Tough tough question: Calculating magnetic Flux in water

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the change in magnetic flux produced by a cylindrical 1.61 tesla magnet spinning at 350 RPM in a cylindrical body of water. The water container measures 19 inches tall and 13.5 inches in diameter, with the magnet generating a vortex that narrows from 6 inches to 4 inches in diameter as it approaches the magnet. The primary goal is to determine the electromotive force (EMF) generated by this setup, noting that the water's relative magnetic permeability is 1, indicating it does not influence the magnetic flux or field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic flux and electromotive force (EMF)
  • Familiarity with cylindrical magnet properties and behavior
  • Knowledge of fluid dynamics, particularly vortex formation
  • Basic principles of magnetic permeability
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate the change in magnetic flux using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
  • Explore the effects of vortex dynamics on magnetic field interactions
  • Investigate the relationship between RPM and EMF generation in rotating magnetic fields
  • Study the implications of magnetic permeability in different fluids
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, electrical engineers, and anyone interested in electromagnetic theory and fluid dynamics, particularly in applications involving rotating magnetic fields and their effects on EMF generation.

Hey all, so i have a cylindrical 1.61 tesla magnet with pole orientations (+)_)- being spun at 350RPMs in a cylindrical body of water. The body of water dimensions are 19inches tall, and 13.5 diameter. The magnet is centered in the container of water.
Also, the magnet is spinning with a propeller on the top of it so it is generating a vortex. the vortex is approximately 6inches in diameter at the surface of the water, and at the point it reaches the magnet it is about 4inches in diameter. I am really trying to determine the change in magnetic flux that way i can determine how much EMF is being produced. :redface: So, if anyone can help me it would be really appreciated.

It doesn't matter whether the water is moving or stationary. Water has relative magnetic permeability = 1 so it has no effect on magnetic flux or field.
