Abstract
In order to provide sufficient heat without overheating healthy tissue in magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), a careful design of the magnetic properties of nanoparticles is essential. We perform a systematic calculation of magnetic properties of Ni-alloy nanoparticles. Stoner-Wohlfarth model based theories (SWMBTs) are considered and the linear response theory (LRT) is used to extract the hysteresis loop of nickel alloy nanoparticles in alternating magnetic fields. It is demonstrated that in the safe range of magnetic field intensity and frequency the LRT cannot be used for the calculation of the area in the hysteresis for magnetic fields relevant for hyperthermia. The best composition and...

Abstract
The present work investigates the thermal performance of a five turn Open Loop Pulsating Heat Pipe (OLPHP). The effects of working fluid namely water and ferrofluid, heat input, ferrofluid concentration, charging ratio, and orientation will be considered. Experimental results show that using ferrofluids can enhance the thermal performance in comparison with the case of distilled water. In addition, applying a magnetic field on the OLPHP charged with ferrofluid reduces its thermal resistance. Variation of the ferrofluid concentration results in different thermal performance of the OLPHP. Best charging ratio for the distilled water and ferrofluid without magnetic field is 60 % in most of the...

Abstract
In this paper, the thermal conductivity of water-based hematite Fe2O3 and magnetite Fe3O4 nanofluids have been investigated in the absence and presence of a uniform magnetic field. The experiments have been performed in the volume concentration range of 0 % to 4.8 % and the temperature range of 20∘C to 60∘C. The effects of the particle volume fraction, temperature, and magnetic field strength on the thermal conductivity have been analyzed. Results show that the thermal conductivity of iron oxide nanofluids has a direct relation with the particle volume fraction and temperature, without the presence of a magnetic field. But surprisingly, when the magnetic field is applied, it is observed that...

Abstract
The magnetic convection heat transfer in an obstructed two-dimensional square cavity is investigated numerically. The walls of the cavity are heated with different constant temperatures at two sides, and isolated at two other sides. The cavity is filled with a high Prandtl number ferrofluid. The convective force is induced by a magnetic field gradient of a thermally insulated square permanent magnet located at the center of the cavity. The results are presented in the forms of streamlines, isotherms, and Nusselt number for various values of magnetic Rayleigh numbers and permanent magnet size. Two major circulations are generated in the cavity, clockwise flow in the upper half and...

Abstract
In this article, the influences of ferrofluid and magnetic field on the reactive absorption in packed-bed contactors have been investigated. Because of importance of carbon dioxide emission as a global concern, absorption of carbon dioxide was chosen to investigate these effects. In this regard, multitube approach was applied to model the contactor. The simulation results were validated against experimental data reported in the literature in the absence of nanoparticles and magnetic field and good agreement was obtained. Moreover, influences of various operating conditions on the contactor performance were investigated. It was found that for 3.4 vol.% of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), the...

In this work, forced-convection heat transfer of magnetic-sensitive nanofluids has been investigated in the presence of rotating magnetic field. In this regard, the laminar, Newtonian, incompressible, and two-dimensional (2D) fluid flow in a horizontal duct subject to constant wall temperature boundary condition was modeled. Moreover, the fluid was supposed to be non-electrical conductive and the magnetic field source comprised of two time varying components perpendicular to each other. Influences of magnetic field intensity and frequency, inlet fluid velocity, and spin viscosity on the forced-convection heat transfer of the magnetic nanofluids were investigated.

Abstract
In this article, the effects of nonuniform magnetic fields on the hydrodynamics and heat transfer from a heated sphere to its surrounding ferrofluid flow have been investigated. Kelvin body forces originate from the nonuniformity of the applied magnetic field and can generate the vortices behind the sphere leading to a considerable change in the velocity and temperature fields. The applied magnetic field disturbs the thermal boundary layer and decreases heat-transfer resistance, leading to a significant enhancement in the heat-transfer coefficient. Variations of the local and average Nusselt number value (Nu), separation angle, recirculation length, and drag coefficient were considered to...
