| Research Abstract |
Research group was organized to conduct the research on aggregation and flow characteristics of magnetic fluids between Japan and United Kingdom.
Research subjects are as follows :
(1) Particle aggregation of magnetic fluid, (2) Preparation and physical properties of magnetic fluid, (3) Pipe flow characteristics (4) Applications.
In the first subject (1), it is clarified that the attraction force due to the hydrophobio bond between surfactant layers as well as the magnetic force, play an important role in the aggregation of particles in the case of wate magrietio fluid. Also three dimensional Monte-Carlo simulation is extended to calculate the cluster formation in colloid by taking into account a particle-particle interaction.
In the second subject (2), new magnetic fluid whose magnetication is 3 - 4 times higher than the ordinary magnetic fluid was prepared. Hence, the physical properties and the stability in the severe environment are investigated. Also, ionic magnetic fluid which does not use surfactant is prepared the dispersion of particles is investigated.
In the third subject (3), the oscillatory pipe flow characteristics are investigated theoretically. The analytical results explain well the experimental results.
Also, the basic equations describing mechanics of a magnetic fluid are derived to explain the visomlastic properties of magnetic fluid.
In the subject (4), applications to new energy conversion system and heat pipe by utilizing a boiling two-phase flow are investigated.
