Abstract
Temperature sensitive magnetic fluid (TSMF) has a kinetic characteristic of temperature dependence on magnetization in an applied magnetic field. In the present study, a binary magnetic fluid, which is a mixture of the TSMF and an organic secondary fluid, is utilized in a heat transport device to enhance its circulation. In order to verify the performance of the TSMF mixture in the heat transport device, the driving characteristic of this heat transport device with 45° inclination of the heating section is investigated both experimentally and numerically. Results showed that the driving force is enhanced greatly due to the magnetic field intensity increase and the effect of gas bubbles.
