Abstract
Through the numerical analysis of thermomagnetic convection phenomena in a flowing magnetic fluid in a parallel duct, we explain the effects of internal angular momentum and duel shape on pressure difference, temperature, local Nusselt number and transit, response time in a parallel duct type of energy conversion systems using the magnetic fluid under nonuniform magnetic field. These effects on thermomagnetic convection are arranged using the Rayleigh and Grashof numbers. Figs 4, Refs 7.
