Abstract

Today, using nanotechnology, drugs are placed on carriers or nanoparticles and then sent into the target cell. The Nano fluid is magnetically heated in the presence of an alternating magnetic field. In this paper, we investigate how heat is distributed by three nanoparticles of magnetite, cobalt ferrite and nickel ferrite in a brain tumor using an alternating magnetic field. For this purpose, we first considered a model for heat transfer based on body tissue in a cylindrical system, then, using Maple software, we drew the related diagrams. Analyzing the results, we found that the temperature transfer in the heat source is the highest and then decreases.
