Abstract
In this study, the thermal properties of the powder sample of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles prepared by the co-precipitation method and characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy have been reported. An induction heater was used to determine the thermal properties of the sample coated with gum arabic (GA) in various concentrations, viz., X = 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/ml. The results show that the thermal properties of the sample depend on the concentration of GA. Furthermore, it was found that the specific heat capacity (C-G) of the GA solution decreased with the increase in the concentration of GA.
