Equations for the snubber is derived from the design of the iron-core. The iron-loss factor and eddy-current losses are found to increase in a sample experiment at a frequency from 1 kHz to 20 kHz. A 1：10 miniature of the iron-core is tested and performs well with a fine capability.展开更多

Application of reflectance spectroscopy over the 400–2500 nm, visible to near-infrared wavelength range, has been used to characterise the iron ore oxide mineralogy of bedded iron deposit (BID) derived iron ores in India (Thangavelu et al., 2011) and Brazil (da Costa et al., 2009), and used to define the ore and gangue (e.g., clay) mineralogy in ironstone or channel iron deposits (CID) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (e.g., Haest et al., 2012).展开更多
