Effects of magnetic field on heat transfer coefficient in ferrofluid-based computer cooling systems

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the liquid cooling system of computer processors on nanomagnetic liquids by numerical simulation and experimental research of heat transfer processes in the object under study. The research presents the results of numerical simulations and experimental studies of the heat transfer process in a heat exchanger of a liquid cooling system of computer processors based on ferrofluids under the influence of a magnetic field. The effect of the magnetic field on the thermal resistance of the system and the heat-transfer coefficient of the wall-liquid at various magnetic field intensities was estimated. The numerical model of the heat transfer process in the processor-heat exchanger system was studied as well.
