"Due to the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect depressing heat transfer coefficients by pulsation suppression of an external magnetic field on the flow, a hemispherical-dimple wall is employed to a free surface MHD-flow system as heat transfer enhancement, because the hemispherical-dimple wall has some excellent characteristics including high heat transfer coefficients, low friction factors, and high overall thermal performances. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of the free surface MHD-flow with the hemispherical-dimple wall are simulated numerically in this paper," scientists writing in the Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer report.
"The heat ...
