Abstract
This study experimentally investigates the effects of magnetic field strength, Reynolds number, and nanoparticle concentration on the unsteady heat transfer characteristics of a Fe3O4-water nanofluid. The nanofluid was prepared by dispersing nanoparticles in water at concentrations of 0 %, 0.08% v/v and 0.16% v/v, using a stabilizer to maintain dispersion. A double-pipe system, encased in a copper coil (solenoid), was employed to facilitate heat exchange between tap water and the nanofluid under magnetic field. The solenoid exerts the desired magnetic field. The Taguchi method was utilized for experimental design and analysis. Results indicate that the Reynolds number, magnetic field strength, and nanofluid concentration all enhance the heat transfer rate; however, their effects differ due to distinct mechanisms of action. Analysis of variance reveals that the Reynolds number has the most significant impact although at low Reynolds only. This is while the effects of nanoparticle concentration and magnetic field strength are comparable. The findings suggest that even a magnetic field aligned with the fluid flow can serve as an auxiliary factor to enhance heat transfer in ferrofluids, particularly when increasing nanoparticle concentration is constrained by rising pressure drops and the risk of agglomeration.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
