Formula Expression of Airgap Leakage flux Coefficient of Axial-Flux Permanent Magnet Motor
Airgap leakage flux coefficient is one of the main parameters which must be given ahead of time when performing initial designs or getting performance results by magnetic circuit analysis for any kinds of electrical machines. Three -dimensional finite element method (3D-FEM) is the most reliable one to obtain the accurate leakage flux coefficient for axial-flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motor which definitely takes a much long time and is not advantageous to the motor’s initial and optimal design. By constituting the accurate lumped-parameter magnetic circuit (LPMC) model and computing the resultant magnetic reluctances, the analytical formula of the leakage flux coefficient of AFPM is given which is verified by 3D-FEM and the prototyped AFPM experiment.

Model and Topological Characteristics of Power Distribution System Security Region
As an important tool of transmission system dispatching, the region-based method has just been introduced into distribution area with the ongoing smart distribution grid initiatives. First, a more accurate distribution system security region (DSSR) model is proposed. The proposed model is based on detailed feeder-interconnected topology, and both substation transformer and feeder N-1 contingencies are considered. Second, generic characteristics of DSSR are discussed and mathematically proved. That is, DSSR is a dense set of which boundary has no suspension and can be expressed by several union subsurfaces. Finally, the results from both a test case and a practical case demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling approach; the shape of DSSR is also illustrated by means of 2- and 3-dimensional visualization. Moreover, the DSSR-based assessment and control are preliminary illustrated to show the application of DSSR. The researches in this paper are fundamental work to develop new security region theory for future distribution systems
Interlayer Coupling of Co/NM/FM(NiFe and Co) Nano-Sandwich Films
AbstractCu/Co, Cu/NiFe, Ta/NiFe bilayers and Co/Cu/Co, Co/Cu/NiFe, Co/Ta/NiFe sandwich films were deposited by a magnetron sputtering method. Magnetic properties were evaluated by VSM and spin valve magnet oresistance was investigated by a four-probe method to study the interlayer coupling of the two magnetic layers. It has been found that the interlayer coupling depended not only on the layer thickness of the nonmagnetic spacer but also on the nature of the spacer. The interlayer coupling was reduced as the spacer layer thickness increased. The result was consistent with those from observations of the magnetic domain for the trilayers by means of Lorentz Electron Microscope. The trilayers with Cu spacer layer have shown a stronger coupling than those with Ta spacer layer
Linear optical quantum computation with imperfect entangled photon-pair sources and inefficient non-photon-number-resolving detectors
We propose a scheme for efficient cluster state quantum computation by using
imperfect polarization-entangled photon-pair sources, linear optical elements
and inefficient non-photon-number-resolving detectors. The efficiency threshold
for loss tolerance in our scheme requires the product of source and detector
efficiencies should be >1/2 - the best known figure. This figure applies to
uncorrelated loss. We further find that the loss threshold is unaffected by
correlated loss in the photon pair source. Our approach sheds new light on
efficient linear optical quantum computation with imperfect experimental
conditions.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
A molecular dynamics study of evaporation of multicomponent stationary and moving fuel droplets in multicomponent ambient gases under supercritical conditions
The evaporation of a six-component fuel droplet under supercritical conditions is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The focus here is on effects of multicomponent ambient gases and the relative motion between the droplet and the ambient. The ambient pressure ranges from 8 MPa to 36 MPa and the ambient temperature ranges from 750 K to 3600 K. In the lower range of the temperature and pressure, the average displacement increment (ADI) per fuel atom gradually increases with time and the classic evaporation is observed. In the higher range of the temperature and pressure, the ADI profile has a unimodal distribution with time and the diffusive mixing between the droplet and the ambient gases dominates. Based on the ADI profile of fuel atoms, a criterion (Ï„0.9P) for mode transition from evaporation to diffusion is proposed. Among the ambient gases investigated, the mode transition is the most difficult in the nitrogen ambient but the easiest in combustion exhaust gases. For multicomponent fuel droplets close to or in diffusion mode, with higher relative velocities, the relative difference between evaporation rates for light/heavy fuel components is reduced. This study demonstrates that supercritical conditions alone are insufficient for mode transition of evaporation
A molecular dynamics study of evaporation mode transition of hydrocarbon fuels under supercritical conditions
The mode transition of evaporation for single- and multi-component hydrocarbon fuels is investigated
at the molecular level. This study scrutinizes first the subcritical and supercritical evaporation of nhexadecane droplets and liquid films by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The mode regime map
of n-hexadecane droplets is obtained. Then the mode transition of evaporation of a three-component
droplet and a six-component droplet is studied. A critical dimensionless number Ï„ 0.9P of 0.5 based on the
average displacement increment (ADI) of fuel atoms is used to identify the evaporation mode transition
of fuels with any type and number of components. It is found that in the diffusion mode of evaporation, the entropy becomes the dominant factor in the evaporation of fuels, and the disorder of the fuel
molecules increases significantly compared with that in the classic evaporation mode. Compared with the
case of the quiescent droplet, with increasing relative velocity between the droplet and the ambient gas,
the mode transition becomes easier, although this is a non-linear process. Fuel droplets and liquid films
with different initial sizes are investigated to understand the size effect. In addition, for the same ambient temperature and pressure, the smaller the normalized specific heat transfer surface area of the fuel
is, the easier the mode transition of evaporation is. A correlation was proposed to compare the possibility
of mode transition of evaporation for single- and multi-component fuels
An Upper Bound of the Bezout Number for Piecewise Algebraic Curves over a Rectangular Partition
A piecewise algebraic curve is a curve defined by the zero set of a bivariate
spline function. Given two bivariate spline spaces
(Δ) over
a domain D with a partition Δ, the Bezout number BN(m,r;n,t;Δ) is defined
as the maximum finite number of the common intersection points of two arbitrary
piecewise algebraic curves
(Δ). In this paper, an upper bound of the Bezout number for
piecewise algebraic curves over a rectangular partition is obtained
