Abstract
The present work reports a CFD study of the magneto-convection of a ferrofluid (Fe3O4/water) circulating in a mini-channel under the influence of different vortex generators (fins and permanent magnets). The lower surface of the mini-channel is maintained at a constant temperature, while the upper surface is thermally insulated. The influence of fins, magnetic field intensity, and Reynolds number on the thermal and dynamic characteristics of the flow was numerically investigated using the finite volume method. The obtained results show that the coexistence of these two types of vortex generators considerably affects the flow structure; Entropy generation and heat transfer rate. Finally, the analysis of the different results shows that the concurrent presence of both the magnetic field and the fins results in a notably more efficient system. Using magnetic sources and fins simultaneously in a system with an intense magnetic field and a low Reynolds number can lead to a large gain in heat transfer.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics (JAFM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal which covers a wide range of theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on the applications in different engineering fields rather than on pure mathematical or physical aspects in fluid mechanics. Although many high quality journals pertaining to different aspects of fluid mechanics presently exist, research in the field is rapidly escalating. The motivation for this new fluid mechanics journal is driven by the following points: (1) there is a need to have an e-journal accessible to all fluid mechanics researchers, (2) scientists from third- world countries need a venue that does not incur publication costs, (3) quality papers deserve rapid and fast publication through an efficient peer review process, and (4) an outlet is needed for rapid dissemination of fluid mechanics conferences held in Asian countries. Pertaining to this latter point, there presently exist some excellent conferences devoted to the promotion of fluid mechanics in the region such as the Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics which began in 1980 and nominally takes place in one of the Asian countries every two years. We hope that the proposed journal provides and additional impetus for promoting applied fluids research and associated activities in this continent. The journal is under the umbrella of the Physics Society of Iran with the collaboration of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) .
