The name ferrofluid was introduced, the process improved, more highly magnetic liquids synthesized, additional carrier liquids discovered, and the physical chemistry elucidated by R. E. Rosensweig and colleagues. In addition Rosensweig evolved a new branch of fluid mechanics termed ferrohydrodynamics which sparked further theoretical research ...
Ferrofluidic is the brand name of a staged magnetic liquid rotary sealing mechanism made by the Ferrotec Corporation. Ferrofluidic seals, also known as magnetic liquid rotary seals, are employed in various rotating equipment to facilitate rotary motion while ensuring a hermetic seal.
In the second type, the following chemical reaction occurs: 2 Fe 3+ + Fe 2+ + 8 OH − → Fe 3 O 4 ↓ + 4 H 2 O. Optimum conditions for this reaction are pH between 8 and 14, Fe 3+ / Fe 2+ ratio of 2:1 and a non-oxidizing environment. Being highly susceptibile to oxidation, magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) is transformed to maghemite (γ Fe 2 O 3) in the ...
Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath. A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements.Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets.
A dispersant or a dispersing agent is a substance, typically a surfactant, that is added to a suspension of solid or liquid particles in a liquid (such as a colloid or emulsion) to improve the separation of the particles and to prevent their settling or clumping.
A smart fluid is a fluid whose properties (e.g. viscosity) can be changed by applying an electric field or a magnetic field. [1] [2] [3]The most developed smart fluids today are fluids whose viscosity increases when a magnetic field is applied.
In physics, a fluid is a liquid, gas, or other material that may continuously move and deform (flow) under an applied shear stress, or external force. [1] They have zero shear modulus, or, in simpler terms, are substances which cannot resist any shear force applied to them.
Fionn Miguel Eckardt Ferreira (from Ballydehob, County Cork, Ireland) is an Irish inventor, chemistry student and Forbes 30 under 30 listee. He is known for his invention of a method to remove microplastic particles from water using a natural ferrofluid mixture.
