Thermohydraulic applications of liquid metals in the non-nuclear field
Abstract
Liquid metal applications in power generation (solar and conventional), magnetohydrodynamics, heat pipes, metallurgy, nuclear fusion, and heat storage are summarized. Liquid metal properties are outlined, and the metals are compared with competing fluids.
