The effect of magnetic field and nanofluid on thermal performance of two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT)

Abstract: The efficiency of two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) with nanofluid as working fluid under magnetic field effect was investigated experimentally. In this study, silver/water nanofluid with different concentration (20 to 80ppm) is tested. Also, magnetic field with various strength (0.12, 0.35 and 1.2 T) exerted to TPCT by permanent magnet. It was seen that the TPCT heat transfer performance and the thermophysical properties of the base fluid are considerably affected by the nanoparticles addition and magnetic… Show more

“…whereas the surface heat flux q w and surface shear stress τ w are given by q w = (∂T /∂y) y=0 (−k nf ) , τ w = ∂u ∂y y=0 µ nf (12) with k nf and µ nf being the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of the nanofluid, respectively. Using the similarity transformations (7) in equation ( 12) we get, in view of (11), as…”
