CFD simulation and evaluation of controllable parameters effect on thermomagnetic convection in ferrofluids using Taguchi technique

Investigation of Single Phase Approximation and Mixture Model on Flow Behaviour and Heat Transfer of a Ferrofluid using CFD Simulation

“…In addition magnetic particles are transferring toward decreasing temperatures. This was proved numerically by authors [17].…”

“…To do simulations in this part, it is assumed that the magnetic fluid treats as a two phase mixture of magnetic particles in a carrier phase. The mixture model uses a single fluid approach, and is an intermediate between the single phase approximation and full set of equations governing the dynamics of multiphase flow [17]. Details of grids and obtained numerical results at saturation magnetization M s = 48 kA/m, magnetic particles' diameter d = 5.5 nm, and ∆T = ∆T critical = 25 K are shown in Table 34.1.…”

Numerical study of magnetic nanoparticles concentration in biofluid (blood) under influence of high gradient magnetic field

“…In this study, the RBC particles were evenly dispersed through the channel while blood viscosity was assumed to be constant. Jafari numerically investigated the effect of nanoparticles on heat transfer and flow field of a nanofluid (nanoparticles mixed with Kerosene) [2]. The study showed that the temperature gradient and geometry of the channel were the most important factors.…”

“…For instance, large particles size as well as strong magnetic field intensity may clog up the blood vessel while a weak magnetic field may not be able to deliver the drug to the tumor. Tzirtzilaksi numerically presented the effect of the magnetic field on red blood cells (RBC) inside a blood vessel [2]. In this study, the RBC particles were evenly dispersed through the channel while blood viscosity was assumed to be constant.…”

Effect of MFD Viscosity on the Onset of Ferromagnetic Fluid Layer Heated from Below and Cooled from Above with Constant Heat Flux

“…A variety of velocity and temperature boundary conditions on the onset of ferroconvection in an initially quiescent ferrofluid layer in the presence of a uniform magnetic field has been investigated recently [11]. Besides, studies have been made to understand the effect of different parameters on thermomagnetic convection of ferrofluids in a cylindrical geometry using the modern Taguchi technique [12] and heat transfer phenomena in a kerosene based ferrofluid in two cylinders with different dimensions using computation fluid dynamics technique [13]. Investigations have also been carried out to analyze magnetic convection of ferrofluids in enclosures [14]- [16].…”
