Experimental investigation of thermal conductivity of magnetic nanofluids

Abstract

Two different magnetic nanofluids comprising of magnetite and Mn-Zn ferrite particles were synthesized in light hydrocarbon oil using continuous chemical process. Powder XRD and TEM image show single phase spinel structure with size of 10 nm and 6.7 nm, respectively for magnetite and Mn-Zn ferrite. Thermal conductivity of nanofluids has been studied as a function of volume fraction under transverse magnetic field. Magnetite nanofluid shows 17% enhancements in thermal conductivity for 4.7% volume fraction while Mn-Zn ferrite shows 45% enhancement at 10% volume fraction. In presence of transverse magnetic field the magnetite nanofluids shows further enhancement from 17% to 30% while no change in thermal conductivity has been observed for Mn-Zn ferrite. These results are explained considering the dipolar coupling co-efficient which for magnetite particles favors chain structures.
