AbstractThe paper investigates the effect of a static magnetic field on the helical flow of an incompressible cholestenc liquid crystal with director of unit magnitude between two coaxial circular cylinders rotating with different angular velocities about their common axis and moving with different axial velocities. At low shear rates with a weak magnetic field in the axial direction, the axial velocity, the angular velocity and the orientation of molecules between the two cylinders have been obtained. It is found that the magnetic field has influenced the orientation of molecules while the axial velocity and the angular velocity remain uneffected by the magnetic field.

We explain the motion of a micron-sized ferromagnetic disc immersed in a nematic liquid crystal under the action of a weak magnetic field using numerical simulations. We show that the disc's behaviour can be controlled by the angular speed of the magnetic field and its magnitude.

Purpose – The analysis of the flow field and heat transfer around a tube row or tube banks wrapped with porous layer have many related engineering applications. Examples include the reactor safety analysis, combustion, compact heat exchangers, solar power collectors, high-performance insulation for buildings and many another applications. The purpose of this paper is to perform a numerical study on flows passing through two circular cylinders in side-by-side arrangement wrapped with a porous layer under the influence of a magnetic field. The authors focus the attention to the effects of magnetic field, Darcy number and pitch ratio on the mechanism of convection heat transfer and flow structures. Design/methodology/approach – The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model for simulating the flow in porous medium along with the Maxwell equations for providing the coupling between the flow field and the magnetic field have been used. Equations with the relevant boundary conditions are numerically solved using a finite volume approach. In this study, Stuart and Darcy numbers are varied within the range of 0 < N < 3 and 1e-6 < Da < 1e-2, respectively, and Reynolds and Prandtl numbers are equal to Re=100 and Pr=0.71, respectively. Findings – The results show that the drag coefficient decreases for N < 0.6 and increases for N > 0.6. Also, the effect of magnetic field is negligible in the gap between two cylinders because the magnetic field for two cylinders counteracts each other in these regions. Originality/value – To the authors knowledge, in the open literature, flow passing over two circular cylinders in side-by-side arrangement wrapped with a porous layer has been rarely investigated especially under the influence of a magnetic field.

Why only a small fraction of quasars are radio loud?

The Magnetic Field

AbstractIt is still a mystery why only a small fraction of quasars contain relativistic jets. A strong magnetic field is a necessary ingredient for jet formation. Gas falls from the Bondi radius RB nearly freely to the circularization radius Rc, and a thin accretion disk is formed within Rc We suggest that the external weak magnetic field threading interstellar medium is substantially enhanced in this region, and the magnetic field at Rc can be sufficiently strong to drive outflows from the disk if the angular velocity of the gas is low at RB. In this case, the magnetic field is efficiently dragged in the disk, because most angular momentum of the disk is removed by the outflows that lead to a significantly high radial velocity. The strong magnetic field formed in this way may accelerate jets in the region near the black hole, either by the Blandford-Payne or/and Blandford-Znajek mechanisms. If the angular velocity of the circumnuclear gas is low, the field advection in the thin disk is inefficient, and it will appear as a radio-quiet (RQ) quasar.

Magnetic sensors offer many essential benefits: they enable contactless and thus without wear measurement of mechanical amounts of such as the rotation angle and angular velocity. And are a powerful and economical solution. In this work became a successful attempt to detect and record the noise of a Anisotropic Magnetoresistors (AMR) sensor, hte HMC2003, which manufactured by Honeywell Inc. was tested for its ability to detect the magnetic field and as well as how the corruption, which are involved due to the noise.

Rotating Stratified Fluid

We examine the hydromagnetic stability of a radially stratified fluid rotating between two coaxial cylinders, with particular emphasis on the case when the angular velocity greatly exceeds both buoyant and Alfvén frequencies. If the magnetic field is predominantly azimuthal instabilities then have an essentially non-axisymmetric and wavelike character. Various bounds on their phase speeds and growth rates are derived, including a ‘quadrant’ theorem analogous to Howard's semicircle theorem for Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. Their strong tendency to propagate against the basic rotation (i.e. ‘westward’), previously noted by the author in the study of a more simplified (homogeneous) model, seems relatively insensitive to the generation mechanism (e.g. unstable gradient of magnetic field, angular velocity or density), but a number of counterexamples show that this constraint need not apply if the magnetic field displays significant spatial variations of direction as well as magnitude and that eastward-propagating amplifying modes are then possible.

The dynamic behavior of a mixture of 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) with 1% CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was analyzed. Experimental data indicate a high stability of the nematic director in the mixture compared to a reference 5CB sample in the magnetic field. The ferrite nanoparticles agglomerate forming long chains as observed in polarized microscopy images. These chains have a very high influence on the magneto-optic effect of the cell. When the magnetic field is applied on the mixture, the chains tend to align with the field direction but, due to their large size, they remain oriented obliquely between the support plates. Thus, the nematic molecules anchored on their surface can not reorient with the field and only a small distortion angle of the liquid crystal molecular director is observed. A comparison with a previously developed theoretical model confirms this small deviation.

The Magnetic Field

The TC4 titanium alloy was subjected to high static magnetic field (HSMF) treatment with different magnetic induced intensities (B=0、1T、2T、3T、4T、5T、6T and 7T). The effects of B on the texture, dislocation density, grain size, tensile properties and micro-hardness of TC4 titanium alloy were investigated, and the influence mechanism of magneto-plastic effect on the plastic deformation ability of titanium alloy was also been studied. The results showed that the dislocation density had been increased after the HSME treatment. It reached a maximum when B=2 T, which was enhanced by 1.6 times compared to that of the untreated samples. In the view of quantum scale,the magnetic field promoted the transition of radical pairs from singlet to triplet state, which caused the movement of dislocation, led to the dislocation depinning from the depinning center, and increased the flexibility of dislocation. Subsequently, the inevitability of optimized 2T parameter was further discussed in the dislocation pile-up. Furthermore, the magnetic field not only promoted the orientation preference of crystal plane along the slipping direction, but also had the effect on the grain refinement. Meanwhile the elongation had been increased due to HSMF treatment. The average elongation of TC4 alloy was 13.12% which was enhanced by 31.07% compared to that of the untreated sample which was 10.01%. And, the elongation increased with the increment of magnetic induction intensity B. The HSME treatment could also play a role in hardening alloys. When B=2 T the micro-hardness was 344.88 HV, which was increased by 8.09% compared to that without treatment. The micro-hardness was consistent with the change of the "point" of the dislocation density, which was characterized by dislocation strengthening.
