Flow measurement of molten metals is a formidable task considering the hostile conditions. Many electromagnetic methods have been evolved for measurement of flow of conductive medium. The Lorenz force velocimetry is promising considering its non-intrusive nature. The Lorenz force velocimetry is an electromagnetic flow measurement method that is based on exposing molten metal flow to a static magnetic field, and indirectly measuring the braking force experienced by the static magnetic system by means of strain gauge. This braking force is proportional to the velocity of the flowing medium. In this paper, it will be dealt with design methodology of a model of Lorenz Force Flow meter for molten metal application in Compact High temperature Reactors.
