Effect of Magnetic Baffles and Magnetic Nanofluid on Thermo-Hydraulic Characteristics of Dimple Mini Channel for Thermal Energy Applications by Souayeh, Basma

“…This clearly shows that the two sources at the front have a higher increment in the Nusselt numbers compared to one source, due to higher turbulence. In addition, there is a decrease in the pressure drop of 10.82%, 16.778%, and 26.75% when magnetic fields of 1200 G, 1500 G, and 2000 G, respectively, are applied at x = 15 mm, as compared to flow without magnetic field when the pitch = 10 mm. …”
