Our PhD student, Robert Mulka M.Sc. from the Division of Refrigeration and Heat Pumps at the Department of Thermal Sciences was awarded with a research grant in the NCN PRELUDIUM 20 competition. The scientific supervisor is Prof. Bartosz Zajączkowski.
The awarded project entitled 'Influence of the external magnetic field on heat transfer parameters in ferrofluid flow through an inclined convective heat exchanger' focuses on forces influencing the FNF pipe flow (viscosity, buoyancy, gravity and magnetic field). The aim is to study heat and mass flow processes during the laminar flow of FNF with particular focus on the influence of magnetic field (its direction and strength) and direction of gravity force on convective heat transfer process. To reach the goal, the magnetic field and the direction of gravity (inclination of the pipe) will be used to influence heat and mass transfer, providing insight into operation of FNF-based convective heat exchangers.
495 projects out of 2217 applications were qualified for co-financing in the PRELUDIUM competition. The total amount allocated to the research is 77 million PLN.
