This paper describes analysis of journal bearings lubricated with ferrofluid, which are very suitable for high speed machines. Comparing to conventional lubricants, the coupling of hydrodynamic, thermal and magnetic properties of ferrofluid adds to the complexity in analysis. Modified Reynolds equation and energy equation are derived and solved numerically using finite volume method. Pressure distribution is got which takes temperature effect into consideration. Static characteristics are then discussed. One optimal scheme is also got according to analysis results.

Adsorption is one of the best methods for wastewater purification. The fact that water quality is continuously decreasing requires the development of novel, effective and cost available adsorbents. Herein, a simple procedure for the preparation of a magnetic adsorbent from agricultural waste biomass and ferrofluid has been introduced. Specifically, ferrofluid mixed with wheat straw was directly pyrolyzed either by microwave irradiation (900 W, 30 min) or by conventional heating ($550^{\circ}C$, 90 min). Magnetic biochars were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, textural analysis and tested as adsorbents of As(V) oxyanion and cationic methylene blue, respectively. Results showed that microwave pyrolysis produced char with high adsorption capacity of As(V) ($Q_m=25.6mg\;g^{-1}$ at pH 4), whereas conventional pyrolysis was not so effective. In comparison to conventional pyrolysis, one-step microwave pyrolysis produced a material with expressive microporosity, having a nine times higher value of specific surface area as well as total pore volume. We assumed that sorption properties are also caused by several iron-bearing composites identified by $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy ([super] paramagnetic $Fe_2O_3$, ${\alpha}-Fe$, non-stoichiometric $Fe_3C$, ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$, ${\gamma}-Fe$) transformed from nano-maghemite presented in the ferrofluid. Methylene blue was also more easily removed by magnetic biochar prepared by microwaves ($Q_m=144.9mg\;g^{-1}$ at pH 10.9) compared to using conventional techniques.

본 연구에서는 잘 배열된 나노세공 구조와 자성체 나노입자를 포함하는 메조포러스 카본(Carbonized Ni-FDU-15)을 합성하였다. Carbonized Ni-FDU-15는 구조형성 주형으로 트리블럭 공중합체(F127)를 이용하고, 카본 세공벽 형성 물질로 resol 전구체를 사용하며 질산 니켈(nickel(II) nitrate)을 금속이온 원으로 사용하여 증발유도 자기조립(Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly, EISA)과 직접 탄화과정을 거쳐서 합성되었다. 메조포러스 카본은 잘 배열된 이차원적 육방체 구조(2D-hexagonal structure)를 가진다. 한편, 세공벽 내 자성체 나노입자는 니켈(Ni) 금속과 니켈 산화물(NiO)이 생성되었다. 나노입자의 크기는 약 37 nm이었다. 그리고 Carbonized Ni-FDU-15의 표면적, 세공크기, 세공부피는 각각 $558m^2g^{-1}$, $22.5{\AA}$ 그리고 $0.5cm^3g^{-1}$이었다. Carbonized Ni-FDU-15는 외부에서 자력을 가하였을 때 자력이 가해지는 방향으로 이동함을 확인하였다. 이러한 자성체 담지 메조포러스 카본 물질은 흡착/분리, 자기 저장 매체, 자성 유체(ferrofluid), 자기 공명 영상(MRI) 및 약물 타겟팅 등의 광범위한 응용 분야에 높은 응용성을 가질 것으로 기대된다.
