Bozhko A.A., Suslov S.A. Convection in Ferro-Nanofluids: Experiments and Theory: Physical Mechanisms, Flow Patterns, and Heat Transfer

Springer, 2018. — 279 p. — (Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics 40). — ISBN: 3319944266.This book is based on the results of experimental and theoretical studies of hydrodynamic stability and heat and mass transfer processes in ferrofluids that we have been involved with over the past several decades. The main motivation for such studies has been the growing interest in the use of magnetically ontrollable media as heat carriers in various thermal management systems. Along with other non-gravitational mechanisms capable of inducing the motion of initially quiescent fluid such as vibrational and electroconvection thermomagnetic convection can be used to enhance heat transfer in conditions where natural convection is impossible, for example, in microgravitation conditions. The experimental investigation that is reported in this book was conducted at Perm State University, Russia, under the license from the Russian State Corporation for Space Research (RosCosmos) and formed the ground-based component of a larger programme involving experiments on board autonomous and piloted spacecrafts, the orbital station “Mir” and the International Space Station. From a fundamental point of view the
book considers an intricate interaction of non-isothermal and electrically nonconducting magnetopolarisable fluid with gravitational and magnetic fields. In the absence of a magnetic field ferrofluids behave similarly to other nonmagnetic nanofluids, studies of which have been growing exponentially over the past two.Ferrofluids: Composition and Physical Processes
