Thermodynamic Analysis of Resources Used in Thermal Spray Processes: Energy and Exergy Methods
In manufacturing, thermal spray technology encompasses a group of coating processes that provide functional surfaces to improve the performance of the components and protect them from corrosion, wear, heat and other failings. Many types and forms of feedstock can be thermal sprayed, and each requires different process conditions and life cycle preparations. The required thermal energy is genera...
متن کاملDesign and Thermal Simulation of Induction Machines for Traction in Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles
An electric traction machine for an electric or a hybrid electric vehicle is usually designed for a specific operating point or cycle. For such an operating point or cycle, the masses and the cooling circuit of the electric machine determine the time dependent temperature distribution within the machine. For a specific load cycle, the thermal simulation of the machine can reveal possible mass a...
متن کاملThe Smallest Thermal Machines
Are there limits to how small one can make a thermodynamic machine? At first sight, this question appears to contradict itself, as thermodynamics usually begins with a kind of macroscopic picture. However, as Nicolas Brunner at the University of Bristol, UK, and colleagues describe in a paper appearing in Physical Review E, this constraint can be circumvented, if one focuses on a special kind o...
متن کاملImplications of Coupling in Quantum Thermodynamic Machines
We study coupled quantum systems as the working media of thermodynamic machines. Under a suitable phase-space transformation, the coupled systems can be expressed as a composition of independent subsystems. We find that for the coupled systems, the figures of merit, that is the efficiency for engine and the coefficient of performance for refrigerator, are bounded (both from above and from below...
متن کاملGeneralized Compressed Tree Machines
In this paper we propose a new class of tree machines, called generalized compressed tree machines. Generalized compressed tree machines are obtained from complete binary tree machines by performing certain`con-traction' operations. A generalized compressed tree machine of height h has approximately 25% less number of processors than a complete binary tree of height h. We show that these machin...
