WOUND-ROTOR ELECTROMAGNETIC PUMP FOR NaK

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4108766
OTS. Design sheets were prepared for an electromagnetic wound-rotor pump developing 4 psi at 13 gpm pumping 1000 gas-cooled F NaK. Computations showed an efficiency of 2.8% and a weight of 7l lb. The design sheets describe the method of designing this type of pump and calculation of pump performance. (W.D.M.) 4O86 Numerical solutions of the quasi-steady state Reynolds equation are presented for finite-length gas-lubricated cylindrical journal bearings under dynamic loading (in which the journal center rotates and translates). Employing stationary and rotating coordinate systems, correspondence relations are established for the derivatives of force with respect to displacement and velocity using firstorder perturbation solutions. Comparison of the iterative and first-order perturbation solutions is made. The results are present in dimensionlessn form. (auth)
