Heat Transfer in Boiling Magnetic Fluid in a Magnetic Field

Abstract

In the present work we report the investigation of heat exchange processes at stationary boiling regime of magnetic fluid on a horizontal surface under magnetic field H ≤ 4.2 kA/m. In the presence of uniform magnetic field the specific thermal flow arriving to boiling magnetic fluid increases by 1.5 - 2 times. We offer the mechanism of magnetic field influence on heat exchange intensity in boiling magnetic fluid. The volume, shape and contact area of steam bubbles in horizontal heating surface in magnetic field is studied. The equation, connecting a specific thermal flow, magnetic field gradient and magnetic fluid magnetization in bubble boiling regime of magnetic fluid is written.
