Abstract :

In this numerical case study, thermal and hydrodynamic behavior of Ferro fluid (water + %2 Fe2O3) in two dimension channel in present of magnetic field has been study by single phase model and finite volume method. Magneto hydrodynamic effect and then impact of adding magnetic Nano and effect of non-uniform magnetic field on fluid has been study. channel’s wall are on constant temperature of 290 kelvin and main fluid inter the channel in 340 K. four magnetic dipole place along channel and the placed the fluid under magnetic field strength of 0.1,0.15,0.2,0.25 .impact of these magnetic field on velocity, pressure, heat transfer rate and Nusselt number studied and it showed very little impact heat transfer enhancement under magnetic field and can be negligible.
