Linear and circular magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) micro-pumps that operate with electrolyte solutions were studied experimentally. Each pump consisted of a conduit with a square cross-section. The linear pump consisted of a straight conduit with its inlet and an outlet subjected to different pressures. The circular pump consisted of a conduit bent into a loop. Copper electrodes were aligned along the two opposite walls of the conduits. Experiments were carried out with various electrolyte solutions such as NaCl, FeCl2/FeCl3, and CuSO4 at various concentrations. The device was placed in a uniform magnetic field and a potential difference was applied across the electrodes. The resulting current interacted with the magnetic field to produce a Lorenz force that propelled the liquid. The electric current and the flow rate were measured as functions of the imposed potential difference across the electrodes, the electrolyte composition and concentration, and the adverse pressure head. The feasibility of using the closed-loop MHD pump to transfer heat from a heat source to a heat sink was also explored.

Experimental data are reported from studies of the reaction 4He(γ, pn)d through the use of the streamer chamber placed in the magnetic field and exposed to a linearly polarized photon beam from the electron linac LUE-2000. A structure has been revealed in the momentum distribution of deuterons. Studies were made into the effects of nucleon-deuteron correlation. The azimuthal distribution of reaction products and the asymmetry of proton production cross-section were measured. The obtained data were analyzed in the framework of the quasideuteron model.

We study the influence of the magnetic field intensity and direction with respect to the wave vector on the scattering cross-section resonances. We deduce the best experimental conditions for studying these resonances. It is shown that the spectrum modulation of the scattered wave can be used to measure, in some configurations, the confining magnetic field direction.

AbstractIt was shown by Zheleznyakov and Zlotnik (1980a, b) that in complex configurations of solar magnetic fields (in hot loops above the active centres, in neutral current sheets in the preflare phase, in hot X-ray kernels in the initial flare phase) a system of cyclotron lines in the spectrum of microwave radiation is likely to be formed. Such a line was obtained by Willson (1985) in the VLA observations at harmonics of the electron gyrofrequency. This communication interprets these observations on the basis of an active region model in which thermal cyclotron radiation is produced by hot plasma filling the magnetic tube in the corona above a group of spots. In this model the frequency of the recorded 1658 MHz line corresponds to the third harmonic of electron gyrofrequency, which yields the magnetic field (196 + 4) G along the magnetic tube axis. The linewidth Af/f ∼ 0.1 is determined by the 10% inhomogeneity of the magnetic field over the cross-section of the tube; the line profile indicates the kinetic temperature distribution of electrons over the tube cross-section with the maximum value 4 x 106 K. Analysis shows that study of cyclotron lines can serve as an efficient tool for diagnostics of magnetic fields and plasma in the solar active regions and flares.

When a diode thermionic tube, having cylindrical symmetry, is placed in a magnetic field parallel to its axis it is commonly called a magnetron. If there is a given potential difference between the anode and cathode of the tube, and if the magnetic field is steadily increased, a sharp and pronounced decrease of anode current occurs when the field reaches a certain value. It is easy to show that, if electrons leave without velocity from a cathode of radius b, they will just graze a concentric anode of radius a at potential V when the magnetic field H has the value given by

The feasibility of a 5 T magnet by using Bi-2223/Ag tapes at 30 K has been investigated. Preliminary computation demonstrates that the target is attainable by assembling 20 double pancakes manufactured by co-winding two Bi-2223/Ag tapes having overall cross-section of 0.25 × 3.5 mm 2 and 25% fill factor, being the expected operating current about 200 A. The pancakes located at the edges are the most critical because the component of the magnetic field orthogonal to the tape surface is large enough to strongly depress J c . To overcome this problem the edge pancakes could be fabricated by using Bi-2223/Ag tapes with new concept design (e.g. with oriented filaments).
