Phenomenological Interpretation of Classical Expression for Force Affecting a Ferroparticle in the Magnetic Field
The unprecedented attempt has been made to fully expand classical and often quoted (above all by magnetic separation regimes and conditions analysis) expression for the force affecting the ferroparticle in magnetic field with the functional character of the following parameters of this expression being taken into account: magnetic induction, magnetic gradient and ferroparticle magnetic susceptibility. For this purpose a particular case of force impact has been analyzed in field approximating one-dimensional field. This field is produced in module of two distantly oriented magnetic elements. The obtained dependences for magnetic induction, magnetic gradient and ferroparticle magnetic susceptibility (according to distance x to polar surface one of the magnetic elements) have been used. By the analysis the fact has been taken into account that ferroparticle magnetic susceptibility depends on its shape as well as substance magnetic susceptibility depends, in its turn, on magnetic field intensity around ferroparticle. In other words, magnetic susceptibility of material depends on distance x to polar surface usually being ignored. The analysis of the following expanded variant of magnetic force expression allows to determine that phenomenological dependence (on parameter x) which has a very simple exponential form can be an alternative to this expression. Such dependence can be reasonably used by decision-making in theoretical and practical tasks of magnetic separation. The undertaken attempt to specify the role of another parameter B0 – magnetic induction on polar surface (that is often considered as the most essential) – shows the power (approximating square) character of magnetic force concerning this parameter.
