Thermodiffusive effects in magnetic fluids: application of the ferrofluid dynamics theory


Abstract

The ferrofluid dynamics theory is applied to thermodiffusive problems in magnetic fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. The most general expression of the mass flux are given. By employing these results to experiments, global Soret coefficients in agreement with measurements are determined. Also an estimate for so far unknown transport coefficient is made.
