Abstract
In this paper, the effect of a variable magnetic field (VMF) on the natural convection heat transfer of Fe 3 O 4 -water nanofluid in a half-annulus cavity is studied by finite element method using FlexPDE com- mercial code. After deriving the governing equations and solving the problem by defined boundary con- ditions, the effects of three main parameters (Hartmann Number (Ha), nanoparticles volume fraction (u) and Rayleigh number (Ra)) on the local and average Nusselt numbers of inner wall are investigated. As a main outcome, results confirm that in low Eckert numbers, increasing the Hartmann number make a decrease on the Nusselt number due to Lorentz force resulting from the presence of stronger magnetic field.
