Bubbles generation mechanism in magnetic fluid and its control by an applied magnetic field

AbstractA comparison of the effect of an applied magnetic field on the bubble departure diameter in a magnetic nanofluid, for different orientations of the magnetic field gradient with respect to gravity, is presented. Using the instantaneous relative pressure during the bubble growth and departure and the instantaneous gas flow rate measured for a certain range of magnetic field intensity, the dependence between the average bubbles injection frequency, average bubble volume and the applied magnetic field were studied. An effect of the injection hole size on the bubble frequency was observed
