This paper discusses the forced convective heat transfer characteristics of water–ethylene glycol (EG)-based Fe3O4 nanofluid and Fe3O4–MWCNT hybrid nanofluid under the effect of a magnetic field. The results indicated that the convective heat transfer coefficient of magnetic nanofluids increased with an increase in the strength of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field strength was varied from 0 to 750 G, the maximum convective heat transfer coefficients were observed for the 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 and 0.1 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT nanofluids, and the improvements were approximately 2.78% and 3.23%, respectively. The average pressure drops for 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 and 0.2 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT nanofluids increased by about 4.73% and 5.23%, respectively. Owing to the extensive aggregation of nanoparticles by the external magnetic field, the heat transfer coefficient of the 0.1 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT hybrid nanofluid was 5% higher than that of the 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 nanofluid. Therefore, the convective heat transfer can be enhanced by the dispersion stability of the nanoparticles and optimization of the magnetic field strength.

Numerical investigation of buoyancy effect on forced convective heat transfer to supercritical carbon dioxide flowing in a vertical tube was carried out. When the mass flux is low and wall heat flux high, it shows that the buoyancy effect is obvious, which might redistribute the radial and axial velocity, even M shaped distribution in the radial direction. When the zero-velocity-gradient region corresponding to the M shaped velocity distribution appears in the edge of viscous layer, the production and diffusion of eddy will be weakened, resulting in heat transfer deterioration. According to the extended simulations based on experimental data, reducing the wall heat flux, adding the mass flux or raising the inlet temperature can relieve the deterioration of heat transfer caused by buoyancy effect.
