This paper presents a numerical study on the constrained melting of a phase change material inside various capsule containers, using water and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) as a PCM and a capsule material, respectively. The computations are based on an iterative, finite-volume numerical procedure that incorporates a single-domain enthalpy formulation for simulation of the phase change phenomenon. Using the enthalpy method, various capsule configurations, such as a capsule from E company, an isochoric cylinder capsule, an equivalent diameter sphere capsule, and an isochoric sphere capsule, are used to investigate the effect of capsule configurations on the charging and discharging performance. A transient three-dimensional model is used for each case. The simulation results show that the capsule from E company results in a higher melting and solidification rate of the PCM, than the other capsule configurations considered in this research.

Recently, Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(IPMSM) is widely used in the industry applications such as power train for hybrid vehicles and compressor motors of air-conditioner due to its high power density and wide speed range. There are some ways for confirming of maximum power in IPMSM. However, This paper suggests that there is a way about making sure maximum power by reducing turn numbers of armature winding. Setting up the voltage equation through the equivalent circuit and vector diagram of IPMSM first, and then estimating the parameter and power of IPMSM by changing the turn numbers of armature winding and voltage. In order to satisfy output power, the turn numbers of armature winding is changed by using the characteristic analysis, and then checking whether secure maximum power or not.

In order to overcome the manufacturing difficulty of the transverse-flux permanent magnet linear motor (TFPMLM) and enhance its performance much better, a novel TFPMLM with E-core and 3 dimension (3D) magnetic structures is proposed in this paper. Firstly, its basic structure and operating principle are presented. Then the equivalent 2D configuration of the TFPMLM is transformed, so that the Schwarz-Christoffel (SC) mapping method can be used to analyze the motor. Furthermore, the air gap flux density distribution is solved by SC mapping method, based on which, the EMF waveform, no-load cogging force waveform and load force waveform are obtained. Finally, the prototyped TLPMLM is manufactured and the results are obtained from the experiment and 3D FEM, respectively, which are used to compare with those from SC mapping method.

Air gap flux density and d, q axis inductances of the Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor obtained by equivalent magnetic circuit method are compensated using results from Finite Element Method. For optimal design, the efficiency of the motor is taken as the objective function, and Genetic Algorithm finds the value of design parameters which maximize the objective function. The result of optimal designed motor is examined by comparison with proto-type motor.

This paper describes static characteristics analysis of linear pulse motor(LPM) with two permanent magnets. Linear pulse motors are finding a wide range of application for the Factory-Automation or the Office-Automation. Typically, LPM provides for a reliable and precise control of position, velocity, or acceleration without using a closed-loop system. Some of the advantages of LPMs are ease of control, step multiplication, static and dynamic positioning, and locking force. The flux density and thrust of LPM is computed by the FEM and magnetic equivalent circuits which considered the magnetic nonlinear phenomena. The result of characteristics analysis are shown as the flux, the air gap reluctance and the thrust. The velocity and position characteristics as a function of unit step input is measured. To estimate the unit step response charecteristic of LPM, the simulation results by Matlab and the experimental results is compared.

For magnetically suspended flywheel (MSFW) with gimballing capability, demerits of Lorentz force-type magnetic bearings and common reluctance force-type magnetic bearings are analyzed, a novel reluctance forcetype magnetic bearing (RFMB) including radial and axial magnetic bearing units with 4 separate biased permanent magnets and two conical stators is presented. By equivalent magnetic circuits' method, its magnetic properties are analyzed. To reduce the eddy loss, it was designed as radial poles with shoes and its rotor made of Iron-based amorphousness. Although the uniformity of magnetic flux density in the conical air gap determines mainly the additional tilting torque, the maximum additional tilting torques is 0.05Nm and the rotor tilting has no influence on its forces when the rotor tilts or the maximum changes does not exceed 14% when the rotor drifts and tilts simultaneously. The MSFW with this RFMB can meet the maneuvering requirement of spacecraft theoretically.

The seal plays a role in preventing oil leakage when the lip and the rotating shaft come into contact with the fluid and air pressure. Recently, micro dimples or micro pockets are processed and used on the lubrication surfaces of thrust bearings, mechanical bearings, and piston rings. Compared to a smooth surface, micro dimples reduce friction and increase the life of parts. This paper analyzed various kinds of micro dimple shapes on the sealing surface, i.e. circle, rectangle, triangle, and trapezoid. For this purpose, Introduced the design of experiments to work out a micro dimple configuration, unlikely to be damaged from cracks and low in contact stress. As a result, the triangular dimple showed the best results. Optimal factors were dimple size 0.15 mm, dimple depth 0.0383 mm, dimple density 40%, and the maximum equivalent stress was 9.1455 MPa, and the maximum contact pressure was 9.6612 MPa. This paper analyzed the optimal shape of dimples by finite element analysis. As a research project, experiments and comparative analysis of micro dimple shapes are needed.

The densification behavior and electrical conductivity of $Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{1.9}$ ceramics were investigated with the strontium gallate concentration ranging from 0 to $5\;mol\%$. Both the sintered density and grain size were found to increase rapidly up to $0.5\;mol\%$ $Sr_2Ga_2O_5$, and then to decrease with further addition. Dense $Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{1.9}$ ceramics with $97\%$ of the theoretical density could be obtained for $0.5\;mol\%$ $Sr_2Ga_2O_5$-added specimen sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 5 h, whereas pure $Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{1.9}$ ceramics needed to be sintered at $1550^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain an equivalent theoretical density, Electrical conductivity was measured as a function of dopant content, over the temperature range of $350\;-\;600^{\circ}C$ in air. Total conductivity of $0.5\;mol\%$ $Sr_2Ga_2O_5$-added specimen showed the maximum conductivity of $2.37{\times}10^{-2}{{\Omega}-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ at $500^{\circ}C$, The addition of strontium gallate was found to promote the sintering properties and electrical conductivities of $Gd_2O_3$-doped $CeO_2$.

In this paper, a control method of ozone generator for a tiny deodorizer is proposed, and also a cooling technique is described which is cooling down the flowing air gap into a silent discharger to $2[^{\circ}C]$ to generate ozone of high density and diffusing power. As the digital control system for this method, a double feedback loop is designed which detects the voltage and current of equivalent capacitor of the discharger and compensates for the poor power waveform caused by the noise at high discharging frequency. During the plant modeling of this system, computing time factor is considered as a unique parameter of the power system to improve the respond characteristics with regard to fluctuating load and to replenish the computing time delay of the controller. Through the experiment, sinusoidal input current for discharger can be acquired and all the effectiveness of this accurate control system over unstable ozone discharger are proved.
