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 ...
Study of bioheat transfer processes for hyperthermia cancer treatment
(2009)
Hyperthermia is a type of cancer treatment in which cancer cells are exposed to high temperatures (in the range 42-45°C). Research has shown that high temperatures can damage and kill cells by maintaining them in that range ...
Numerical simulation and development of a ferrofluid pumping device driven by electromagnets
(2009-12)
This thesis present a development of an Electromagnet Pumping Device (EPD) using a ferrofluid. A moving magnetic field is used as a driving force. A loop is set up with a series of solenoids which operate sequentially to ...
