Water-based magnetic fluids containing synthesized ultrafine magnetite were successfully prepared with $C_{18}$ fatty acid such as oleic acid, linoleic acid and stearic acid. Oleic acid was needed the amount of $3.0{\times}10^{-2}$ mol per 20 g magnetite to stabilize the magnetite $d\;=\;113\;\AA$ particles. From pH 8.0 to pH 11.0, stable aqueous-based fluids could be obtained. The aggregated powder after drying the water-based magnetic fluid was also successfully re-dispersed in dilute $NH_{4}OH$ solution and in kerosene. The pH levels of the magnetic fluid using oleic acid system could be predicted by the pH values obtained by calculation of therrrodynamic data.

Natural convection of a magnetic fluid is different from that of Newtonian fluids because magnetic body force exists in an addition to gravity and buoyancy. In this paper, natural convection of a magnetic fluids (W-40) in annular pipes was studied by experimentally. Inside wall was kept at a constant temperature (25 $^{\circ}C$), and outside wall was also held at a constant but lower temperature (20 $^{\circ}C$). The magnetic fields of various magnitude were applied up. This study has resulted in the following fact that the natural convection of a magnetic fluids was controlled by the direction and intensity of the magnetic fields.

Magnetic Fluid Linear Pump(MFLP)는 자성유체의 자기적 성질과 유체의 성질을 이용하여 일반적인 펌프의 기어 대신 자성유체를 이용하여 기계적 진동이나 소음을 최소화한 시스템이다. MFLP는 구조가 간단하고 동작전류에 의해 쉽게 조절할 수 있다. MFLP의 동작전류에 의해 발생한 자기장의 정도에 따라 유연하면서 펌핑력이 높은 동작이 가능하다. 따라서 MFLP를 운전하는데 있어 동작전류의 패턴과 크기, 중첩정도에 따른 펌핑력이 변하게 되며, 이에 따른 자기장과 관내의 자성유체의 형상을 해석하여 유연하고 펌핑력이 높은 MFLP의 운전방식을 개발하고자 하였다.

This work describes the experimental investigations on sloshing characteristics of water and ferrofluid as working fluids in the spherical container with the horizontal oscillation motion and compared the results obtained by two working fluids. In order to Investigate the sloshing characteristics of the sphere container with the horizontal oscillation, experiments are performed with the magnetic intensities from 0 mT to 50 mT and horizontal oscillation motions from 5 mm to 15 mm. As results, Ferrofluid without magnetic field in the sphere container showed a similar liquid surface movement with water. The resonance point of the ferrofluid in the sphere container happened at higher value than that of the theoretical resonance frequency with the rise of the magnetic field. In addition, the sloshing characteristics of the ferrofluid in the sphere container can be controlled with the resonance frequency with the magnetic intensity and the liquid surface displacement could be also controlled.

자성유체는 암 치료와 질병진단 등과 같은 다양한 분야에서 유용한 응용의 가능성을 갖는다 [1]. 생리적 염도인 중성 pH에서 생체조직과 잘 교합하고, 높은 안정성을 가지는 자성유체는 자성 나노입자 표면에 화학적으로 흡착된 계면활성제 종류에 따라 달라진다 [2]. 본 실험에서는 화학적 공침법을 이용하여 Fe$^{2+}$와 Fe$^{3+}$ 의 몰비가 1:2인 수용액에 pH 12 이상의 과잉 알칼리(NH$_4$OH 12ml)를 첨가시켜 마그네타이트 콜로이드 용액을 제조하였다. 광감제로는 hematoporphyin을 사용하였으며 투입량은 1$\times$$10^{-3}$mol/l 였다. 또한 1차 및 2차 계면활성제로는 decanoic acid와 starch, citric acid, oleic acid 등이 각각 사용되었다. 각 계면활성제가 코팅된 자성미립자의 특성을 조사하기 위해 동결 건조 후 VSM, FT-IR 및 TEM 분석을 수행하여 자기적 특성과 코팅표면의 결합구조 및 미시적 구조를 분석하였다. 그리고, 각각의 계면활성제가 코팅된 자성유체의 독성을 조사하기 위해 rat를 이용한 생체실험이 병행되었다.

Magnetic fluids have been used in the commercial area, e. g damping, sealing and hydrodynamic bearing. In this study, magnetic fluid was made for damping in loudspeaker. The magnetic fluids were snthesized by dispersing the magnetite powder which was obtained by precipitation method in Yubase oil. When the magnetic fluid was applied to a 6 cm tweeter, improvements of damping, centering and heat transger in a loudspeaker were noted. Also we compared the performance of the magnetic fluid with 20 % magnetite in the oil and the one of APG-815 (Niphon Ferrofluidic Co.)

본 연구에서는 포화지방산으로 피복된 초미립 마그네타이트(Magnetite, Fe$_{3}$ $O_{4}$) 중에 nonanoic acid가 용해되어 있는 알칼리 수용액을 첨가한 후, 이들 슬러리(slurry)를 건조하여 kerosene에 분산시켜 유상자성유체를 제조하였다. Stearic acid 첨가량에 따른 분산율의 변화를 조사한 결과 stearic acid 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 분사율은 증가하였으나, 2.6 * $10^{-2}$ mol 이상에서는 분산율이 78%로 감소하 였다. Stearic acid로 피복된 마그네타이트에 의해 유상자성유체제조시 분산안정제로서 사용된 nonanoic acid 첨가량에 따른 분산율의 변화를 조사한 결과 nonanoic acid 를 첨가하지 않은 경우 분산이 일어나지 않았으나, nonanoic acid를 첨가함에 따라 분산율은 급격히 증가하였다. 포화지방산을 계면활성제로 사용하여 흡착-유기상 분산 법에 의해 유상자성유체를 제조한 결과, $C_{12}$ ~ $C_{16}$ 지방산을 사용하여 유상자성유체를 제조할 경우 20% 내외의 분산율을 나타내었다. 분산제로서 Nonanoic acid를 사용하여 유상자성유체를 제조할 경우 $C_{10}$ 지방산으로 제조한 유상자성 유체는 분산이 일어나지 않았으나, C 사슬의 길이가 증가함에 따라서 분산율은 급격히 증가하였으며 $C_{15}$ 지방산 부터는 90% 이상의 분산율을 나타내었다.

Compared with Newtonial fluids, magnetic fluids have effects on magnetic force. In this study, the purpose is to research the heat transfer characteristic of magnetic fluids which have metalic and fluid characteristics as the external pipe is being cooled and internal pipe is heated. This study found the experimental results from the study of the variety of natural convection for magnetic fluids and the characteristics of the heat transfer by using numerical analysis according to the strength and direction of the magnetic fields from being imposed from the outside. Natural convection of magnetic fluids was controlled by the impressed magnetic fields, and the result of mean nusselt number was calculated. If the impressed magnetic field is in the direction of gravity or the strength of impressed magnetic field is more than -14 mT in the opposite direction, the heat transfer is more than that without the impressed magnetic field. If the strength of impressed magnetic field is less than -14 mT in the opposite direction, it is smaller than that without the impressed magnetic field. Especially, when the strength of the magnetic field is -14 mT, the heat transfer was at the minimum.

Magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by thermal decomposition and adsorbed with lecithin by applying ultrasonic. The size and saturation magnetization of magnetic nanoparticles were observed with different lecithin concentration, and the maximum tolerated dose (HTD) and toxicity of magnetic fluid was investigated through a biological test. The thickness of lecithin-adsorption layer increased non-linearly with increasing amounts of added lecithin, and the desirable adsorption amount was observed in the lecithin concentration of 20%(w/v). The dispersibility and magnetic properties of lecithin-adsorbed magnetic nanoparticles were most excellent when the ultrasonic exposure time was 1.5h. Also, the maximum tolerated concentration with best cell viability was $32{\mu}g/ml$ in vitro test, and lecithin-adsorbed magnetic fluids improved the biocompatibility by 1.2 times compared with bare magnetite fluids in vivo.
