Optimization and characterization of a magnetocaloric pump using ferrofluids
(2009-05)
This work presents a detailed analysis of a magnetocaloric pump for electronic cooling applications that runs with no moving mechanical parts and that uses ferrofluid (magnetic fluid) as the working fluid. Mn0.5Zn0.5 Fe2O4 ...
Development of a magnetocaloric pump for applications in heat pipes
(2005)
A device that can pump a fluid with no moving mechanical parts represents a very encouraging alternative since such device would be practically maintenance free. A magnetocaloric pump achieves this purpose by providing a ...
Analysis of thermal conductivity of ferrofluids
(2007)
In this thesis, a transient hot wire system capable to measure the thermal conductivity of fluids is designed and used to characterized different ferrofluids. For measurement purposes an electrical insulation is provided ...
