The experiment was conducted to investigate the heat transfer performance of a closed-loop pulsating heat pipe(CLPHP)filled with a magnetic fluid. The particle volume fraction of the magnetic fluid is 1.39%
and its surfactant is tetramethylammonium hydroxide(TMAH)aqueous solution. The CLPHP is made of a brass tube with an inner diameter of 2.5 mm. The CLPHP with an inclination angle of 60° runs at a heat input of 40-150 W. In addition
the experiment data were compared with those for using the solution of water and TMAH with the mass fraction of 1.875% filled in the heat pipe. The results show that the heat transport capability increases significantly when the CLPHP is filled with the magnetic fluid
and the optimum filling rate of the magnetic fluid is 40%. The thermal resistance of the heat pipe rises slightly when the uniform magnetic field with the strength of 0-60 kA/m is imposed on the bottom of the adiabatic section of the CLPHP.
