Average heat transfer rates measured in two different temperature ranges for magnetic convection of horizontal water layer heated from below

The average heat transfer rates of gravitational and magnetic convection of water heated from below and cooled from above are measured for two cases of cold wall temperature θc at 10 °C and 30 °C. The height of the cylindrical enclosure is 2 mm with 40 mm in diameter. The magnetic field is imposed in a vertical direction to increase or decrease 29% of the gravitational acceleration in a bore space of a super-conducting magnet of 10 T at the solenoid center. The group of data at θc = 30 °C gives a better agreement with the classical heat transfer rate of Silveston than that at θc = 10 °C. This is probably due to the almost constant value in the volumetric magnetic susceptibility of water at about 10 °C.
