On the Thermal Conductivity of Magnetic Fluid

D. K. Wagh and Ashima Avashia

(Received June 5, 1995; accepted for publication November 15, 1995)

The formula for the thermal conductivity of magnetic fluid is derived considering thermal conductivity as transport of thermal energy. It is found that the thermal conductivity of a magnetic fluid depends on magnetic field gradient and certain microscopic parameters which characterize the magnetic fluid.
