Abstract: 

In order to improve the heat transfer rate of heat pipe, an experimental research method was introduced, it is that using magnetic field to enhance the heat transfer of nano-magnetic fluid vacuum heat pipe. In this experiment, through the preparation of nano-magnetic fluid as well as the independent design the heat exchanger test-bed, the heat transfer of nano-magnetic fluid heat pipe was studied in different types and intensities of magnetic fields. The study found that the heat transfer of nano-magnetic fluid heat pipe was the best. Every kind of magnetic field could enhance the heat transfer of nano-magnetic fluid heat pipe, in which the static DC magnetic field did the best and the maximum raise rate was 19.2%.
