Magnetic fluid seal is characterized by its simple design, low friction and being dustless. Those advantages are deduced from the fact that the sealing element is not a solid such as rubber or plastic but it is a fluid. Those are critical for application to a rotating shaft which is inserted into a vacuum chamber where high level of vacuum and cleanness are required. For the reason the magnetic fluid seal has become a standard for vacuum chambers for semiconductor and LCD processing. It should be noted that its sealing performance is sensitive to temperature. If necessary, water cooling should be considered. Thus anticipation of the temperature distribution of the magnetic fluid seal is important before applying it. In this paper an FEM analysis of the heat transfer has been executed and compared with experimental results. An overall convective heat transfer coefficient has been adopted for the analysis, which results in satisfactory consistency of the theoretical and experimental results.

자성유체 유체씰에 사용할 수 있는 마그네타이트를 공침법에 의하여 합성하였다. 마그네타이트의 평균입자크기는 동적광산란 측정장치(DLS)에 의해 약 10-12 nm 로 측정되었다. XRD 측정결과, $NH_4OH$ 의 농도가 증가함에 따라 마그네타이트의 결정화도가 증가하였다. 수중 분산된 자성유체의 제타전위는 -49.3 mV 에서 -26.2 mV 까지 DLS에 의하여 측정되었다. 입자의 형상은 구형이었고, 수상과 유상 자성유체에서 스파이킹 효과를 확인하였다.
