Abstract

A mechanism for magnetic treatment of water flow using the Deryagin-Landau-Ferway-Overback theory is described. A quantitative calculation of the process through which a substance dissolved in a water volume crystallizes showed the possibility of qualitatively explaining why scale formation is reduced in a magnetized water flow on the basis of the above-mentioned theory.
