Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of characterization technology of the physical properties of magnetic liquids, and in particular to a device and method for measuring the interfacial tension coefficient of magnetic liquids. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetic fluids are colloidal systems formed by nanoscale ferromagnetic particles coated with surfactants suspended in a liquid medium, and are widely used in engineering fields such as sealing and lubrication. In practical applications, when another immiscible liquid is in contact with the magnetic fluid, the interfacial tension between them is a key factor determining the flow characteristics of the magnetic fluid and the shape of the interface between the two liquids. Therefore, accurately measuring the interfacial tension coefficient between a specific magnetic fluid and another immiscible liquid is crucial for accurately establishing a magnetic fluid flow model.
[0003] In existing technologies, methods for obtaining interfacial tension coefficients include tensiometer-based methods, such as the Du Nouy ring and Wilhelmy plate methods, or indirect methods by observing the shape of suspended droplets or measuring the rise of the liquid level in a capillary. However, when using these methods to measure the interfacial tension coefficient of magnetic fluids, the interface is curved, causing a significant change in the direction of the magnetic field lines relative to the applied magnetic field. In this case, the influence of interfacial tension must be separated from the magnetic field effect, resulting in ambiguity in the results when using traditional tensiometer methods. On the other hand, when studying interfacial tension under the influence of a magnetic field, the interfacial deformation caused by the magnetic field can affect the measurement results of traditional methods.
