Liquid Metal based Cooling for Power Electronics Systems with Inductor Integrated Magnetohydrodynamic Pump (MHD Pump)

This paper proposes and demonstrates a liquid metal-based cooling system for power converters with an inductor integrated magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pump. The inductor in this case not only functions as the pump for liquid metal but also can be an essential part of typical power converters such as the output inductor of a buck converter. Two prototypes of liquid metal-based cooling systems were des...
