Abstract

This paper is to conduct experimental investigation on the convective heat transfer of magnetic phase change microcapsule (MPCMC) suspension in the presence of an external non-homogenous magnetic field. The effects of the external magnetic field intensity, the volume fraction of MPCMC particles and the mass flow rate of MPCMC suspension on the convective heat transfer of MPCMC suspension are investigated. The experimental data reveal that the convective heat transfer of MPCMC suspension is significantly enhanced by the external non-homogenous magnetic field.
