  2. Magnetic flow meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flow_meter

    A magnetic field is applied to the metering tube, which results in a potential difference proportional to the flow velocity perpendicular to the flux lines. The physical principle at work is electromagnetic induction. The magnetic flow meter requires a conducting fluid, for example, water that contains ions, and an electrical insulating pipe ...

  3. Magnetic water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_water_treatment

    A 1996 study by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory found no significant effect of magnetic water treatment on the formation of scale. As magnets affect water to a small degree, and water containing ions is more conductive than purer water, magnetic water treatment is an example of a valid scientific hypothesis that failed experimental ...

  4. Water metering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

    Water metering is the practice of measuring water use. Water meters measure the volume of water used by residential and commercial building units that are supplied with water by a public water supply system. They are also used to determine flow through a particular portion of the system.

  5. Magnetic Thermodynamic Systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Thermodynamic_Systems

    In order to incorporate magnetic systems into the first law of thermodynamics, it is necessary to formulate the concept of magnetic work. The magnetic contribution to the quasi-static work done by an arbitrary magnetic system is [1] = where is the magnetic field and is the magnetic flux density. [3]

  6. Magnetohydrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamics

    It is primarily concerned with the low-frequency, large-scale, magnetic behavior in plasmas and liquid metals and has applications in multiple fields including space physics, geophysics, astrophysics, and engineering. The word magneto­hydro­dynamics is derived from magneto-meaning magnetic field, hydro-meaning water, and dynamics meaning ...

  7. Lorentz force velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force_velocimetry

    The use of magnetic fields in flow measurement date back to the 19th century, when in 1832 Michael Faraday attempted to determine the velocity of the River Thames.Faraday applied a method in which a flow (the river flow) is exposed to a magnetic field (earth magnetic field) and the induced voltage is measured using two electrodes across the same flow.

  8. Electromagnetic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pump

    The current is fed through a conducting liquid. Two permanent magnets are arranged to produce a magnetic field B ap as shown in the figure. The supplied current has a current density (J) and the magnetic field associated with this current can be called "Reaction magnetic Field (b rc)". The two magnetic fields B ap and b rc attempt to align with ...

  9. Magnetorheological fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorheological_fluid

    In the absence of external pressure the maximum shear strength is about 100 kPa. If the fluid is compressed in the magnetic field direction and the compressive stress is 2 MPa, the shear strength is raised to 1100 kPa. [3] If the standard magnetic particles are replaced with elongated magnetic particles, the shear strength is also improved. [4]
