A Multi-Motor Architecture for Electric Vehicles
This paper proposes an architecture for EVs with three or more electric motors and highlights when adding more motors does not impact the battery state of charge (SOC). The proposed control algorithm optimizes the use of the motors onboard to keep them running in their most efficient regions. Simulation results along with a comparison with other current motors used in EVs is presented in this paper, and further discussion on the results is presented. With this architecture, the powertrain would see a combined efficiency map that incorporates the best operating points of the motors. Therefore, the proposed architecture will allow the EV to operate with a higher range for a given battery capacity
Ages and metallicities of star clusters: new calibrations and diagnostic diagrams from visible integrated spectra
We present homogeneous scales of ages and metallicities for star clusters
from very young objects, through intermediate-age ones up to the oldest known
clusters. All the selected clusters have integrated spectra in the visible
range, as well as reliable determinations of their ages and metallicities. From
these spectra equivalent widths (EWs) of KCaII, Gband(CH) and MgI metallic, and
Hdelta, Hgamma and Hbeta Balmer lines have been measured homogeneously. The
analysis of these EWs shows that the EW sums of the metallic and Balmer H
lines, separately, are good indicators of cluster age for objects younger than
10 Gyr, and that the former is also sensitive to cluster metallicity for ages
greater than 10 Gyr. We propose an iterative procedure for estimating cluster
ages by employing two new diagnostic diagrams and age calibrations based on the
above EW sums. For clusters older than 10 Gyr, we also provide a calibration to
derive their overall metal contents.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, accepted by A&
Relativistic quantum motion of spin-0 particles under the influence of non-inertial effects in the cosmic string space-time
We study solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation with vector and scalar
potentials of the Coulomb types under the influence of non-inertial effects in
the space-time of topological defects. We also investigate a quantum particle
described by the Klein-Gordon oscillator in the background space-time generated
by a string. An important result obtained is that the non-inertial effects
restrict the physical region of the space-time where the particle can be
placed. In addition, we show that these potentials can form bound states for
the relativistic wave equation equation in this kind of background.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1608.0669
