A ceramic-based mechanical pump able to operate at record temperatures of more than 1,400 degrees Celsius (1,673 Kelvin) can transfer high temperature liquids such as molten tin, enabling a new ...

Moving molten metals may lead to new energy conversion and storage devices. A ceramic-based mechanical pump developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, with help from engineers at Purdue and ...

The pump was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in collaboration with researchers from Purdue University and Stanford University. The research was supported by the ...

A ceramic pump can handle the heat; careful engineering prevents it from cracking. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Stanford, and Purdue University have built a ceramic mechanical ...

Although liquid metals are effective fluids for heat transfer, pumping them at high temperatures is limited by their corrosiveness to solid metals. A clever pump design addresses this challenge using ...

A ceramic-based mechanical pump able to operate at record temperatures of more than 1,400 degrees Celsius (1,673 Kelvin) can transfer high temperature liquids such as molten tin, enabling a new ...

Liquid metal flowing at 1400 degrees Celsius in the laboratory of Asegun Henry at Georgia Tech. Even though all the surrounding materials are glowing, the tin remains reflective and the ripples from ...
