The objective of this study is experimentally to investigate natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli under rotating magnetic field with variations of the revolution and the magnetic field strength. The rotating magnetic field was provided by induction motor with 6 poles and 3 phases and the revolution and the magnetic field strength were controlled by an inverter driver and a voltage meter, respectively. Temperatures of the inner pipe and the outer pipe in the tested concentric annuli were maintained at $30^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, during the test and the direction of the rotating magnetic field was a counterclockwise. As a result, the natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli were increased with the rise of the revolution and magnetic field strength due to the increased heat dissipation between hot side and cold side of the concentric annuli.

For the combination of MRI and magnetic particle hyperthermia(MPH), we investigated the relative heating efficiency with respect to the strength of the static magnetic field under which the magnetic nanoparticles are to be heated by RF magnetic field. We performed nanoparticle heating experiments at the fringe field of 3T MRI magnet with applying the RF magnetic field perpendicularly to the static magnetic field. The static field strengths were 0T, 0.1T, 0.2T, and 0.3T. To prevent the coil heat from conducting to the nanoparticle suspension, we cooled the heating solenoid coil with temperature-controlled water with applying heat insulators between the solenoid coil and the nanoparticle container. We observed significant decrease of heat generation, up to 6% at 0.3T(100% at 0T), due to the magnetic saturation of the nanoparticles of 15 nm diameter under the static field. We think MPH is still feasible at low magnetic field lower than 0.3T if stronger RF magnetic field generation is permitted.

In this study, the influence of the magnetic field on ferrite slurry's injection time during the slurry forming process was investigated. The evaluation system of the slurry's injection time under the strong magnetic field was designed with FEM and manufactured. Studied parameters were the applied magnetic field, the input pressure of the slurry, and the supplying tube materials. As the results, the injection time was increased with the external magnetic field strength and rapidly decreased with increasing the input pressure of the slurry. Also the injection time was decreased when the supplying tube was manufactured with the magnetic material having the higher magnetic permeability than the ferrite.

When the equipment which is related to safety or important to power production is installed in nuclear power plant units (NPPs), verification of equipment Electromagnetic Susceptibility (EMS) must be performed. The low-frequency radiated magnetic field susceptibility (RS101) test is one of the EMS tests specified in U.S NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.180 revision 1. The RS101 test verifies the ability of equipment installed in close proximity to sources of large radiated magnetic fields to withstand them. However, RG 1.180 revision 1 allows for an exemption of the low-frequency radiated magnetic susceptibility (RS101) test if the safety-related equipment will not be installed in areas with strong sources of magnetic fields. There is no specific exemption criterion in RG 1.180 revision 1. EPRI TR-102323 revision 4 specifically provides a guide that the low-frequency radiated magnetic field susceptibility (RS101) test can be conservatively exempted for equipment installed at least 1 m away from the sources of large magnetic fields (>300 A/m). But there is no exemption criterion for equipment installed within 1 m of the sources of smaller magnetic fields (<300 A/m). Since some types of equipment radiating magnetic flux are often installed near safety related equipment in an electrical equipment room (EER) and main control room (MCR), the RS101 test exemption criterion needs to be reasonably defined for the cases of installation within 1 m. There is also insufficient data regarding the strength of magnetic fields that can be used in NPPs. In order to ensure confidence in the RS101 test exemption criterion, we measured the strength of low-frequency radiated magnetic fields by distance. This study is expected to provide an insight into the RS101 test exemption criterion that meets the RG 1.180 revision 1. It also provides a margin analysis that can be used to mitigate the influence of low-frequency radiated magnetic field sources in NPPs.

At the beginning of 1930, the relations between the growth rate of plant and the magnetic field have been reported. It has been known as the magnetic field accelerates the activation of cells. But the study on the influence of magnetic field strength on the growth of plants is insufficient. In this paper, the effect of a magnetic field on the growth of radish sprouts was observed. We measured the growth of radish sprouts when the supplied magnetic field strengths are 20, 40, 60mT, respectively. We found that the rate of growth is the best when the supplied magnetic field strength is 60mT.

The phenomenology of liquid breakdown has been an area of interest for many years but is still not fully understood. Moreover, it was known that the behavior of magnetic nanoparticles in transformer oil could affect the dielectric breakdown voltage positively or negatively. In this study, we have imaged the magnetic nanoparticles in a transformer oil in-situ using an optical microscopic set-up and a microchannel according to the electric and magnetic fields applied. And we have calculated numerically dielectrophoresis and magnetophoresis forces, which must be the driving mechanisms to move magnetic nanoparticles in the fluid. It was found that when the electric field is applied the magnetic nanoparticles in the fluid experience an electrical force directed toward the place of maximum electric field strength. And when the external magnetic field is applied, the magnetic nanoparticles form long chains oriented along the direction of the field.

In this paper, we measured the heating time on the key measuring point of the meridian of the human body's left and right by using heating machine. Then, based on the fuzzy theory, this study diagnosed the each meridian's strength and weakness, After that, both the strengthening and weakening stimulus of magnetic field was applied to the dominant direction to find out how the degree of strength and weakness of the meridian changed. Ultimately, the magnetic therapy that can stimulate the magnetic field at the time of diagnosis and thereby balancing the interactive of a five system has been materialized. For the stimulation of magnetic field, a stimulating device which can change the direction and time on a specific part of the key measuring points has been developed and used. The therapeutic method is as follows. first, the strength and weakness of the meridian has been determined. Second, both the extremely weak meridian of Yin(Shade) and Yang(Shine), and the extremely strong meridian of Yin and Yang were adjusted by applying appropriate ascending and descending stimuli respectively.

In this study we use three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations to investigate how the dynamic state of emerging magnetic field is related to the twist of field lines. Emerging magnetic field forms a magnetic structure on the Sun where various kinds of activity such as solar flares, jets, and coronal mass ejections are observed. To understand the physical mechanism for producing such activity, we have to know the dynamic nature of this structure. Since flares are the manifestation of rapidly dissipating electric current in the corona, we also investigate the distribution of current density inside the structure and examine how it depends on the field-line twist. To demonstrate the dynamic structure of emerging magnetic field, we focus on the factors characterizing the geometric property and stratification of emerging magnetic field, such as the curvature of field line and the scale height of field strength. These two factors show that emerging field forms a two-part structure in which the central part is close to a force-free state while the outer marginal part is in a fairly dynamic state where magnetic pressure force is dominant. We discuss how the field-line twist affects the two-part structure and also explain a possible relation between electric current structure and sigmoid observed in a preflare phase.

Recently, there are growing concerns about power frequency electric and magnetic fields coming out from the high voltage transmission lines, because of the wide spread perception of their probable harmful effect on human body. In connection with this trend, this paper describes the electric and magnetic fields measurement result around 154 kV and 345 kV transmission lines, a comparison of measured EMF to calculated one and the correlations between transmission lines currents and measured magnetic fields. Daily maximum and minimum magnetic field quantities under the selected 154 kV and 345 kV transmission lines had been measured for 1 year of 1997 and the average value of magnetic field exposure under the lines were calculated and presented based on the measured data.
