Water Heating Rate as a Function of Magnetic Field and Electrical Induction Using Solar Energy

The effect of magnetic fields on the water remains a highly controversial topic despite

much research focused on this topic in the past decades. However, the improvement of

water heating in a magnetic field is less controversial. The mechanism underlying this

phenomenon was studied in prior works. In this paper, use solar electric induction to

study the heating of water in magnetic fields; one distinction between induction heating

and magnetic field heating is that the convection in the water heater is varied due to the

different heating locations. Using computational fluid dynamics, it was possible to

examine the heat load in the heater during induction heating and magnetic field heating,

determine its temperature distribution, and flow rate. The heat flow in magnetic field

heating was measured over the heater base at the bottom. In induction heating, the

analysis was conducted using the distribution of heat production as determined by

electromagnetic field analysis. Simulation shows differences in convective flow in the

heater during induction heating and magnetic field heating, particularly in the early

stages of heating.
