Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of magnetothermal (MT) and magnetorheological (MR) nanofluids, emphasizing their properties, applications, and safety considerations in engineering and biomedical fields. MT nanofluids, which generate heat under magnetic fields, and MR nanofluids, known for their tunable viscosity and responsiveness, represent significant advancements in thermal management, adaptive systems, and medical treatments. We examine their composition, heat generation mechanisms, and thermal and magnetic properties, supported by computational fluid dynamics and molecular dynamics simulations. Key applications include precision machining, adaptive damping systems, cancer therapy, and advanced prosthetics. Despite their potential, challenges such as biocompatibility, stability, and regulatory compliance remain. The chapter underscores the importance of robust safety protocols and risk assessments to mitigate potential health risks. Future directions include enhancing biocompatibility, improving long-term stability, improving the accuracy of multiscale simulation approach, and expanding the scope of applications. This detailed exploration aims to facilitate future research and development, advancing the practical use of MT and MR nanofluids.
