Abstract
An induction electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pump in axisymmetric, vertical configuration was designed and built. The flow rates were measured for various temperature profiles and several values of frequency, voltage, wavelength, and electric conductivity. The experimental data are generally in good agreement with the theoretical model presented in Part 1. With the present apparatus at relatively low voltages, velocities four times higher than natural circulation velocity are easily obtained. The external pressure load and entrance temperature profile play important roles on the operation of the pump and must be considered carefully in the design.
