Abstract
This work presents an experimental study of the effect of a magnetic field on laminar forced convection of a ferrofluid flowing in a tube filled with permeable material. The walls of the tube are subjected to a uniform heat flux and the permeable bed consists of uniform spheres of 3-mm diameter. The ferrofluid synthesis is based on reacting iron (II) and iron (III) in an aqueous ammonia solution to form magnetite, Fe3O4. The magnetite is mixed with aqueous tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, (CH3) 4NOH, solution. The dependency of the pressure drop on the volume fraction, and comparison of the pressure drop and the temperature distribution of the tube wall is studied. Also comparison of the...

Abstract
Enhancement of heat transfer is investigated in an experimental study of ferrofluid flow in a tube subjected to a constant and uniform heat flux on its wall, filled with permeable material under the effect of magnetic field. Effect of ferrofluid volume fraction, Reynolds number, and different frequencies of various magnetic field modes on heat transfer is examined by measuring the temperature on the wall. Using ferrofluid under the effect of magnetic field improves the heat transfer, and porous media makes the temperature distribution more uniform. Volumetric percentage of nano-particles has the greatest effect on the heat transfer
