Description

In the experiment of interaction of high temperature molten droplet and coolant, the releasing control of the molten droplet is vital for the whole experiment. Base on the mechanical control device in the previous experiments,an automatic device of the molten droplet is developed in this paper. The molten droplet is released when an instantaneous pulse from the automatic control circuit is delivered to the electromagnet. The improvement of releasing the molten droplet simplifies the experiment procedure, and advances the repeatability and the accuracy of the experiment. (authors)
