| Research Abstract |
There has been little theoretical work on the mechanism of a seawater-oil separator based on magnetohydrodynamic(MHD), which has constricted the development of the device. In this work, we proposed the multi-ion transport model in a magnetic field assuming that seawater is of electrolytic solution. We have carried out numerical calculation of the model to clarify how the device works in the magnetic field. Moreover, we have constructed the test plant with the device, and experimentally have confirmed the numerical model. From the results, we have proposed means for improvement of the device.
