ThesisItem Open Access The effect of magnetic field on viscosity and ultrasonic propagation in distilled water.(Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, 2014) Sharma, Naresh; Paramjit SinghThe technology of magnetic water has been widely studied and adopted in the field of agriculture in many countries. The water passes through magnetic field is known as magnetized water. The clusters of water molecules are influenced by the magnetic field that affects the physical properties of water. Magnetized water has very useful effects in agriculture such as on seeds, yield, plant length and crop productivity. The main objective of this work is to investigate the effect of magnetic field on the viscosity and ultrasonic propagation velocity in distilled water in order to get insight of the changes in water structure. The viscosity and ultrasonic propagation velocity in distilled water were measured at the different strengths of magnetic field varying from 0.18 T to 0.40 T and 0.016 T to 0.128 T respectively. The changes in viscosity and ultrasonic propagation velocity in distilled water before and after the application of magnetic field were compared. During the experiment, it was observed that the viscosity of distilled water was decreased and the ultrasonic propagation velocity in distilled water was increased with magnetic treatment. The memory effect of magnetized distilled water was also observed when the magnetic field was removed. From the observed experimental data, it was concluded that the memory time of magnetized distilled water depends on the magnetic field strength. Statistical analysis which included Tukey’s test was performed and the results of viscosity and ultrasonic propagation velocity in distilled water were statistically significant (p<0.05).ThesisItem Open Access The effect of magnetic field on viscosity and ultrasonic propagation in distilled water(Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, 2014) Sharma, Naresh; Paramjit SinghThe technology of magnetic water has been widely studied and adopted in the field of agriculture in many countries.
