Convection in Ferro-Nanofluids: Experiments and Theory: Physical Mechanisms, Flow Patterns, and Heat Transfer

This book covers the experimental and theoretical study of convection in non-isothermal ferro-nanofluids (FNFs). Since FNFs are not transparent and magnetic fields are very sensitive to the shape of the boundary between magnetic and nonmagnetic media, special flow visualization techniques based on the use of thermo-sensitive liquid crystal films, infrared cameras, as well as local and integral temperature sensors are discussed in the book.

This book considers several major configurations of...
