Abstract

Magneto-hydro-dynamic generators is a great application to measure the velocity and flow rate for the liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactors because the decrease of working fluid flow caused by the non-uniformity must be immediately identified to initiate reactor processes. There are many methods to examine the time response and the time constant of the eddy current loop generated in the liquid metal with inductance and resistance by means of the magnetic field. In this study, a specific estimation is carried out using the interaction of magnetic field considering the delay of process caused by the eddy current.
