Simulation of electromagnetic-flow fields in Mg melt under pulsed magnetic field

The effects of a pulsed magnetic field on the solidified microstructure of pure Mg were investigated.The results show that microstructure of pure Mg is considerably refined via columnar-to-equiaxed growth under the pulsed magnetic field and the average grain size is refined to 260？？ under the optimal processing conditions.A mathematical model was built to describe the interaction of the electromagnetic-flow fields during solidification with ANSYS software.The pulsed electric circuit was first solved and then it is substituted into the magnetic field model.The fluid flow model was solved with the acquired electromagnetic force.The effects of pulse voltage frequency on the current wave and on the distribution of magnetic and flow fields were numerically studied.The pulsed magnetic field increases melt convection,which stirs and fractures the dendritic arms into pieces.These broken pieces are transported into the bulk liquid by the liquid flow and act as nuclei to enhance grain refinement.The Joule heat effect produced by the electric current also participates in the microstructural refinement.

Numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection in the lower solar atmosphere

Observations indicate that Ellerman bombs （EBs） and chromospheric microflares both occur in the lower solar atmosphere,and share many common features,such as temperature enhancements,accompanying jet-like mass motions,short life-time,and so on.These strongly suggest that EBs and chromospheric microflares could both probably be induced by magnetic reconnection in the lower solar atmosphere.With gravity,ionization and radiation considered,we perform two-dimensional numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection in the lower solar atmosphere.The influence of different parameters,such as intensity of the magnetic field and anomalous resistivity,on the results are investigated.Our result demonstrates that the temperature increases are mainly due to the joule dissipation caused by magnetic reconnection.The spectral profiles of EBs and chromospheric microflares are calculated with the non-LTE radiative transfer theory and compared with observations.It is found that the typical features of the two phenomena can be qualitatively reproduced.

Magnetic Force Simulation of Cables in Microgrid during Faults

In recent years, more and more electric utilities are using underground cables to distribute electric power rather than overhead transmission line. However, the cost of installation and maintenance of underground cables is very expensive. Thus, the proper design and damage prediction of cables are crucial. This paper is focused on the magnetic force waveforms simulation of cables under different types of faults using PSCAD and COMSOL. The results show that three-phase fault leads to the largest magnetic forces and the maximum magnitude of the forces in the x-direction is about 2.5 N. Also, the magnetic fields surrounding the cables are different depending on the arrangements of cables buried method. Although the magnitude is small, considering the long distance and long operating time of underground cables, the forces between cables can cause failures under some conditions. In the future, more types of faults such as high impedance fault and different protecting technologies can be studied.

Application of high-temperature permanent magnets Sm(Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)_Z in PPM focusing system

Rare earth permanent magnets Sm（Co, Fe, Cu, Zr）z with outstanding performance and high-temperature thermal stability were fabricated. Optimized by Fe content and process, Sm（Co0.72Fe0.15Cu0.1Zr0.03）7.5 magnet with B1〉0.75 T and Hci〉1300 kA/m at 300 ℃ can be obtained. According to the performance data of Sm（Co0.72Fe0.15Cu0.1Zr0.03）7.5, the magnetic field along central axis Bz in periodic permanent magnet （PPM） focusing system was simulated using electromagnetic field analysis software Maxwell 2D/3D. The Bz exhibited typical cosine curve along central axis, and the peak value of Bz was high enough to meet the demand of PPM focusing system at room temperature even at 200±20 ℃. Additionally, a kind of simple cooling structure for PPM focusing system was designed by setting cooling pipe between polepieces. Simulated results showed that smooth cosine curve of Bz was successfully achieved with good control of the thickness of cooling pipe.

Effects of dipolar interactions on magnetic properties of Co nanowire arrays

Magnetic properties and magnetization processes of Co nanowire arrays with various packing densities are investigated by means of object-oriented micromagnetic framework（OOMMF） software package with finite difference micromagnetic simulations. The packing density of nanowires is changed with the diameter, number of nanowires and center-to-center spacing between the wires. The magnetization reversal mechanism and squareness of the hysteresis loops of the nanowire arrays are very sensitive to the packing density of nanowires. Clear steps and plateaux on the demagnetization are visible,which turns out that dipolar interactions among the wires have a significant influence on switching field.

The Influence of Longitudinal Magnetic Field on the CO_2 Arc Shape

The COarc welding was carried out under a longitudinal magnetic field,and the arc shape has been studied by using a high-speed camera.From the camera images,we know that under the action of the longitudinal magnetic field,the upper end of the arc will constrict and the lower end of the arc will expand.It would become a bell-type shape and rotate at a highspeed in the optimum range of magnetic field parameters.The arc shape was simulated using a mathematical model,which was established based on experiment data and theoretical knowledge,and mechanism analysis has been carried out regarding the effect of longitudinal magnetic field on COwelding arcs.

Microstructure improvement related coercivity enhancement for sintered NdFeB magnets after optimized additional heat treatment

The micro structure, especially the Nd-rich phase and the grain boundary, in sintered NdFeB magnets plays an important role in magnetic reversal and coercivity mechanism. To better understand the effects of the microstructure on the coercivity, we investigated the microstructure and properties improvements of a commercial sintered NdFeB magnet after optimized additional heat treatment. The coercivity is enhanced from 1399 to 1560 kA/m. This enhancement has been explained in terms of the evolution of the grain boundary structure, and the formation of continuous thin layers of Nd-rich phase is important for high coercivity. The micromagnetic simulation together with the numerical analysis based on the nucleation model suggest that the reversed magnetic domains nucleate mainly at the interface of multijunctions of Nd_2 Fe_（14）B grains with high stray fields during the demagnetization process. Both improved anisotropy fields at grain boundaries and reduced stray fields at multi-junction Nd-rich phases contribute to the coercivity enhancement. This work has importance in understanding the crucial micro structure parameters and enhancing the obtainable properties for sintered NdFeB magnets.

Temperature stability of magnetic field for periodic permanent-magnet focusing system

In this study, finite element analysis based on an Ansoft Maxwell software was used to reveal the temperature stability of a magnet ring and the equivalent structural periodic permanent-magnet（PPM） focusing system. It is found that with the temperature increasing, the decrease rate of magnetic induction peak（Bz）maxof single magnet ring is greater than that of remanence Brof magnet in the range from room temperature to 200 °C, however,the PPM focusing system do have the same temperature characteristics of permanent-magnet materials. It indicates that the magnetic temperature properties of the PPM system can be effectively controlled by adjusting the temperature properties of the magnets. Moreover, the higher permeability of the magnets indicates the less Hcb, giving rise to lower magnetic induction peak （Bz）′max： Finally, it should be noted that the magnetic orientation deviation angle θ（／15°） of permanent magnets has little effect on the focusing magnetic field of the PPM system at different temperatures and the temperature stability. The obtained results are beneficial to the design and selection of permanent magnets for PPM focusing system.

An atomic electronegative distance vector and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts of alcohols and alkanes

A novel atomic electronegative distance vector (AEDV) has been developed to express the chemical environment of various chemically equivalent carbon atoms in alcohols and alkanes. Combining AEDV and γ parameter, four five-parameter linear relationship equations of chemical shift for four types of carbon atom are created by using multiple linear regression. Correlation coefficients are R = 0.9887, 0.9972, 0.9918 and 0.9968 end roots of mean square error are RMS = 0.906, 0. 821, 1.091 and 1.091 of four types of carbons, i.e., type 1, 2, 3, and 4 for primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons, respectively. The stability and prediction capacity for external samples of four models have been tested by cross-validation.

Dipping Paint Curing Amorphous U-Core Used as Reactor

Non-oriented silicon steel （35W310） and amorphous ribbon （FeT8 Si9B13 amorphous alloy） reactor U-cores are made by welding and dipping paint curing, respectively. Amorphous U-core used to make reactor cut sharply ed-dy current loss due to high electrical resistivity characteristic, thickness of thin ribbon and insulation of dipping paint. The amorphous alloy has high and constant magnetic permeability, and is more suitable for reactor design power to filter high order harmonic component. Keeping off high magnetostriction district with magnetic flux density of 50-100 mT can weaken influence on inductance of inductor due to elongation of magnetostriction. Amorphous al-loy has a lower temperature rise using the software Infolytica 7.2 simulation.
