Prof. R. V. Upadhyay, Prof. R. V. Mehta and Dr. K. H. Parekh (first and last at CHARUSAT, Inidia) had dealt with these matter in optical region so may have some view about thermal property. I know only about thermal absorption of fluid
We measured ferrofluids with 3 omega method. Published only as abstract in the following workshops in 2013.
