铁粒子多分散系统磁流变液的制备和性能研究

磁流变液是铁磁性颗粒分散到低粘度的油中形成的稳定的悬浊液。其扩散特性主要由颗粒本身的物性和颗粒间的相互作用而决定。为了更好的控制颗粒间的相互作用,我们加入同样物性,但尺寸更小的颗粒,以调控悬浊液的流动特性。研究显示,在高体积百分比的磁流变液中加入亚微米尺寸的铁颗粒可以显著改善流体在没有外加磁场情况下的流动特性。受范得华力影响,加入的小颗粒首先附着在大颗粒周围,形成组装体,组装体间范得华力较小,从而有效降低了流体粘度。流体的粘度随着小颗粒在大颗粒上附着的比例不同而变化。随着小颗粒的增加,流体中铁颗粒的体积百分比增加,从而提高了磁流变液在磁场中的屈服应力,增强了磁流变液的磁流变效果。     

Mathematical modeling of heat and mass transfer effects on MHD peristaltic propulsion of two-phase flow through a Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer porous medium

This article deals with the combined effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic propulsion of two-phase fluid flow through a Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer porous medium with compliant walls. The Sisko fluid model together with small particles is considered in the presence of extrinsic magnetic field and chemical reaction. It is well-known that different biological fluids behave like a Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid depending upon the shear rates. The non-Newtonian fluid models are more complicated than Newtonian fluid and difficult to express using the single constitutive relationship between stress and strain rate. These constitutive equations provide a complex mathematical formulation and become numerous challenges to find numerical and analytical solutions. Small magnetic particles are helpful to manipulate and control the two-phase flow by magnetic force. Moreover, it is also beneficial in drug targeting for the treatment of different diseases. Further, two-phase flow plays an important role to examine the muscular expansion and contraction during the propagation of various biological fluids. An appropriate approximation is considered such as long wavelength and creeping flow regime to model the governing equations. Analytical solutions are obtained using the perturbation method. Moreover, numerical computations are performed to determine the features of peristaltic pumping. The results of different rheological properties for particle and fluid phase are discussed mathematically as well as graphically for different sundry parameters. The current analysis has an extensive amount of applications in medical engineering and also significant importance of smart fluid pumping systems in various engineering processes.

Analysis of particles in magnetorheological polishing fluid for finishing of ferromagnetic cylindrical workpiece

Magnetorheological honing process is developed for nanofinishing of internal surfaces of ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic cylindrical objects. The process makes use of smart fluid called magnetorheological (MR) polishing fluid for finishing which has a property to become stiff in the existence of magnetic field. The smart MR polishing fluid is made with the ingredients of carbonyl iron (CI) particles, abrasive particles, and base fluid. Direct current given to the electromagnet coil engenders magnetic field on finishing tool surface. Magnetic force acts on magnetic CI particles which further exert the repulsive force on nonmagnetic silicon carbide (SiC) abrasive particles and performs finishing when tool rotates as well as reciprocates inside the cylindrical workpiece. The CI and SiC particles present in MR polishing fluid are magnetically simulated and analyzed using finite element (FE) analysis. The distribution of magnetic flux density and magnitude of magnetic force acting on CI particles are analyzed through FE analysis. It is found that the CI particles which are available adjacent to the active abrasives are major responsible for indenting the active abrasive particles into workpiece surface. Also, the effect of finishing tool surface areas and particles size on the strength of chains of CI particles in MR polishing fluid have been analyzed.

Three‐dimensional modelling and simulation of magnetorheological fluids

A magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) is a type of smart fluid composed of micrometer‐sized magnetizable particles suspended in a carrier fluid. The rheological properties of an MR fluid can be greatly altered upon application of an external magnetic field. This paper presents a computational framework for the numerical study of MR fluids, in which a two‐stage modelling and simulation strategy is proposed to achieve reasonable accuracy and computational efficiency. At the first stage for simulating the particle chain formation, the particle dynamics plays a major role whereas the hydrodynamics of the fluid flow is of secondary importance. Thus an MR fluid is modelled in the context of the discrete element method and the simple Stokes formula is adopted for the hydrodynamic interaction. At the second stage, the formulated particle chains are applied as the initial configuration for simulating the rheological properties of the fluid under different shear loading conditions. A combined lattice Boltzmann and discrete element approach is employed to fully resolve the fluid field and the hydrodynamic interactions between the fluid and the particles. Some relevant magnetic models are comprehensively reviewed and the mutual dipole model is employed in this work to account for the magnetic interactions between the particles. The proposed solution procedure is illustrated via a set of numerical simulations for a representative volume element of an MR fluid. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

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.

Nanostructured magnetic particles with polystyrene and their magnetorheological applications

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are known to be colloidal suspensions of magnetic particles in a non-magnetic fluid, and exposure to a magnetic field transforms the fluid into a plastic-like solid in milliseconds. To improve the stability against sedimentation and uniform dispersion, two different MR candidates, soft magnetic carbonyl iron (CI) microspheres and magnetite (Fe3O4) particles were modified with polystyrene to be applied for MR fluids in this study. After modification, their unique morphology, crystalline structure and magnetic properties were examined in addition to MR performance and sedimentation characteristics. It was found that this embedded morphology not only effectively prevents direct contact of the magnetic species thus improving particle dispersion but also leads to obvious change in their density, compared with the traditional polymer coating method with a core-shell structure.     

Magnetic coupling properties of multiple metal wear particles for high-precision electromagnetic debris detection applications

The electromagnetic wear particle detector is one of effective method to monitor wear debris in lubricating oil for assessing the wear condition of mechanical equipment. However, the motion of wear particles, especially the aggregation behavior in both fluid field and magnetic field, may make the particle detector generate false wear signals. Therefore, to estimate the impact on the detection accuracy of wear debris by the particle aggregation effect, the magnetic coupling model of multiple wear particles is established for studying the magnetic coupling effect between adjacent metal particles. The research results show that the effect changes the total magnetic energy variation induced by the particles and then affects the amplitude of particle signal. Meanwhile, the variation degree is closely associated with the frequency of magnetic field of particle detectors. Overall, the aggregation of wear particles with the same magnetic properties (both ferromagnetic or non-ferromagnetic) leads to false alarms of particle detectors; and the aggregation of wear particles with different magnetic properties causes missing alarms of particle detectors. Meanwhile, increasing the field frequency may increases the probability of missing alarm failure of particle detectors.     

Numerical simulation of chainlike cluster movement of feeble magnetic particles by induced magnetic dipole moment under high magnetic fields

In this paper, the motion of a chainlike cluster of feeble magnetic particles induced by high magnetic field is discussed on the basis of the results of numerical simulations. The simulations were performed on glass particles with a diameter of 0.8 mm; and the viscosity, applied magnetic field and magnetic properties of the surrounding medium were changed. In addition to the magnetic field and the difference in magnetic susceptibility between the particles and the surrounding medium, the obtained results indicate that the viscosity is an essential factor for the formation of the chainlike alignment of feeble magnetic particles. We also carried out simulations using glass particles with a smaller diameter of 0.1 mm. Chainlike clusters were produced similar to those of ferromagnetic particles formed in a ferromagnetic fluid.

The effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the thermal conductivities of various base fluids

Conventional heat transfer fluids have intrinsically poor heat transfer properties compared to solids. Enhancing the efficiency of heat transfer is of great interest for various industrial applications. Suspending solid particles in a fluid increases the thermal conductivity of the resulting suspension and enhances the heat transfer properties. In this work, changes in thermal conductivities of fluids upon the addition of magnetic nanoparticles have been investigated. Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles are synthesized using different synthesis methods and are suspended in various oils. The effect of the base fluid and the type of magnetic particle on the thermal conductivity is investigated in detail. Up to 28% increase in the thermal conductivity is obtained with 2.5 wt% magnetic particles in hexane. The thermal conductivity enhancement is found to depend on the particle concentration, method of preparation and base fluid. The enhancements obtained are higher than those estimated using any theoretical model present in the literature.     

Thermal behaviour and particle size evaluation of primary clusters in a water-based magnetic fluid

This paper reports the experimental research on thermal behaviour and particle size evaluation of primary clusters of ferromagnetic nano-particles in a water-based magnetic fluid. The magnetic fluids are suspensions of ultra fine particles coated with a molecular layer of dispersant in a liquid carrier such as water or kerosene. The particles are coated with single- or double-layer of surfactant to achieve stable dispersion. Numerous experimental studies have indicated the existence of the primary cluster of ferromagnetic nano-particles in a water-based magnetic fluid. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the particle size of the primary clusters by applying the Einstein's equation for Brownian motion assuming that the primary cluster has a spherical-shape. The thermal behaviour of ferromagnetic nano-particles in magnetic fluids is investigated through the micro visualization using the optical darkfield microscope system and particle tracking velocimetry data processing system. Real-time visualization of the Brownian motion of primary clusters in a water-based magnetic fluid was carried out. The experimental results clarified that the primary cluster size depends upon the concentration of the ferromagnetic nano-particle in the magnetic fluid.

Characterization of magnetic forces by means of suspended particles in paramagnetic solutions

A new technique, whereby the so-called "iso-directional-force lines" may be illustrated directly, is proposed. The method is based on the levitation forces acting on a particle immersed in paramagnetic fluid in nonhomogeneous magnetic field. An ordered set of capillaries, each containing a small particle suspended in the fluid, may be used to depict the iso-directional-force lines by the equilibrium positions of the particles. Once the field is mapped (by a selected standard system), its characteristics are known, with respect to any other fluid particle combinations. The latter is of significance for research and technology.     

Physico-chemical and NMR relaxometric characterization of gadolinium hydroxide and dysprosium oxide nanoparticles

Gadolinium hydroxide and dysprosium oxide nanoparticles, which constitute a new interesting class of magnetic nanoparticles, are characterized by different methods, using x-ray diffraction, magnetometry and NMR relaxometry at multiple fields. The rod-like particles are first shown to have a simple paramagnetic behavior, like the bulk compound, without any influence of the nanometric size of the particles. Because of their paramagnetic moment, these particles considerably shorten water relaxation times, especially the transverse relaxation time at high fields. The relaxation induced by gadolinium hydroxide particles is due to a proton exchange between the particle surface and bulk water, while the transverse relaxation caused by dysprosium oxide particles is governed by the diffusion of water protons around the magnetized particles. 1/T(2) increases linearly with the magnetic field for gadolinium hydroxide particles while a quadratic increase is observed for dysprosium oxide nanoparticles. The relaxation results are compared with those from previous studies and interpreted using different theories for the relaxation induced by magnetic particles.

Measurement of the Viscosity of Dilute Magnetic Fluids

The capillary tube viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of aqueous magnetic fluids under the influence of parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields. The effects of the volume fraction of the suspended magnetic particles, the concentration of surfactants, and the external magnetic field strength, as well as the orientation, on the viscosity of the magnetic fluid are analyzed. The experimental results show that the viscosity of the sample magnetic fluids increases with increases in the concentrations of suspended magnetic particles and surfactants. The external magnetic field is also an important factor that affects the viscosity of the magnetic fluid. The viscosity first increases with the magnetic field and finally approaches a constant as the magnetization attains a saturation state. For the same magnetic fluid, the viscosity in a perpendicular magnetic field is larger than that in a parallel magnetic field for the same magnetic field.Paper presented at the Seventh Asian Thermophysical Properties Conference, August 23–28, 2004, Hefei and Huangshan, Anhui, P.
