The paper focuses on modeling the DC magnetohydrodynamic pump using the analytical Equivalent Circuit Method completed by a metaheuristic approach to minimize the magnitude of the feed electric current. Additionally, the use of the multivariate regression method has enabled to estimate the MHD pump dimensions depending on the input parameters. The analysis has been performed for a large flow velocity range of both metallic liquids and leads to a simple proposal to reduce the feed electric current. Read full paper
