Eulerian–Eulerian simulation of non-uniform magnetic field effects on the ferrofluid nucleate pool boiling

Abstract

The nucleate pool boiling heat transfer of ferrofluid on a horizontal plate in the presence of a non-uniform magnetic field has been studied numerically using Eulerian–Eulerian approach. Also, the wall partitioning model was extended to consider the boiling surface modification by the nanoparticles deposition on the heated surface. Adding nanoparticles causes deterioration in the boiling heat transfer coefficient and void fraction. Moreover, applying the magnetic field intensifies these reductions.
