Abstract

The present study reports the experimental and numerical investigation of potential application of ferrofluid as a coolant for mini/microdevices. The kerosene-based ferrofluid was allowed to flow through a closed loop under the effect of a magnetic field generated by permanent magnet. Constant heat flux conditions varying from 0 to 10 W were applied and the temperature was measured using infrared thermography. The results of the simulation study were validated by performing experiments under the same test conditions, and a good agreement was found between the experimental observations and numerical results. Velocity and temperature profiles were plotted for the given heat load range, strengthening the candidature of ferrofluid as a potential coolant for mini/microdevices.
