Study on Power Generation Experiment Using the Ferriferous Oxide Magnetic Fluid

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, MHD is a high-efficiency and non-pollution technology. In Xiangtan University a power generation experimental set-up using the ferriferous oxide magnetic fluid in which we use the electrometer instead of external load to directly measure the electromotive force of the test magnetic fluid in the tube is established to investigate the relationship of the variables of the test fluid and the performance of the power generation. Based on the setup proposed by Hiroshi Yamaguchi in Japan, we create an experimental set-up using a new idea. Furthermore, the electromotive force and internal resistance which the magnetic fluid in the tube generates decrease with the temperature, and the electromotive force increases with the velocity of the magnetic fluid, in other words, it increases with the Reynolds number, which is in good agree with the theoretical analysis. We have also showed the image of the electromotive force, velocity and the temperature, which has helped to develop the power generation.
