A numerical study on the effect of magnetic heating to crude oil-nanofluid flow for enhanced oil recovery

Magnetic heating of crude oil mixed with nanoparticle for heat transfer mechanism enhancement has received much attention in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In the present work, the heat transfer of Fe3O4, Al2O3, CuO, Cu nanoparticles mixed in crude oil is theoretically investigated. The mathematical m...

In the present work, the heat transfer of Fe3O4, Al2O3, CuO, Cu nanoparticles mixed in crude oil is theoretically investigated. The mathematical model of magnetic field heating in reservoir is represented by the channel flow of crude oil-nanofluid subjected to a longitudinal spatially varying magnetic field.
