The preparation and property of liquid gallium based temperature sensitive functional fluid dispersing silica-coated FeMB (M = Nb, V) nanoparticles were discussed. The composition, morphology and magnetization of FeMB nanocrystalline prepared by chemical method were investigated. The nanoparticles were in the size range of 30 - 50 nm and the 0.74T saturation magnetization at 293K. A shell of SiO2 that was a thickness of about 10 nm on particles was observed by coating of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The magnetization of the synthesized particles and fluid shows a temperature dependency within the testing temperature range of 293 - 353 K, which indicated their application potential in energy exchange devices. Silica coated iron alloy particles were dispersed into liquid gallium in the solid fraction of 0.3 mass %. The prepared fluid magnetically responded on temperature and was well heat convection fluid. The movement of gallium based fluid under the influence of the magnetic field with a magnetic field gradient was observed at various temperatures. The velocity of fluid flows in the pipe at 318K of heater temperature was at about 10mm/s and the Reynolds number was estimated as a laminar flow.
