A magnetic colloid, also known as a ferrofluid, is a colloidal suspension of single-domain magnetic particles with typical dimensions of about 10nm, dispersed in a liquid carrier. Since the 1960, when these materials were initially synthesized, their technological applications are finding new directions. A ferrofluid is a temperature sensitive magnetic fluid which means that its magnetization is function of temperature. In this numerical analysis has done, In which the study of different magnet shapes are studied which shows the effect of magnetic field on ferrofluid and different parameters related to that like temperature, velocity and Heat transfer were evaluated.
