“…10 Comparison between present viscosity values and data in Refs. [16,22] at the shear rate of 73.38 s −1 These results, from Figs. 12 and 13, indicate that the Colace is recommended as the optimal surfactant for the reduction of the viscosity of the Fe 3 O 4 -water nanofluid, whereas the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is recommended for the CNT-water nanofluids.…”

“…They found that the viscosity of the nanofluid depended on the nanoparticle material and decreased with an increase in the particle size. Wang et al [16] experimentally studied effects of magnetic field, solid volume concentration, and temperature on viscosity of a Fe 3 O 4 -water nanofluid. It was observed that compared with 0.5 vol% nanofluid, the viscosity of 5.0 vol% Fe 3 O 4 nanofluid increased by 22.5% at 293 K. Yang et al [17] proposed a theoretical model to predict viscosity of water-based Newtonian nanofluids.…”

The effect of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the viscosity of a nanofluid is experimentally investigated from 278 to 313 K by changing the nanoparticle volume fraction. These nanoparticles were put into distilled water with various surfactants, i.e., Colace (docusate sodium), trisodium citrate dihydrate (TSC), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), acacia senegal (GA), sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and sodium laurylsulfonate (SLS). Based on the present measurements, new empirical formulas are proposed for Fe 3 O 4-water, CNT-water and Fe 3 O 4-CNT-water nanofluids to provide accurate predictions for the nanofluid viscosity. Based on the viscosity testing, stabilities and thermal conductivities of Fe 3 O 4-TMAH, Fe 3 O 4-Colace, Fe 3 O 4-TSC, CNT-SDS, CNT-GA, Fe 3 O 4-CNT-SLS, and Fe 3 O 4-CNT-TSC nanofluids with a volume concentration of 0.5% are investigated in the present research. Results indicate that better stability, smaller viscosity, and higher thermal conductivity are obtained, when the surfactants TMAH, SDS, and SLS are added into the Fe 3 O 4-water, CNT-water, and the Fe 3 O 4-CNT-water nanofluid, respectively. The CNT-water and Fe 3 O 4-CNT-water nanofluids exhibit a shear-thinning behavior, whereas a linear rheological behavior can be observed by water-based Colace-Fe 3 O 4 , TMAH-Fe 3 O 4 , and TSC-Fe 3 O 4 nanofluids.

Magnetically Enhanced Marangoni Convection for Efficient Mass and Heat Transfer like a Self‐Driving Liquid Conveyor Belt

Temperature gradient-induced Marangoni convection has attracted much attention for basic research and applications since it provides an effective means for mass and heat transfer through a liquid surface flow. Here the authors first propose a general principle to enhance such surface flow by hindering its transition to recirculation flow using an external field. They subsequently identify ferrofluid and use it validate the principle since its reduced magnetic susceptibility at higher temperatures will make the heated surface liquid stay on the surface by a thermomagnetic body force. Using a laser beam to create a heated local surface and a magnet beneath the ferrofluid to provide a vertical field, a high speed and long-range Marangoni flow is confirmed experimentally and further supported by computational fluid dynamics simulations. To demonstrate possible applications, the authors show a self-driving pipeless liquid conveyor belt that can efficiently transfer heat from a source to sink without external power. The demonstration of enhanced Marangoni convection opens new avenue to explore interfacial fluid dynamics and its wide applications.

Ferrohydrodynamic pumps, with their compact design, offer a practical and efficient alternative to traditional pneumatic or mechanical pumps for driving microfluidic channels and fluidic devices, eliminating mechanical vibrations. A novel self‐circulating ferrohydrodynamic system has been developed to remotely control fluid flow within a linear acoustic cavity using a laser‐induced photothermal temperature gradient. This system enables the modulation of fluid flow rates in compact channels through adjustments in a D.C. magnetic field or laser‐induced surface temperature changes. Notably, laser intensity can accelerate, decelerate, or reverse flow rates within the channel, influencing ultrasonic waves propagating through fluidic cavities designed to resonate between 500 kHz and 700 kHz. The dynamic nature of the magnetoactive fluid cavity enhances wave‐matter interactions, particularly in acoustic domains. Laser‐induced flow control allows for precise manipulation of ultrasonic wave characteristics such as frequency, amplitude, mode splitting, phase shifting, and unidirectional transmission. This capability also supports the optical regulation of acoustic energy flow rates by halting or reversing fluid motion within the cavity. These advancements hold significant potential for applications in cavity acoustodynamics and underwater signal processing, promising innovations in remote fluidic control and acoustic modulation technologies.
