Synopsis

With the coexistence of magnetic and liquid properties, magnetic fluids provide opportunities to create numerous innovative products and to solve complex technical problems. This book, for the first time, presents the whole circle of magnetic fluid application problems, including preparation of magnetic fluids, their physical properties, and the numerous technical devices based on magnetic fluids. Because they are the basis for all technical devices, the fluid mechanical and magnetic phenomena are examined in detail. The design and operational principles of numerous magnetic fluid devices, such as seals, bearings, shock-absorbers, dampers, and printers, are presented in a practical format. New technological processes (ore separation, drag reduction, heat and mass transfer enhancement) are explained in detail with a view to assisting the user with an in-depth understanding of the technology. Material in the book is presented in an accessible, user-friendly manner so that mechanical and electrical engineers as well as students and specialists in magnetic fluids will find this a useful and informative book.
