Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effects of magnetically treated sandy and loamy soils on their temperatures when exposed to varying levels of wetness. Governing equations were formed as various assumptions were made representing the condition under which the work was done. The equation was solved and the result graphed. The Hartmann number which represents the magnetic parameter and the thermal conductivities of the soils involved (loam and sand) were examined on the soils temperature based on the line of this study. Base on the findings, it is concluded that wetness plays an important role in the temperature of magnetic materials. Furthermore, the findings of this study can be used to optimize the treatment of sandy and loamy soils with magnetic materials.
