This paper investigates the axial unsteady flow of a generalized Burgers’ fluid with fractional constitutive equation in a circular micro-tube, in presence of a time-dependent pressure gradient and an electric field parallel to flow direction and a magnetic field perpendicular on the flow direction. The mathematical model used in this work is based on a time-nonlocal constitutive equation for s...

Magnetic fluids are stable colloidal systems of fine single-domain magnetic particles (for example Fe3O4, γ-Fe2O3, Co, MnFe2O4, etc.) that are suspended in liquid carrier such as water, mineral oil, damping oil, paraffin, kerosene and so on. The properties of magnetic fluids are well controlled by external magnetic field that gives broad possibilities for technical and biomedical applications. ...

In this research, a novel method is reported for the surface grafting of n-vinylcaprolactam as a thermosensitive agent and 3-allyloxy-1,2-propandiol with an affinity toward ceftriaxone onto modified magnetic nanoparticles by 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane. The grafted nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Elemental Analysis, and Vibrating Sample Magnetom...

As a key component of hydraulic control systems, hydraulic servovalves influence their performance significantly. Unpredictable self-excited noise inside hydraulic servovalves may cause instability and even failure. Being functional, with higher saturation magnetization and increased viscosity when exposed to a magnetic field, magnetic fluids (MFs) have been widely used in dampers, sealing, and...

This paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. The two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number. The exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave...
