A Novel Hybrid Model for Annular Linear Induction Pump

Abstract

Annular linear induction pump(ALIP) shows great potential in transport liquid metal in nuclear powersystem. A novel hybrid model for ALIP is proposed. The magnetic network is introduced to deal withiron core saturation and slot shape effects. Analysis model is introduced to deal with the axial magneticflux. Correction factors are introduced to deal with the end effect. Furthermore, a small-scale ALIPwas designed and manufactured. The proposed hybrid model, the finite element method(FEM) and theexperiments result show high consistence.
