Influence of carbon nanotubes on the dissipation of disturbances in a magnetic fluid layer

Abstract

In this paper, processes of dissipation of disturbances of pressure and velocity in a magnetic fluid layer are experimentally studied. It is shown that the introduction of multi-layer carbon nanotubes (MCNT) up to 2wt.% into a magnetic fluid substantially increases the dissipation of disturbances due to increasing viscous friction and elastic properties of multilayer carbon nanotubes.
