The effect of the strength and direction of magnetic field on the assembly of magnetic nanoparticles into higher structures

The self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles into higher-order organizations upon external magnetic stimulation has critical importance for the fabrication of discrete microstructures. In this study, the tuning of self-assembly behavior of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs), with an average size of 6 nm, under the enhanced magnetic force upon changing the applied field strength and direction is explored. Upon evaporation of the solvent where the MNPs are suspended, formation of particular micrometer sized structures is achieved with a surface constructed from sub-micrometer size magnetic beads in between the applied magnetic field and MNPs. In this study, three different surfaces fabricated using sub-micrometer size magnetic beads in between the applied magnetic field and MNPs are used and the effect of the template pattern, applied field strength and direction are explored.     

On the mechanism of the external magnetic field action on the electron temperature and ion charge state distribution in a vacuum arc plasma

When an external axial magnetic field is applied to a vacuum arc, the radial expansion of plasma from cathode spots transforms into a plasma flow along the magnetic field, provided that the electron-ion collision frequency is smaller than the Larmor frequency. As the magnetic field strength increases, the diameter of the resulting cylindrical channel decreases. This leads to an increase in the electron temperature and the ion charge due to enhanced Joule heating of the plasma. Unlike the intrinsic azimuthal magnetic field, the external axial field only restricts expansion of the plasma, rather than compressing the plasma jet.     

On the magneto-hydrodynamic flow past a rotating disk in a fluid-particle suspension with a circular magnetic field

The flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid with a suspension of inert particles over a rotating disk in the presence of a circular magnetic field is investigated. The governing equations of motion are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations, and solved numerically by using least squares finite element method. The radial velocity of the panicles attains its maximum on the surface of the disk and the particles slip in the tangential direction. The flow boundary layer is thickened and the axial flow field is reduced as a result of the magnetic field. The particle density is maximum near the surface of the disk.

On an analogy to the area–velocity relation of gasdynamics in slender vortices

Inviscid compressible flow in a slender longitudinal vortex with the axis parallel to the main flow direction is discussed. The Euler equations for steady, axially symmetric flow are simplified for the neighbourhood of the axis of the vortex. The resulting relations, expressing the angular velocity in terms of the axial mass flow, when recast and integrated, represent an analogy to the area–velocity and the area-Mach number relation of one-dimensional gasdynamics. By restricting the analysis to the flow in a Rankine vortex with constant stagnation enthalpy, the static pressure on the axis can be related to the free-stream pressure far away from the axis and the maximum value of the azimuthal velocity. The influence of a radial wake-like distribution of the axial velocity component on the axial pressure is discussed. Its dependence on variable external boundary conditions is given. A condition is formulated, which has to be satisfied for the formation of a free stagnation point on the axis.

Modeling transient magnetohydrodynamic peristaltic pumping of electroconductive viscoelastic fluids through a deformable curved channel

A mathematical model is presented to analyze the unsteady peristaltic flow of magnetized viscoelastic fluids through a deformable curved channel. The study simulates the bio-inspired pumping of electroconductive rheological polymers which possess both electroconductive and viscoelastic properties. The Jeffrey viscoelastic model is utilized which features both relaxation and retardation terms of relevance to real polymers. A magnetic body force is incorporated for the influence of static radial magnetic field. The mass and momentum conservation equations are formulated in an intrinsic coordinate system and transformed with appropriate variables into a nondimensional system between the wave and the laboratory frames, under lubrication (i.e., low Reynolds number and long wavelength) approximations. Kinematic and no-slip boundary conditions are imposed at the channel walls. A magnetic body force is incorporated for the influence of static radial magnetic field in the primary momentum equation. An analytic approach is employed to determine closed-form solutions for stream function, axial pressure gradient, and volumetric flow rate. Spatiotemporal plots for pressure distribution along the channel (passage) length are presented to study the influences of curvature parameter, relaxation-to-retardation time ratio (Jeffrey first viscoelastic parameter) and Hartmann number (magnetic field parameter). The effects of these parameters on radial velocity distributions are also visualized. Cases of trapping and reflux in a curved channel are discussed. Streamline distributions are included to study trapping phenomena and to investigate more closely the impact of curvature, magnetic field, and viscoelastic properties on bolus evolution. The reflux or retrograde motion of the particles is studied by particle advection based on Lagrangian viewpoint. The simulations provide new insight into the mechanisms of pumping of electroconductive non-Newtonian liquids in realistic geometries.

The effect of axisymmetric two-dimensional magnetic field on the configuration of vacuum-arc plasma

An experimental investigation is made of the effect of axisymmetric two-dimensional magnetic field on the forming of plasma and on the configuration of cathode spots in a vacuum-arc discharge. It is demonstrated that a magnetic field with a transverse (relative to the discharge axis) component has a significant effect on the shape of plasma column and on the rate of expansion of the cathode spot region. In a magnetic field, arc plasma has the form of truncated cone expanding toward the anode. The cathode spots take up a part of the cathode area which decreases with increasing magnetic field. Arguments are given in support of the assumption that the arrangement of cathode spots and the form of arc plasma are defined by the minimum principle similar to the Steinbeck principle. In so doing, the displacement of spots is caused by their emergence in a new region corresponding to a lower arc voltage. Also discussed is the mechanism associated with retrograde motion of cathode spot in view of the effect of azimuthal magnetic field on the axial component of current and of the effect of axial magnetic field on the azimuthal component of current.

High gradient magnetic particle separation in viscous flows by 3D BEM

The boundary element method was applied to study the motion of magnetic particles in fluid flow under the action of external nonuniform magnetic field. The derived formulation combines the velocity-vorticity resolved Navier–Stokes equations with the Lagrange based particle tracking model, where the one-way coupling with fluid phase was considered. The derived algorithm was used to test a possible design of high gradient magnetic separation in a narrow channel by computing particles trajectories in channel flow under the influence of hydrodynamic and magnetic forces. Magnetic field gradient was obtained by magnetization wires placed outside of the channel. Simulations with varying external magnetic field and flow rate were preformed in order to asses the collection efficiency of the proposed device. We found that the collection efficiency decreases linearly with increasing flow rate. Also, the collection efficiency was found to increase with magnetic field strength only up a saturation point. Furthermore, we found that high collection efficiently is not feasible at high flow velocity and/or at weak magnetic field. Recommendation for optimal choice of external magnetic field and flow rate is discussed.     

A NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SWIRLING FLOW PNEUMATIC CONVEYING IN A HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

ABSTRACT

A numerical simulation for swirling and axial flow pneumatic conveying in a horizontal pipe was carried out with a Eulerian approach for the gas phase and a stochastic Lagrangian approach for particle phase, where particle-particle and particle-wall collisions were taken into consideration. The k-? turbulence model is used to characterize the time and length scales of the gas-phase turbulence. Models are proposed for predicting the particle source and additional pressure loss. The numerical results are presented for polyethylene pellets of 3.1 mm diameter conveyed through a pipeline of 13 m in length with an inner diameter of 80 mm, solid mass flow rate was 0.084 kg/s, and gas velocity was varied from 10 m/s to 18 m/s. The particle flow patterns, the particle concentration and the particle velocity, and additional pressure loss were obtained. It is found that the particle velocity and concentration has almost same value along flow direction in swirling flow pneumatic conveying. The profile of particle concentration for swirling flow pneumatic conveying exhibits symmetric distribution towards the centerline and the higher particle concentration appears in neighbor of wall in the acceleration region. At downstream, the uniform profile of particle concentration is observed. The particle velocity profile, on the other hand, is uniform for both swirling and axial flow pneumatic conveying. A comparison of the calculations with the measured data shows a good agreement within an average error of less than 15 percent.

Diffusion positive column of electric discharge in transverse magnetic field

The effect of a transverse magnetic field on the characteristics of planar diffusion positive column of electric discharge has been studied. It is shown that, as the magnetic induction increases, the distributions of plasma density and particle fluxes to walls become asymmetric; the density maximum shifts in the direction of Ampere’s force action, and the ion flux in this force direction can significantly exceed the reverse flux. It is established that there is a maximum value of magnetic induction, which bounds from above the region of magnetic fields in which a stationary state of the positive column is possible. In the region where a stationary state of the positive column is possible, each value of the magnetic induction corresponds to two positive-column regimes with different values of the electron energy, drift velocity, and electric field strength.

Estimation of turbulence velocities induced by magnetic stirring during continuous casting

Abstract

In this paper the turbulent flow generated in a cylindrical container by a low-frequency rotating magnetic field is considered. The rotational part of the electromagnetic body force is steady and axisymmetric, driving an azimuthal swirl flow. It is shown that curvature effects are negligible near the wall of the containing vessel and consequently the velocity profile in that region has the standard logarithmic form. Extrapolating this profile to the core allows an estimate of the core angular velocity to be made. This estimate is consistent with published experimental data and with the results of a more complex two-parameter closure model.

An experimental investigation of liquid metal flow past a cylinder in longitudinal magnetic field

The distribution of pressure on the surface of a cylinder is obtained as a result of experimental investigation; this distribution significantly varies with increasing magnetic induction compared to the flow past a cylinder in the absence of magnetic field. In so doing, the pressure drag coefficient of the cylinder significantly increases. The measurements of velocity profiles reveal that the extent of the region of stagnant flow before the cylinder (the so-called “leading” wake) increases with magnetic induction. The dependence of axial defect of velocity on the MHD interaction parameter is obtained; this dependence under conditions of flow in a strong magnetic field is unaffected by the shape of the body subjected to flow, as is confirmed by the results of experiment involving the flow past a plate.
