Abstract Effects of a magnetic field on aeration through porous medium compost have been investigated numerically. Some composts yield heat over 60
degrees Celsius in fermentation process. That exothermic reaction produces a considerable amount of heat, which could be a potential heating
source. Fermentation reaction requires aeration, sufficient supply of paramagnetic oxygen gas and exhaust of metabolized diamagnetic carbon
dioxide gas. Continuous and forced air supply is more efficient rather than conventional manual turns or stirrings as aeration means. In magnetoaero-dynamics, the magnetizing force acting on a paramagnetic oxygen gas is applied for the enhancement of airflow, heat and mass transfer.… More >
