Abstract :
This paper investigates the possibility to control through electromagnetic pumping the molten salts flow in high temperature heat transfer applications. Based on finite element models there were evaluated and compared parameters of multi-phase induction pumps with cylindrical, annular or flat pumping channels and of conduction pumps with ac or quasi-dc electric power supply.
