SPECIFIC FEATURES OF NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER IN MAGNETIC FLUIDS
Аннотация
The results are presented of the numerical and experimental study of laminar heat convection in a vertical circular magnetic fluid layer on a cylindrical energized cable. Specific features of heat transfer in the presence of simultaneous gravitational and magnetic forces are investigated. A simple criterial equation is obtained for heat transfer across the fluid layer when only thermomagnetic convection takes place. Validity of the prediction technique is confirmed experimentally.
