The aim of the present investigation is to explain the application of ferrofluid (Fe3O4) as target drug delivery system in nanotechnology. It works on the principle of Magnetism which plays an important role in different application of ferrofluid in medicine. Ferrofluid is biocompatible and therefore it is one of the most extensively used biomaterials for different application ranging from cell...

in the present attempt, flow behavior and thermal convection of one type of nanofluids in a disc geometry was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (cfd). influence of gravity induced sedimentation also has been studied. the commercial software, fluent 6.2, has been employed to solve the governing equations. a user defined function was added to apply a uniform external magnetic field....

The article aimed to analytically investigate the thermophysical behaviors of a ferrofluid in a vertical rectangle with the variation of intensity of the magnetic field, viscosity of the ferrofluid and boundary conditions. The governing equations of the ferrofluid include the continuity, momentum and energy equations for describing the thermal-fluidic behaviors of the ferrofluid and the Maxwell...

The purpose of this article is to study the heat transfer characteristics of a voice-coil and permanent magnet for a speaker using nano-sized ferrofluid. In order to investigate the temperature characteristics of the speaker, the speaker power ratings, ambient temperatures of the test chamber, chamber sizes and input signals were tested. As a result, the temperatures of the voice-coil and magne...

Reactive spinning of nano- and microfibers that involves very fast chemical reactions and ion exchange is a challenge for the common methods for nanofiber formation. Herein, we introduce the reactive magnetospinning method. This procedure is based on the magnetic-field-directed collision of ferrofluid droplets with liquid droplets that contain complementary reactants. The collision, start of th...

Ferrofluid instabilities in DC magnetic fields for an Isopar-M based ferrofluid with saturation magnetization of about 400 Gauss. a) 1200 Gauss 5 mm diameter magnet behind small ferrofluid droplet surrounded by propanol to prevent ferrofluid wetting of 1 mm gap glass plates; Peak pattern with magnetic field perpendicular to ferrofluid layer. The peaks initiate in a hexagonal array when the magn...

In the presence of an external magnetic field, cobalt nanoparticle-based ferrofluid forms a self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterial. The wave equation, which describes propagation of extraordinary light inside the ferrofluid, exhibits 2+1 dimensional Lorentz symmetry. The role of time in the corresponding effective three-dimensional Minkowski space-time is played by the spatial coordinate direct...

This paper presents a general method for studying the mechanical properties of a ferrofluid seal by using a three-dimensional analytical approach based on the coulombian model of a magnet. The fundamental Maxwell’s equations lead us to define the concept of magnetic energy of the ferrofluid seal by using only the three-dimensional equations of the magnetic field created by ring permanent magnet...

Introduction. The extraction of directed motion from random fluctuations is an old and controversial problem in statistical mechanics with a long and interesting history [1]. Although excluded by the second law of thermodynamics for equilibrium systems, rectification of fluctuations is possible in systems driven sufficiently far away from thermal equilibrium [2, 3]. The problem has gained renew...
