Effect of nonuniform magnetic field on thermal performance of nanofluid flow in angled junction

Magnetohydrodynamic analysis of the nanofluid flow is extremely noteworthy in industrial applications. This study investigates the application of the nonhomogeny magnetic source on the migration of fluid with nanoparticles within the angled junction. In this work, Ferro particles are injected into the water flow to intensify the influence of the FHD on nanomaterial flow. To perform computational study on nanofluid in the junction, the FVM with SIMPLEC model was selected. According to our results, the existence of the nonhomogeny magnetic field produces the circulation in the vicinity of the junction and decreases the mineral sedimentation on the junction wall. In existence of two magnetic sources, Nu augments by 20% when the Reynolds number of nano flow is augmented from 50 to 100. When results of four sources of nonhomogeny FHD sources are compared with that of two magnetic sources, it is detected that the mean Nusselt number approximately increases 57 % inside the domain.

Automated summary

The study investigates the impact of nonhomogeny magnetic source on nanofluid flow within an angled junction, finding that the presence of nonhomogeny magnetic field leads to circulation near the junction and reduces mineral sedimentation. The research shows that with two magnetic sources, the Nusselt number increases by 20% as the Reynolds number of nanofluid flow increases from 50 to 100.
