본 연구는 자성유체 우퍼 스피커 내부에 위치한 보이스 코일의 입력전류에 따른 열전달 특성을 수치 해석적으로 고찰하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 일반 우퍼 스피커 및 자성유체 우퍼 스피커에 대하여 입력전류를 10W에서 50W로 10W씩 변화시켜가면서 입력전류에 따른 보이스 코일 발열 및 각 부품으로 전달되는 열전달 및 온도 특성 변화를 고찰하였다. 그 결과 우퍼 스피커에 공급되는 입력전류가 증가함에 따라 보이스 코일 온도가 선형적으로 증가하였고 자성유체 우퍼 스피커의 보이스 코일 온도가 일반 우퍼 스피커에 비하여 동일 입력 전류 40 W 기준에서 51.0 % 감소하였고, 동일 보이스 코일 발생 온도 490 K 기준에서 필요 입력전류는 42.5 % 감소하였다. 또한 보이스 코일에서 주변 부품으로 열전달은 자성유체 우퍼 스피커가 일반 우퍼 스피커에 비하여 51.7 % 증가하였다.

Magnetite powder for kerosene-based ferrofluid was synthesized by air oxidation of waste acid containing $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ ions in the pH=11 at $60^{\circ}C$. Stable kerosen-based ferrofluid was prepared by addition of polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether(POENPE) to the magnetite containing water. Dispersion mechanism of an addition POENPE to the magnetite was examined by means of the fraction of solid dispersed FT-IR spectrum. And magnetic properties of kerosen-based ferrofluid were examined by method of Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. In order to remove oil on the water surface by an addition of kerosen-based ferrofluid, the optimum conditions were examined.

Magnetic properties of magnetite ferrofluid are studied by measuring magnetic weights under different magnetic fields with a conventional electronic balance. Magnetite nanoparticles of 11 nm diameter are synthesized to make the ferrofluid. Magnetization calculated from the magnetic weight reveals the hysteresis and deviates from the Langevin function at high magnetic fields. Magnetic weight shifts instantaneously with magnetic field change by Neel and Brown mechanism. When high magnetic field is applied to the sample, slower change of magnetic weight is accompanied with the instantaneous shift via agglomeration of nanoparticles. The slow change of the magnetic weight shows the stretched exponential kinetics. The temporal change of the magnetic weight and the magnetization of the ferrofluid at high magnetic fields suggest that the superparamagnetic sample turns into superspin glass by strong magnetic interparticle interactions.

This paper investigates the concept and implementation of an energy harvesting device using a ferrofluid sloshing movement to generate an electromotive force (EMF). Ferrofluids are often applied to energy harvesting devices because they have both magnetic properties and fluidity, and they behave similarly to a soft ferromagnetic substance. In addition, a ferrofluid can change its shape freely and generate an EMF from small vibrations. The existing energy harvesting techniques, for example those using piezoelectric and thermoelectric devices, generate minimal electric power, as low as a few micro-watts. Through flow analysis of ferrofluids and examination of the magnetic circuit characteristics of the resultant electromagnetic system, an energy harvester model based on an electromagnetic field generated by a ferrofluid is developed and proposed. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is demonstrated and its EMF characteristics are discussed based on experimental data.

Ferrofluids are a special category of smart nanomaterials which shows normal liquid behavior coupled with superparamagnetic properties. One of the earliest and most prospective applications of ferrofluids is in damping, which has prominent advantages compared with conventional damping devices: simplicity, flexibility and reliability. This paper presents the basic principles that play a major role in the design of ferrofluid damping devices. The characteristics of typical ferrofluid damping devices including dampers, vibration isolators, and dynamic vibration absorbers are compared and summarized, and then recent progress of vibration energy harvesters based on ferrofluid is briefly described. Additionally, we proposed a novel ferrofluid dynamic vibration absorber in this paper, and its damping efficiency was verified with experiments. In the end, the critical problems and research directions of the ferrofluid damping technology in the future are raised.

본 연구에서는 구형(sphere) 용기 내 작동유체로 물과 자성유체(ferrofluid)를 사용하였을 경우의 구형 용기의 병진 운동에 따른 슬로싱(sloshing) 현상에 대하여 실험적으로 고찰하였고 두 가지 작동유체에서 나타나는 특성을 비교하였다. 구형 용기의 병진운동에 따른 슬로싱 현상을 고찰하기 위하여, 자기장(magnetic field)을 0 mT에서 50 mT로 변화시키고, 가진 진폭을 5 mm에서 15 mm로 변화시켜가면서 실험을 수행하였다. 결과적으로, 구형 용기내의 자성유체는 자기장를 인가하지 않았을 때 물과 유사한 액면거동 현상을 나타내었고, 자성유체에 인가되는 자기장 세기가 증가할수록 공진점(resonance point) 발생이 이론공진주파수(theoretical resonance frequency)보다 높은 영역에서 발생함을 확인하였다. 즉 용기 내 슬로싱은 자성유체를 사용할 경우 인가 자기장의 크기에 따라 공진점이 발생하는 공진주파수를 제어할 수 있으며 액면 변위의 크기를 제어할 수 있었다.

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.

An inverse ferrofluid composed of micron sized polymethylmethacrylate particles dispersed in ferrofluid was used to investigate the effects of test duration times on determining the flow curves of these materials under constant magnetic field. The results showed that flow curves determined using low duration times were most likely not measuring the steady state rheological response. However, at longer duration times, which are expected to correspond more to steady state behaviour, we noticed the occurrence of plateau and decreasing flow curves in the shear rate range of $0.004\;s^{-1}$ to ${\sim}20\;s^{-1}$, which suggest the presence of nonhomogeneities and shear localization in the material. This behaviour was also reflected in the steady state results from shear start up tests performed over the same range of shear rates. The results indicate that care is required when interpreting flow curves obtained for inverse ferrofluids.

We have designed, fabricated and tested an integrated microfluidic chip with a Planar Hall Effect (PHE) sensor. The sensor was constructed by sequentially sputtering Ta/NiFe/Cu/NiFe/IrMn/Ta onto glass. The microfluidic channel was fabricated with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) using soft lithography. Magnetic nanoparticles suspended in hexadecane were used as ferrofluid, of which the saturation magnetisation was 3.4 emu/cc. Droplets of ferrofluid were generated in a T-junction of a microfluidic channel after hydrophilic modification of the PDMS. The size and interval of the droplets were regulated by pressure on the ferrofluid channel inlet. The PHE sensor detected the flowing droplets of ferrofluid, as expected from simulation results. The shape of the signal was dependent on both the distance of the magnetic droplet from the sensor and the droplet length. The sensor was able to detect a magnetic moment of $2{\times}10^{-10}$ emu at a distance of 10 ${\mu}m$. This study provides an enhanced understanding of the magnetic parameters of ferrofluid in a microfluidic channel using a PHE sensor and will be used for a sample inlet module inside of integrated magnetic lab-on-a-chip systems for the analysis of biomolecules.

This paper deals with the dynamic stability of nanocomposite pipes conveying pulsating ferrofluid. The pipe is reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) where the agglomeration of CNTs are considered based on Mori-Tanaka model. Due to the existence of CNTs and ferrofluid flow, the structure and fluid are subjected to axial magnetic field. Based on Navier-Stokes equation and considering the body forced induced by magnetic field, the external force of fluid to the pipe is derived. For mathematical modeling of the pipe, the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used where the energy method and Hamilton's principle are used for obtaining the motion equations. Using harmonic differential quadrature method (HDQM) and Bolotin's method, the motion equations are solved for calculating the excitation frequency and dynamic instability region (DIR) of the structure. The influences of different parameters such as volume fraction and agglomeration of CNTs, magnetic field, structural damping, viscoelastic medium, fluid velocity and boundary conditions are shown on the DIR of the structure. Results show that with considering agglomeration of CNTs, the DIR shifts to the lower excitation frequencies. In addition, the DIR of the structure will be happened at higher excitation frequencies with increasing the magnetic field.
