INFLUENCES OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON MACROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF WATER

Abstract

The influences of magnetic field on thermodynamic, mechanical and electromagnetic properties of water including the specific heat, surface tension force, soaking effect or angle of contact, refraction index and electric conductivity are studied. From these investigations we know that the magnetic fields reduce the specific heat of water, increase the soaking degree and hydrophobicity of water to materials, depress its surface tension force and increase refractive index and electric conductivity of water relative to those of pure water. We can predict that these changes are caused by the changes of microscopic structures and distribution of water molecules under the action of a magnetic field. Therefore, our studies have important significations in science and has practical value of application of magnetized water.
