Abstract
The ferrofluid dynamics theory is applied to thermodiffusive problems in
magnetic fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. The analytical form for
the magnetic part of the chemical potential and 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 a hitherto unknown transport coefficient
is made.
