Abstract

Nanoparticle hyperthermia treatment is progressing with the passage of time, and
with the development in the field of hybrid nanoparticles synthesis. The transient
heat transfer in magnetite-graphene nanocomposite in three-dimensions under
conduction is studied in this this research. The proposed model is simulated in a
finite element solver framework. Novel hybrid nanoparticles were synthesized. Their
chemical properties and their heat transfer properties were examined. By
mathematical modelling results, the effective hybrid nanoparticle is chosen that can
be used as a drug in hyperthermia process. Current developments in nanotechnology
have improved the ability to precisely modify the features and properties of MNPs for
these biomedical applications. The accurate control on the magnetic properties of the
particle is the key in hyperthermia applications. By these magnetic particles, the
desired temperature can be achieved for laser hyperthermia. In this article, a detailed
investigation is reported for understanding the properties and novelty of the new
nanoparticles. The merits and demerits of synthesized hybrid nanoparticles are also
discussed with regard to whether the nanocomposites can be implemented as a drug
or not.
