A numerical analysis has been carried out on the Czochralski flow fields when uniform and nonuniform magnetic fields are applied. Czochralski flow fields are governed by buoyancy forces, thermocapillarity, centrifugal forces, and applied magneic fields. In this analysis, pressure and three components of velocity vectors are obtained, and circumferential electrical currents are calculated. When a uniform magnetic field is applied, all the velocity components are decreased and the circumferential electric currents near the crystal surface are increased as the magnetic field intensity is increased. In the case of a nonuniform field, the flows in a meridional plane are suppressed and the circumferential velocity is increased as the non uniformity is increased. The understanding on the Czochralski flow fields under the influence of magnetic fields can lead to the study on the behavior of the concentration of the solute and impurities.

With an increase in the commercialization of electricity, and the development of advanced and large electric devices and various wireless radio wave services, concerns over the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health have increased. Accordingly, the World Health Organization encouraged the development of international standards by establishing the 'International Electromagnetic Fields Project' in 1996 based on studies on the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields on the human body. Moreover, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) classified electromagnetic fields as possible carcinogens under Group 2B category, even though they have been found to have a weak correlation with those effects on human health. Mid-to-large-sized electric facilities used at industrial sites mostly adopt a commercial frequency of 60 Hz, and workers handling these facilities are exposed to such extremely low frequency (ELF) fields for a long time. A previous study suggested that exposure to ELF electromagnetic fields with frequency ranges from 0 to 300 Hz, even for a short time, at densities higher than 100 μT may have harmful effects on human body as it affects the activation of nerve cells in the central nervous system by inducing an electric field and current and stimulating muscles and the nervous system in the body. Such studies, however, focused on home appliances used by ordinary people, and research on facilities utilizing high-capacity current and operated by workers at industrial sites is lacking. Therefore, in this study, a 3000 kilowatt generator, which is a high-capacity electric facility employed at industrial sites, was investigated, and the size of the magnetic fields generated during its no-load and high-load operations per distance to produce a map was measured to reveal spots deemed hazardous according to domestic and international exposure standards. The findings of this study is expected to alleviate workers' anxiety about the harmful effects of magnetic fields on their body and to minimize the level of exposure during operations.

The effects of power frequency electric and magnetic fields have been a source of concern for many years. Electromagnetic fields can pose a theat to both signal system of electrified railways and human body around railways. It is believed that, though the electromagnetic fields do no serious harm to human health, they do induce biological effects. This paper estimates the electromagnetic fields near Kyeongbu high speed railways with numerical data. The charge simulation method and surface charge method are used to calculate the electric field of 2 dimensional power distribution lines and rails and magnetic field is calculated on the base of Biot-Sarart's law.

In this study magnetic fields near electric power lines with branch lines which have a arbitrary angle were derived and formulated by dipole antenna theory and could be calculated easily using the formula. It seems that those formula could be applicable to the consideration of magnetic fields during the design of distribution lines with branch lines. As an example those formulated equations on elements of magnetic fields were applied to a model of 3 phase distribution lines with branch lines and calculated by Matlab programs and the results were presented The analyzed results are follows. The resultant magnetic field is dominated by the componant By all over y-axis in the case of the smaller branched angle $\alpha$ and the lower observed point z. In case of ${\alpha}=\frac{\pi}{2}$[rad], the resultant field is affected by the componant Bx. The resultant field is dominated by the componant Bz at the vicinity of the power lines and it shows very large value at the branch line position of y-axis in case of ${\alpha}>\frac{\pi}{2}$.

This article presents a semi-analytical solution for an exponentially graded piezoelectric hollow sphere. The sphere interacts with electric displacement, elastic deformations, electric potentials, magneto-thermo-elasticity, and hygrothermal influences. The hollow sphere may be standing under both mechanical and electric potentials. Electro-magneto-elastic behavior of magnetic field vector can be described in the hollow sphere. All material, thermal and magnetic properties of hollow sphere are supposed to be graded in radial direction. A semi-analytical technique is improved to deduce all fields in which different boundary conditions for radial stress and electric potential are presented. Numerical examples for radial displacement, radial and hoop stresses, and electric potential are investigated. The influence of many parameters is studied. It is seen that the gradation of all material, thermal and magnetic properties has particular effectiveness in many applications of modern technology.

We are developing a small-sized high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage (HTS-SMES) magnet with the nominal storage capacity of 600 kJ, which provides electric power with high quality to sensitive electric loads. Critical current and N-value of a high temperature superconductor with large current, which was selected for the development of the 600 kJ HTS-SMES magnet, were investigated in various oblique external magnetic fields. Based on the critical current and N-value measured for the short sample conductor, we discussed the DC V - I characteristic of a model coil fabricated with the same conductor of 500 m. The results show that the measured critical current and N-value of the conductor for parallel field are constant in external magnetic fields less than about 0.2 T. However, for oblique fields, its critical current and N -value abruptly decrease in all external magnetic fields. Moreover, the measured critical current of the model coil well agrees with the numerically calculated one based on the DC V - I characteristic measured for the short sample conductor. This suggest that losses and critical currents for an HTS-SMES magnet made up of a high temperature superconductor with anisotropic characteristic are predictable from the data of a short sample conductor.

Accelerated electric charge is the source of electromagnetic waves. If electric charge is accelerated, the electric field set up by the electric charge is also accelerated. A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field and the changing magnetic field produces an electric field and the process is self-perpetuating. The lines of B as well as E thus occurred form closed loops that move away from the source with speed c. These traveling electric and magnetic fields. which are strongly interdependent, constitute electromagnetic radiation. All the properties of electromagnetic waves can be deduced mathematically from Maxwell's equations.

The internet of things (IoT) technology is a key component for the advent of 4^th industrial revolution, which is the network of home appliances, infrastructures, and vehicles to remotely investigate these systems. For the operation of compact IoT devices, batteries are widely used as electric power, and the limited lifetime of batteries inevitably leads to periodic replacement. Magneto-mechano-electric (MME) generators may be alternatives to batteries inside the IoT devices by converting stray magnetic field into electric energy, since we are always surrounded by ambient alternating current (AC) magnetic fields induced from electric power transmission lines everywhere. This article reviews the recent domestic research progress in high-performance MME generators and their application field for IoT and electronic devices.

Corrosion currents flow through the seawater due to the different electrochemical potential between a hull and a propeller under the draft line of ship. Additionally, in order to protect the hull and other sensitive anodic parts of the ship from corrosion, the corrosion protection system, called impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP) equipment has been installed in most naval ships. Those currents could be harmful to the electromagnetic silencing of the naval ship because sea mines are triggered by even a feeble field value. In this paper, we described electric and corrosion related magnetic fields by ship's galvanic corrosion and a corrosion protection system, and prediction results of electric and corrosion related magnetic fields at any depth for the model ship.

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of power reflection and transmission coefficients for a meander-line polarizer placed periodically on a chiral slab. It is assumed that a linearly polarized transverse magnetic wave is incident on a chiral slab from the air region. In the analysis, we derive the electric and magnetic fields in the modal form in the air and chiral regions. We obtain power reflection and transmission coefficients in a straightforward manner after matching the tangential components of the electric and magnetic fields at the boundaries. We present numerical results for the power reflection and transmission coefficients versus frequency and incident angle for different values of the chirality admittance. A meander-line polarizer placed on a dielectric slab can convert a linearly polarized wave to a circularly polarized wave. The design parameters for a meander-line polarizer are the dimensions of the meander-line and the values of the dielectric slab. Replacing a dielectric slab with a chiral slab introduces a new independent parameter which controls the wave polarization.
