An Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Magnetization Properties and Basic Electromechanics of Ferrofluids,

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the basic magnetization processes and properties of ferrofluids and to apply the findings to the continuum electromechanics in order to develop better models for the magnetically coupled hydrodynamics of these stable colloidal suspensions. The magnetization studies have included (1) long-term magnetization measurements, (2) osmotic pressure measurements, and (3) theoretical and experimental magnetitie particle agglomeration and settling studies.
