In this article, turbulent flow heat transfer in the air gap between rotor and stator of a generator under nonhomogeneous heat flux is studied experimentally. The rotor consists of four symmetrical triangular grooves. The stator surface is smooth and does not include any grooves. The relative heat flux between the rotor and the stator is 1 to 3. Temperature and heat flux are measured locally at...

Two types of gap phenomena (types I and II ) have been described in human hearts and their electrophysiologic bases have been delineated. In both types of gap phenomena relatively early premature atrial impulses are blocked within some portion of the His-Purkinje system (HPS). By increasing the prematurity of the atrial depolarization, conduction to the ventricles resumes due to delay of the pr...

This paper studies the non-uniform air-gap caused by stator and rotor deformations, together with its effects on the spatial and temporal spectrum of the radial magnetic force density in an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). According to the mathematical model of the deformed air-gap length, the superposition method is adopted to derive the air-gap permeance. Then, the formula...

Design and construction of a capacitor sensor with a precise readout system are described in this paper. A variable air-gap capacitive transducer was constructed and for signalmeasurement a successful attempt was made to exploit the capacitance changes in terms of the phase angle of the detected signal. The reported setup makes it possible to detect capacitance changes of the order of 2.5 fF in...

3) Key Laboratory of Clothing Design & Technology, Ministry of Education, China Abstract Considering a clothing system consists of the human body, an air gap layer under the clothing as well as a fabric layer and boundary layer adjacent to the fabric, heat transfer from the skin to the environment is influenced by human body thermoregulation, the air gap, the fabric and environmental conditions...

Lubrication with ambient air is not quite generally applied. The best known application is the “foil bearing” in tape recording systems for audio, video and computer applications; where the gap height that is needed for effective lubrication may quite easily be attained. This air gap reduces tape friction and wear of tape and recording head substantially. On the other hand, though, the air gap ...

Air pollution concentrations in urban areas vary in both time and space (Munn, 1981). Time variations are strongly influenced by changes in human activities. Several activities occur repeatedly at regular intervals thus producing cycles in air pollution changes, like daily variations in CO concentration due to the change in traffic density or seasonal variations in air pollution (e.g., from hea...
