Description
Summary:A new type of working fluid to be used for boiling or multiphase heat transfer in microgravity conditions is proposed. The advantages of using a complex magnetizable fluid for boiling or multiphase heat transfer in microgravity are presented, based on the theoretical analysis of the body forces exerted by an applied magnetic field in such a fluid, in comparison with the similar phenomena determined by the body forces exerted by an applied electric field in a dielectric fluid. The experimental set-up designed to study the effect of the applied magnetic field on the bubble dynamics, to be proposed for a microgravity experiment, and currently in preparation for experimentation under terrestrial conditions, are presented.
