Dairesel bir kanalda soğutma şartları altında MHD sıvı lityum akışın sayısal olarak incelenmesi

Bu çalışmada, lityum sıvısı dıştan manyetik alan indüksiyonuna maruz bırakılan üç boyutlu dairesel bir kanalda sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Manyetik alan, kanala akış yönüne dik olarak uygulanmıştır. Re=2250 ve manyetik alan kuvveti sırasıyla 0T, 0.04T, 0.08T ve 0.12T olarak seçilmiştir. Bunun yanında, akışkan sıcaklığı 473.15 K iken cidar sıcaklığı 373.15 K’dir. Hesaplamalar ANSYS-Fluent ticari yazılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Manyetik alanın akışkan hızı, basınç ve sıcaklık üzerindeki etkileri grafiksel olarak sunulmuştur. Manyetik alan etkisinin akışkan hızını azaltırken, basıncı arttırdığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, manyetik alan boru uzunluğu boyunca kanalın farklı bölgelerinde, sıcaklığı farklı şekilde etkilediği gözlemlenmiştir.

Numerically investigation of MHD liquid lithium flow under cooling conditions in a circular channel

In this study, the lithium fluid was numerically analyzed in a three-dimensional circular channel exposed to external magnetic field induction. The magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the flow direction of the channel. Re=2250 and the magnetic field strength was selected as 0T, 0.04T, 0.08T and 0.12T, respectively. Besides, while the fluid temperature is 473.15 K, the wall temperature is 373.15 K. Calculations were performed with ANSYS-Fluent commercial software. The effect of the magnetic field on the fluid velocity, pressure and temperature has presented graphically. While the magnetic field seriously has reduced the fluid velocity, the pressure has observed to increase. Also, it has been observed that the magnetic field affects the temperature differently in different regions of the channel along the pipe length.
