Abstract

Abstract:

Magnetic nanofluids as heat transfer media have great potential for being used in efficient and controllable energy transfer. In this paper, recent investigations on convective heat transfer and boiling heat transfer of magnetic nanofluids under an external magnetic field were reviewed and summarized. It was focused on the experimental studies including forced convection, mixed convection, natural convection, pool boiling and tube boiling. The effects of magnetic field type, intensity, gradient, frequency, direction and magnet position on flow and heat transfer of magnetic nanofluids were analyzed. It is pointed out that the flow and heat transfer process of magnetic nanofluids can be controlled by applying a magnetic field. The heat transfer mechanisms of magnetic nanofluids under flow-magnetic coupling field and the current challenges were also discussed. Furthermore, the future directions of studies on magnetic nanofluids in the field of controlling the convection and boiling heat transfer were prospected to preparing stable magnetic nanofluids, establishing scientific and effective theoretical models of flow and heat transfer, and interpreting heat-flow-magnetic coupling heat transfer mechanisms from the micro-mesoscopic scale.

Key words: magnetic nanofluids, magnetic field, convective heat transfer, boiling heat transfer, heat transfer mechanism
