Each model was used to simulate a set oftransduction heating experiments and the results compared. Analysis of the TEC calculated results suggested modification of three parameters： the secondary resistance, the core tube eddy current resistance and the core tube magnetizing reactance. The improved TEC model was then used to design, build and test a 6 kW transduction heater. The measured results are compared with calculated results from the TEC and FEA models. The TEC model accurately predicts the performance of the heater.展开更多

In this procedure,a new method has been developed for the parameter extraction of the ladder circuit,which is commonly used to represent the skin effect.In order to verify the model＇s validity and accuracy,we have compared the simulated and measured self-inductance,quality factor,coupling coefficient and insertion loss,and an excellent agreement has been found over a broad frequency range up to the resonant frequency.展开更多
