Review of Magnetization Impacts on Vapor Absorption Refrigeration Systems

Amidst the ongoing maintainable energy revolution, reducing energy consumption in vapor absorption refrigeration system (VARS) has become a critical application part. Over the past several decades, extensive research has been devoted to these systems. This study presents a thorough classification and review of the existing literature on magnetized refrigeration systems, specifically focusing on VARS. The paper explores the effects of magnetic fields on fluid flow interactions, categorizing the research into Electro-Hydrodynamics (EHD) and Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD). It highlights the distinctive impacts of magnetic fields on the thermophysical properties of electrically conducting fluids. Additionally, the article delves into the fundamental mechanisms behind the influence of magnetization on these properties. The review encompasses experimental studies conducted over the last two decades regarding the effects of magnetization on VARS.
