| Abstract |
In the magnetic fluid linear pump, the pumping forces and pumping speed mainly depend on the current patterns. In this research, a new design to reduce the discontinuities of the pumping forces of the MFLP was studied. Continuous pumping of the newly designed MFLP by using AC current increases pumping efficiency and reduces the pumping force. Forming shapes of the magnetic fluid at the intermediate state were computed and compared to measurement. Since the back flow of the fluid is reduced remarkably, 4 yoke's AC driving is more efficient than 7 yoke's DC driving. The size, weight and pumping discontinuity are also reduced. |
