AB  - Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to present the synthesis of magnetic fluid characteristics, like diameter of nanoparticles (NPs) and their concentration, in order to obtain a prescribed temperature rate. An evolution strategy algorithm is used in the optimization procedure, while three‐dimensional finite‐element (FE) modelling is used for magnetic field and thermal field analysis in transient conditions.Design/methodology/approach– FE analysis has been used in order to compute the magnetic and thermal field in a suitable model of the tumor region. The power density due to NP has been accordingly derived.Findings– The NP distribution, giving a prescribed thermal response, is synthesized.Practical implications– The proposed method can be used to design a therapeutic treatment based on magnetic fluid hyperthermia.Originality/value– The paper belongs to a streamline of innovative studies on computational hyperthermia.
