title: The effect of the rate of magnetic field and temperature changes on the ultrasonic wave absorption coefficient in a magnetic fluid
abstract: The rate of external magnetic field changes as well as temperature influences the structure of a magnetic fluid. This work presents experimental results on changes in the ultrasonic wave absorption coefficient of EMG-605 water-based magnetic fluid as a function of the external magnetic field intensity for different rates of magnetic field changes, at different temperatures. On the basis of these studies, radii of spherical clusters formed in the fluid under the influence of an external magnetic field have been determined.
