Magnetic field sensing based on capillary filled with magnetic fluids
Applied Optics, 2012
A kind of magnetic field sensing system based on capillary tube filled with magnetic fluids is developed in this work. The analytical expressions for the sensing system are derived in detail. The sensitivity and other sensing properties of the system are investigated numerically and experimentally. The focal line position of the emergent light after the capillary is related with the strength of the externally applied magnetic fields and recorded and judged by the CCD to sense the magnetic field indirectly. The sensing mechanism is analyzed and ascribed to the magnetically tunable refractive index of magnetic fluids. This kind of sensing unit has the advantages of miniaturization of device, easy operation, and lower dosage of sensing media.
A hybrid transducer to magnetically and ultrasonically evaluate magnetic fluids
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 2013
Ultrasound, magnetic fields, and optical techniques have been explored for clinical diagnosis and therapy. However, these techniques have limitations. In this study, we constructed and characterized a transducer to magnetically and ultrasonically investigate samples labeled with magnetic particles. The transducer is a hybrid system consisting of an ac biosusceptometer (ACB) and an ultrasonic transducer. The basic operation principle consisted of measuring the magnetization and microvibrations of ferromagnetic particles (37 and 70 μm) mixed in yogurt and excited by an external alternating magnetic field generated by the ACB's excitation coils. The vibration of the ferromagnetic particles was measured in phantoms using a Doppler ultrasonic transducer; we verified the sensitivity to detecting the vibrations at low concentrations of ferromagnetic material (≈1%). The responses of the susceptometer and Doppler ultrasound linearly depended on the voltage level applied to the magnetizing coils at low ferromagnetic particle concentrations (≤5%). We also conducted a repeatability test on the prototype, which indicated a deviation of 0.94% and 0.25% in the Doppler and susceptometric measurements, respectively. We can conclude that the hybrid transducer technique has potential clinical applications.
Sensitivity limits of a magnetometer with an air-core pickup coil
Sensors & Transducers, 2010
Sensitivity limits of magnetometers with air-core pickup coils are considered through three basic principles, Faraday's law, the definition of inductance and Ohm's law. This paper presents two simple equivalent circuit models for voltage detection and current detection, and describes their sensitivity with eight parameters. Both models require different methodology for optimal pickup coil design. The calculated results are in agreement with experimental results, and illustrate the advantages of magnetometers based on current detection model.

In this paper, we describe a modified solenoid coil that efficiently generates high amplitude alternating magnetic fields (AMF) having field uniformity (10%) within a 125-cm 3 volume of interest. Two-dimensional finite element analysis (2D-FEA) was used to design a coil generating a targeted peak AMF amplitude along the coil axis of 100 kA/m (peak-to-peak) at a frequency of 150 kHz while maintaining field uniformity to 90% of peak for a specified volume. This field uniformity was realized by forming the turns from cylindrical sections of copper plate and by adding flux concentrating rings to both ends of the coil. Following construction, the field profile along the axes of the coil was measured. An axial peak field value of 95.8 0.4 kA/m was measured with 650 V applied to the coil and was consistent with the calculated results. The region of axial field uniformity, defined as the distance over which field 90% of peak, was also consistent with the simulated results. We describe the utility of such a device for calorimetric measurement of nanoparticle heating for cancer therapy and for magnetic fluid hyperthermia in small animal models of human cancer.

In this work a simple new type of flow sensors was developed, the double coil flow sensor. In this sensor two coils are magnetically coupled due to the flow of pure water inside them. The first coil, the primary coil, was supplied by AC voltage in the frequency range 0.5-1 MHz which is the coupling range of frequency for water. The voltage in the second coil, was found to be directly proportional with the volumetric flow rate of the water flowing inside the coils. The two coils can only be coupled in the laminar flow region. In the turbulent region, due to the turbulent chaos and fluctuation the two coils cannot be effectively coupled, and therefore the sensor cannot be used. The temperature of the water was found to have a negligible effect on the coupling, which add a good advantage to the simplicity of the double coil sensor. The working fluid used in this work was pure water. Other fluids are believed to be working as well, most probably at different frequency range, and this will be the subject of future work.
Fluid Degradation Measurement Based on a Dual Coil Frequency Response Analysis
Sensors
Electrical industry uses oils for cooling and insulation of several machines, such as power transformers. In addition, it uses water for cooling some synchronous generators. To avoid malfunctions in these assets, fluid quality should be preserved. To contribute to this aim, a sensor that detects changes in fluid composition is presented. The designed sensor is like a single-phase transformer whose magnetic core is the fluid whose properties will be measured. The response of this device to a frequency sweep is recorded. Through a comparison between any measurement and a reference one corresponding to a healthy state, pollutants presence, such as water in oil or salt in water, can be measured. The performance of the sensor was analyzed through simulation. In addition, a prototype was built and tested measuring water concentration in oil and salt content in water. The correlation between pollutant concentration measured with the sensor and known pollutant concentrations is good.

Geometry of diff erent electromagnetic parts of Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) is a major factor of VSM output voltage. In this paper design, geometry optimization and implementation of a sensitive, versatile and relatively inexpensive VSM system has been described. Considering all effective geometrical parameters in the system output voltage, the induced voltage in the pickup coils has been obtained analytically and the geometry of the pickup coils has been optimized for maximum output induced voltage. Two opposite series of pickup coils, piezoelectric based vibration system and required electronic circuits have been designed and the VSM system has been implemented. The implemented optimized VSM system has been used to reveal magnetization loop of ferromagnetic materials.

Development of Electromagnet for Laboratory Water Treatment Experiments
Water is said to be magnetized when it flows across the magnetic field and magnetized water finds its application in many areas of life. Despite the numerous benefits of magnetized water, very little works have been reported on the development of magnet for water magnetizer application. In most of the reported works, the detailed theoretical analysis and design procedure required for the development of the magnet was not accounted for; hence the need for the present study. Electromagnetic means of producing flux density is considered in this study due to its advantage of flux density variation, which is not achievable with the use of its permanent magnet counterparts. The design equation of short electromagnet was derived from the existing equations of coil magnetic flux density and then used for the air core electromagnet design. The variation of the magnetic flux density with the distance between two electromagnets was empirically investigated. The performance of the developed electromagnet is satisfactory, as the flux density varies between 814.6 and 510G corresponding to the gap (0 -4cm) between the coils (i.e., water pipe diameter).
