Abstract
Magnetorheological suspension (MRS) dispersing spherical several gm of iron particles in the low vapor pressure of dimethylpolysiloxane has been prepared. Yield stress has been proportional to square of magnetic field intensity and increases as containing larger volume fraction of iron particles and using solvent that is more viscous. The plastic viscosity increased linearly as a function of volume fraction of iron particles. The burst pressure of MRF seal is related on the dispersed iron particle size. The burst pressure is related on the magnetization curve in the MRS dispersing less than several gm of iron particles. On the other hand, the surface tension of solvent influences on the burst pressure in the MRS dispersing more than several gm of iron particles. Also the burst pressure is affected on the seal gap. In the large gap, the burst pressure in stationary condition adds the pressure by the yield stress of MRS. However, in the small gap the burst pressure of rotating condition is almost the same as that of stationary condition because the arranged iron particles cannot be reconstructed in a small gap. The larger viscosity of solvent and volume of iron in MRS increases the burst pressure.
