Heat transfer in magnetic nano-particle dispersion can be influenced by the presence of external magnetic-field. This paper presents an experimental investigation on effect of external uniform magnetic-field on natural convection heat transfer in magnetite and iron nano-dispersion in a differentially heated cubical cavity. The experiments are conducted between the Rayleigh number range of 4.23× 10 5 to 1.0× 10 7. The study includes experiments and discussion on the corroborating and suppressing effects of thermo-magnetic convection induced by the external magnetic-field on the natural convection heat transfer. Additionally, this study also reports the experimental results and pertinent explanation on the directional effect of magnetic-field on the heat transfer in magnetite and iron nano-dispersion. The paper quantitatively presents the extent of heat transfer depreciation/enhancement in different orientations of the cavity in the presence of magnetic-field. The study also explores the effect of particle volume fraction in magnetic fluid on heat transfer in each case.
