Abstract

Ethylene Glaykvl- Fe4O3 magnetic Nano-fluids viscosity constant magnetic field, parallel to the flow of Nano-fluids were studied in vitro. The results showed that with increasing magnetic field strength decreases viscosity of Nano-fluids. The experiment showed that the effect of reducing the viscosity of Nano-fluids dried Nano-fluid exposed to the magnetic field increases
