and carri...
This review focuses on the current state of the art in liquid metal additive manufacturing (AM), an emerging and growing family of related printing technologies used to fabricate near-net shape or fully free-standing metal objects. The various printi...
A liquid-metal based spiral magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) micropump is proposed in this work. The micropump was fabricated in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-glass hybrid microfluidic chip. This pump utilized two parallel liquid-metal-filled channels as el...
Natural convection of liquid metals under magnetic fields is a phenomenon of interest in various industrial and scientific applications, including fusion reactor blankets and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power systems. While the application of a magneti...
A magnetohydrodynamics solver (“mhdCompressibleInterFoam”) has been developed for a compressible two-phase flow with a free surface by extending “compressibleInterFoam” solver within OpenFOAM suite. The primary goal is to deve...
