چکیده

When a high DC voltage is applied to a capacitor with strongly asymmetrical electrodes, it generates a mechanical force that affects the whole capacitor. This is caused by the motion of ions generated around the smaller of the two electrodes and their subsequent interaction with the surrounding medium. If one of the electrodes is heated, it changes the conditions around the capacitor and influences the process of ionisation, thus changing the value of the generated force. This paper describes these changes and gives reasons behind them. Further the experimental results are given as proof of the ionic mechanism of the phenomenon. Keywords—Capacitor with asymmetrical electrodes, Generated force, Heated electrode, High voltage.

Force on a High Voltage Capacitor with Asymmetrical Electrodes

When a high DC voltage is applied to a capacitor with strongly asymmetrical electrodes, it generates a mechanical force that affects the whole capacitor. This phenomenon is most likely to be caused by the motion of ions generated around the smaller of the two electrodes and their subsequent interaction with the surrounding medium. A method to measure this force has been devised and used. A form...

Effect of electrode erosion on the required ignition voltage of spark plug in CNG spark ignition engine

In this article, the electrode erosion and the gap growth of spark plugs were measured on of a CNG fueled engine after durability tests. Then, the required ignition voltage and the spark quality were investigated by a spark plug test rig. Considering results of measurements, the gap growth increased as the running time increased. Thus, the gap growth of spark plugs with 200 and 280 hours runnin...

Sensorless Model Predictive Force Control with a Novel Weight Coefficients for 3-Phase 4-Switch Inverter Fed Linear Induction Motor Drives

The sensorless model predictive force control (SMPFC) is a strong method for controlling the drives of three-phase 4(6)-switch inverter linear induction motors. This kind of inverter can be employed for fault tolerant control in order to solve the problem of open/short circuit in 6-switch inverters (B6). This paper proposed a method for the SMPFC of a linear induction motor (LIM) with a 4-switc...
