    Experimental Assessment of Alternating Magnetic Fields for Subcooled Flow Boiling Enhancement in an Annulus
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Youzbashi-Zade, Saeed; Zonouzi, Sajjad Ahangar; Aminfar, Habib; Mohammadpourfard, Mousa
    The application of magnetic fields to enhance boiling heat transfer in magnetic nanofluids has emerged as a promising strategy for advanced thermal management, yet the influence of alternating magnetic fields remains largely unexplored compared to their constant counterparts. The effects of alternating and constant (steady) magnetic fields on the subcooled flow boiling of a ferrofluid in a vertically oriented annulus are thoroughly investigated experimentally in this work. The magnetic field generated by face-to-face electromagnets was systematically varied in strength (up to 0.3 T), frequency, and waveform (square, triangular, sinusoidal). The results demonstrate that magnetic fields under constant and alternating conditions substantially enhance local and average convective heat transfer coefficients and critical heat flux compared to the no-field baseline. Due to its ability to effectively disrupt the thermal boundary layer and improve bubble dynamics, the alternating square-wave magnetic field (0.3 T, 2 Hz) notably produces the greatest enhancement. Under this condition, the convective heat transfer coefficient increased by up to 21 %, and the critical heat flux improved by approximately 24 % compared to the no-field baseline. The enhancement strongly depends on mass flux and field frequency, with optimal frequencies shifting higher at increased flow rates due to shortened nanoparticle residence time in the magnetic region. At elevated mass fluxes, the benefit of alternating over constant fields diminishes as inertial effects become dominant.

    Experimental Optimization of Alternating Magnetic Field Parameters for Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement of Ferrofluid in a Vertical Annulus
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Youzbashi-Zade, Saeed; Aminfar, Habib; Mohammadpourfard, Mousa
    This study presents a detailed experimental investigation of how applying constant and alternating magnetic fields enhances the convective heat transfer of Fe3O4/water ferrofluid flowing through a vertical annulus. The setup was exposed to both constant (steady) and alternating magnetic fields with different waveforms (square, triangular, and sinusoidal), frequencies, intensities, and axial positions. Results showed that both steady and alternating fields substantially increased heat transfer within the active region, with the alternating field providing the highest enhancement. This improvement comes from stronger fluid movement under the oscillating field, which disrupts the thermal boundary layer more efficiently than the steady field. The maximum local heat transfer enhancement decreased from 54.98 % at Re = 200 to 29.43 % at Re = 1000, highlighting the reduced influence of magnetic forces at higher flow rates. The study also explored the influence of magnetic field initiation location, revealing that downstream activation yields higher peak local enhancement, while earlier activation ensures more uniform improvement along the annulus. Among the tested waveforms, the square wave resulted in the greatest convective enhancement, followed by triangular and sinusoidal forms. Results also revealed that, regardless of waveform, increasing frequency initially enhances the heat transfer coefficient, reaching an optimal value typically at 2-5 Hz depending on Reynolds number and waveform.

    Investigation of Flow and Heat Transfer Performance of Gyroid Structure as Porous Media
    (Turkish Soc Thermal Sciences Technology, 2024) Genc, Alper Mete; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan
    There are active and passive methods used to improve heat transfer. One of the passive methods is utilising porous media with high heat transfer surface area. Porous media are divided into two groups: regular and irregular structures. One of the regular structures is triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS), which have been studied quite frequently recently. In this study, heat transfer and flow analysis of a Gyroid geometry, one of the most used TPMS in the literature, is investigated numerically considering the conjugate heat transfer conditions. A single porosity is considered (epsilon = 0.6), and aluminium, ceramic and PLA are selected for the heat exchanger material to examine the temperature change in the heat exchanger. To understand the different flow characteristics, Reynolds numbers are assumed to be 19.12, 95.61 and 172.09. The fluid inlet temperature is assumed to be constant at 298.15 K, and the initial temperature of the heat exchanger is assumed to be constant at 278.15 K to be consistent with the regenerative heat recovery temperature difference in ventilation standards. Nusselt numbers under different operating conditions are compared, and it is the ceramic material with low thermal diffusivity is at the highest level despite its low thermal conductivity. At the highest Reynolds number, it provided approximately 6% better heat transfer than the aluminium heat exchanger.
