>The performance characteristics of small linear-induction electromagnetic pumps suitable for high-temperature liquid-metal test-loop operation were examined. Also, methods by which the performance of such pumps may be improved were investigated. The phenomenon of fluid wetting of the pump duct wall and the use of side bars provide powerful tools for improving the linear-induction-pump performance characteristics. Full advantage of the improved performance can be obtained if the hydraulic losses are minimized by using a pump section with large duct width, which also improves the power factor and decreases the phase current requirements of the pump.
