Description
Summary:Herein a magnetic actuation strategy is proposed to manipulate magnetic nanofluids in CPU thermal management applications. The proposed concept consists of a multi-circular microchannel unit and a rotating permanent magnet. A set of numerical simulations have been carried out to evaluate the influences of (i) magnet diameter, (ii) distance between the magnet and the microchannel, and (iii) shape of the magnet on magnetic flux densities (MFD) inside microchannels with Fe3O4 magnetic nanofluid. The results indicated that the MFD on the magnetic nanofluid significantly varies along with the radial position within the microchannel.
