Electrical Drive An electric drive is a system that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It also provides electrical control of the whole process through several devices and technologies (Figure 1). The objective is to create a smooth and versatile control to achieve a specifi c speed-torque characteristic. It is a key component of the power conversion chain between power sources ...

This technical note presents a coupled thermo-hydromechanical model for unsaturated soil, which can be applied in the context of high temperature. A new pore gas or bulk air transfer equation is introduced. Additionally the effect of temperature on the latent heat of vapourisation and specific heat capacities is incorporated. Adsorbed water is also included. The performance of the model is demo...
