Features of Mixed Convection of Molten Salt in Magnetic Fields
This paper discusses the results of an experimental study and numerical simulation of a down flow of heat exchange of molten salt in a uniformly heated pipe under the action of a high transverse magnetic field. 30% solution of potassium hydroxide is employed as a molten salt simulator. The changes of heat transfer coefficients and statistical characteristics of temperature pulsations under the influence of a magnetic field are investigated. The features of the transition of a viscous-gravitational flow into a viscous- inertial-gravitational at Reynolds numbers (Re = 3000-7000) under the influence of a magnetic field (Hartman number Ha = 17) were studied.
