Abstract

The application of a magnetic field to a falling-film evaporation system can have several effects. The magnetic field can alter the liquid film's flow behavior and modify the system's heat transfer characteristics. The numerical study of falling film evaporation by mixed convection on a vertical channel under a static magnetic field has been investigated. The vertical channel is composed of two parallel plates. The right plate is dry and isothermal, while the left plate is wetted by a falling liquid film and exposed to a static, uniform heat flux from the outside. Water film makes up the liquid, while dry air and water vapor make up the gas mixture. The results relate to the effects of the magnetic field on heat and mass transfer and on liquid film evaporation. The results demonstrate that the static magnetic field has a weak effect on heat and mass transfer and water film evaporation. In fact, it is shown that an increase in the static magnetic field weakly enhances heat and mass transfer as well as liquid film evaporation.
