Hysteresis: A Lasting Memory
| Challenge: | Discovery | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Montreal | | City: | Westmount, QC | | School: | The Study | | Abstract: | The purpose of this project was to determine the relation between the hysteresis of a Ferrofluid or a Magneto-Rheological Fluid (MRF) and the fluctuation in surrounding temperature. The experimental findings demonstrated that the hysteretic properties of the substances changed as a function of temperature and differed from one another. |
