Hydromagnetic Propulsion System in Marine Applications: a Literature Review

Abstract

In this paper, the hydromagnetic propulsion system in marine application is taken into account. If the conduction fluid channel is exposed to a magnetic field and an electric field perpendicular to the fluid flow, under the interaction of electric current and magnetic field, a force is generated to flow the fluid, which is the basis of hydromagnetic propulsion systems. Hydromagnetic propulsion systems have a variety of applications which the most important ones are molten metal transfer system, small hydromagnetic pumps and marine propulsion system. Therefore, in this research, a literature review is performed and 70 valid scientific references in this field are studied and presented. Various classifications of the hydromagnetic thrust system are presented based on the installation location, type of electric field, type of fluid conducting channel, etc. The operating applications of hydromagnetic thrust systems are presented for all types of marine and submarine cargos. This paper can be a benchmark for future researches on hydromagnetic propulsion systems. model to describe the hydromagnetic thrust. The results showed that the efficiency of the system
