GENERAL

Biography

Dr. Chaves-Guerrero’s research is focused on the characterization of the flow behavior of magnetic nanoparticle suspensions, specifically focusing on ferrofluids, under the influence of time-varying magnetic fields. The studies have primarily aimed at obtaining both analytical and numerical solutions for the flux field, thereby shedding light on the diffusion of internal angular momentum and antisymmetric stresses as potential contributors to the generation of flux. Additionally, he has conducted investigations on the magnetorheological evaluation of mixtures containing crude oil, ferrofluids, and magnetic emulsions, with the incorporation of glue to enhance energetically efficient fluid transport.
