Abstract

This paper investigates the flow of water-based Fe3O4 ferrofluid flow and heat transfer due to rotating cone and disk under the influence of the external magnetic field. The similarity approach is used to transform the governing equations of ferrohydrodynamic flow into a set of nondimensional coupled differential equations. The nondimensional coupled differential equations are solved numerically through the finite element procedure. Effect of rotation of the disk, rotation of the cone, the intensity of the magnetic field, volume concentrations, and Prandtl number are analyzed on the velocity and temperature distributions. These effects are also observed on the skin friction coefficients and local heat transfer rate. The rotation of the disk, rotation of the cone, and the intensity of the magnetic field have a major impact on the velocity profiles, temperature profiles, skin friction coefficients, and local heat transfer rate.

Keywords: cone and disk; ferrofluid; heat transfer; magnetic field
