Description

The results of numerical and experimental studies of liquid metal heat transfer in slotted channels in a transverse magnetic field are presented. Test results showed an improvement in heat transfer in a straight channel at low and moderate interaction parameter, N. The Nusselt number at small N (around 120) was up to 2 times higher than in turbulent flow without a magnetic field, Peclet number being equal. This effect of heat transfer enhancement is caused by the generation and development of large scale velocity fluctuations in the near heated wall area. Qualitative and quantitative correlations between heat transfer and velocity fluctuation characteristics are presented
