An investigation of MHD effects on Flibe simulant fluid (aqueous potassium hydroxide solution) flows has been conducted under the U.S.-Japan JUPITER-II collaboration program using "FLIHY" pipe flow facility at UCLA. Mean and fluctuating temperature profiles in a conducting wall pipe were measured for low Reynolds number turbulent flows using a thermocouples probe at constant heat flux condition. It is suggested that the temperature profiles are characterized by interaction between turbulence production, turbulence suppression due to magnetic field and thermal stratification occurred even under the situation where quite small temperature difference exists in the pipe cross-section.
