In this paper, the steady-state temperature of a sample 500 KW two rotor one stator Non-slotted axial flux permanent magnet motor is calculated using the finite element simulator software package. Due to the high temperature in various parts of the machine, especially at stator winding, a cooling system is designed for the motor and the temperature is recalculated. The results show that the tem...

For line start permanent magnet synchronous machines (LSPMSMs), the eddy current loss in the rotor, which has of significant effects on rotor working temperature, may cause thermal demagnetization to permanent magnet. Therefore, this paper addresses an investigation on the temperature distribution in LSPMSM based on a 6 kV, 315 kW prototype with solid starting cage bar. Firstly, the loss distri...

An asymmetric mechanism for correlated motion occurring in noninteracting pairs of adjacent orthogonal 1,4-bis(carboxyethynyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) rotators 1 in the solid state is unraveled and shown to play an important role in understanding the dynamics in the crystalline rotor, Bu4N+[1-]·H2O. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and calculation of rotor-rotor interaction energies combined...

Copyright © 2003 by GTSJ Manuscript Received on July 7, 2003 ABSTRACT Asymmetric rotors or shafts with dissimilar moments of area form a special category of rotor dynamics problems. Of specific interest for these rotors is the instability in the region of half critical speed, also called gravity critical speed. General analysis of such rotors is limited to Jeffcott type beam models. This involv...

Stray load loss refers generally to the sources of induction machine loss not accounted for by typical calculations of primary or secondary copper loss, no load core loss, or friction and windage loss. Harmonic rotor bar currents from the non-sinusoidal distribution of the slotted stator winding contribute significant stray load loss. Rotor bars, especially on cast rotors for machines under fif...

This paper presents a numerical analysis of the performance of a five-bladed Darrieus vertical-axis water turbine, based on the NACA 0025 blade profile, for both bare and shrouded configurations. A complete campaign of 2-D simulations, performed for several values of tip speed ratio and based on RANS unsteady calculations, has been performed to obtain the rotor torque and power curves. Also the...

This perspective paper is intended to give some insights into the recently proposed technique of NMR of solutes sedimented by ultracentrifugation in a rotor used for solid state NMR experiments. Sedimented "states" correspond to molecules with very little reorientational capability in extremely concentrated solutions. They provide solid state NMR spectra comparable in quality with those of the ...

This paper presents the design, analysis, and prototyping of a novel axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) motor capable of auto-starting. The preliminary design is a slot-less double-sided solid-rotor line-start AFPM motor with 4 poles for high torque density and stable rotation. One spaced raised ring was added to the inner radii of the rotor disc for smooth line-start motor. The design allows t...
