Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Experimental 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, MousaThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Visualization of Diffusion and Convection Heat Transport in a Square Cavity With Natural Convection(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Mobedi, Moghtada; Özkol, Ünver; Sunden, BengtIn this study, the total heatfunction equation which includes diffusion and convection transport is divided into the corresponding heatfunction equations. The superposition rule is used to obtain the mathematical definitions of diffusion and convection heatfunctions and corresponding boundary conditions. It is observed that the separate visualization of diffusion and convection heatlines provides significant information on understanding of the mechanism of heat transfer in a convective flow. The direction of the diffusion and convection heat transport as well as the strength of convection compared to the conduction in entire or in a portion of a domain can be visualized. The diffusion heatlines demonstrate a potential flow like behavior while convective heat flow rotates due to the source term of the convection heatfunction equation, similar to the rotation of fluid flow generated by fluid flow vorticity. The similarity between the streamfunction and the total heatfunction yields a concept of heat flow vorticity, Ωt. The obtained results show that the maximum absolute value of the convection heatfunction may be an appropriate parameter for determination of the convection strength. The diffusion and convection heatfunction equations for natural convection in a differentially heated square cavity for four different length of the heated surface on the right vertical wall as sp = L/4, L/2, 3L/4 and L and a fixed length of the cooled surface on the right vertical wall as L/4 are obtained and corresponding heatlines are drawn. The values of the conduction heatfunction are positive while the sign of convection heatfunction values is negative for the studied cases. Based on the distribution of total heatlines, two regions are detected in the cavity, an active region with the positive values of heatlines signifying dominant conduction heat transfer and a passive region with the negative heatfunction values in where convection heat flow is dominant and heat only rotates in a closed contour pattern. The variations of average Nusselt number, average of heat flow vorticity, maximum absolute values of convection heatfunction and streamfunction at different Rayleigh numbers and lengths of the heated surface are presented.Article Citation - WoS: 58Citation - Scopus: 73Measurement of Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient for a Horizontal Cylinder Rotating in Quiescent Air(Elsevier Ltd., 2000) Özerdem, BarışThe present paper deals with convective heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder rotating in quiescent air, experimentally. The average convective heat transfer coefficients have been measured by using radiation pyrometer, which offers a new method. According to the experimental results, a correlation in terms of the average Nusselt number and rotating Reynolds number has been established. The equation, Nū = 0.318 Re(r)0.571, has been found valid for a range of the rotating Reynolds number from 2000 to 40000. The average Nusselt number increased with an increase in the rotating speed. Comparison of the results, with the previous studies, have been showed a good agreement with each other.
