Abstract—The kinetic equations for one- and two-particle distribution functions were used to study the ther-
moelastic properties of magnetic liquids in the presence of an external not uniform magnetic field. Dynamic
equations for the heat conductivity coefficient () and thermal elastic modulus Z() over a wide reduced fre-
quency range were obtained. The asymptotic behavior of () and Z() was studied at low and high frequen-
cies; the results were in agreement with those obtained for classic liquids by the method of molecular dynamics.
The () and Z() values were calculated for a magnetic liquid based on kerosene and Fe3O4 magnetic parti-
cles. The numerical data on transfer coefficients and elastic properties of magnetic liquids were on the whole
in agreement with the general conclusions of the statistical theory of liquids.
