Diffusive and thermodiffusive transfer of magnetic nanoparticles in porous media

Abstract: Experimental results on mass transfer within a thin porous layer saturated with ferrofluid are outlined in this paper. From the analysis of particle concentration distribution across the layer it is shown that both the mass diffusion and the Soret coefficients of nanoparticles are remarkably less than those measured in free fluid. The particle transport coefficient changes due to an external uniform magnetic field qualitatively well agree with the predictions of existing theoretical research. The magnetic fiel… Show more

“…Previous research has shown that oily ferrofluids in a porous environment can present a decrease in thermally induced particle transport [15] for a wide range of such colloidal dispersions [16,17]. It has also been shown that surfactant addition further decreases Soret coefficient in a porous medium and that, at a sufficient concentration of excess surfactant, the particle transfer direction in a temperature gradient can be inverted [17].…”

“…Their subjects are listed here, in no particular order. A number of papers report experimental measurements of mass diffusion, Soret and thermodiffusion coefficients in binary and/or ternary fluid mixtures, whether in free media or in a porous matrix [12][13][14][15]. Some papers describe experiments [14,16,17] or theory [18] on non-equilibrium fluctuations in multi-component fluids under thermal stress, a theme that we suggest as very promising for the future developments of non-equilibrium thermodynamics.…”

“…Another group of papers deals with convection induced by the coupling of buoyancy with density gradients driven by the combined effects of temperature and concentration gradients [19][20][21][22][23][24]. The behaviour of ferro-fluids and/or colloids is experimentally and numerically studied in two papers [15,25]. Two other papers report an experimental [17] and a numerical study [26] of the behaviour of a binary mixture close to its critical consolute temperature.…”
