Optimal Split Ratio in Small High Speed PM Machines Considering Both Stator and Rotor Loss Limitations

The split ratio which is defined as the ratio between rotor and stator outer diameters is critical for permanent magnet(PM)machines.In this paper,the split ratio in small high speed PM machines is optimized analytically by considering both stator and rotor loss limitations.By this way,the thermal constrains in both stator and rotor parts can be taken into account.It shows that both losses can significantly affect the optimal split ratio and the machine performance.By considering the influence of rotor losses,especially the rotor eddy current loss,the optimal split ratio is increased significantly in certain scenarios.The output torque is calculated analytically and the influences of several key design parameters on the optimal split ratio,i.e.slot/pole combinations and magnet materials,are also investigated in details.Finally,finite element(FE)analyses are carried out for validating of the analytical model.

Performance Analysis for Mobility Management of Dual Connectivity in HetNet

Dual connectivity(DC)is regarded as a promising technology to increase users’throughput,provide radio link robustness,and improve load-balancing among base stations(BSs).However,since the introduction of DC makes the mobility of network more complex and diversified,especially the mobility management of heterogeneous networks(HetNets)based on DC faces great challenges.Taking event-A3-based measurement report as the trigger condition for handover(HO),this paper compares and evaluates the influences of HO of master nodes(MNs)and secondary nodes(SNs)on link reliability in different bearing modes.Particularly,hybrid automatic repeat request(HARQ),throughput,channel quality indicators(CQIs),and data packets queuing time are taken as link reliability analysis indicators.Besides,we study how DC utilizes the traffic split ratio between MNs and SNs to maximize the superiority of throughput.Simulation results show that DC can effectively reduce the impact of HO on the number of HARQ and increase the throughput of users.When the data traffic is tilted to the secondary nodes,the superiority of throughput is more obvious.

Comparative Study on Torque Performance of Five-phase Single-Stator and Double-Stator Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

This paper compares the torque characteristics of single stator permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)and double-stator PMSM under different split-ratios,air-gap lengths and shaft diameters by finite element method.Firstly,the effects of split-ratio towards the torque characteristics of the two motor structures under different air-gap lengths are researched,the results show that the optimal split-ratios of the two motor structures do not change under different air-gap lengths,and the optimal split-ratio of the double-stator motor is greater than that of single-stator,and the torque of the double-stator motor is greater than that of single-stator motor with arbitrary split-ratio under the same air-gap length;Finally,the effects of the shaft diameter to the torque of the two motor structures are investigated,obtaining that with the increasing of shaft diameter,the electromagnetic torque of the single-stator motor is almost unchanged,however,the torque of the double-stator is gradually reduced,when the shaft diameter reached a certain extent,the electromagnetic torque of the double-stator motor is smaller than that of single-stator motor with the split ratio within a certain range,and the torque/quality ratio of the double-stator motor is smaller than that of single-stator motor with their optimal split ratio separately.

Optimal Designs of Wound Field Switched Flux Machines with Different DC Windings Configurations

Wound field switched flux(WFSF)machines exhibits characteristics of the simple robust rotor,flexible flux-adjustable capability,and no risk of demagnetization.However,they suffer from a poor torque density compared with permanent magnet machines due to the saturation.Therefore,in this paper,two WFSF machines with single-and double-layer DC windings,respectively,are optimized for the maximum torque.The end-winding(EW)lengths differ in these two machines,which can affect the optimal design.Design parameters including the DC to armature winding copper loss ratio,slot area ratio and split ratio are optimized when two machines have the same copper loss and overall sizes.In addition,the influence of the flux density ratio,total copper loss,air-gap length and aspect ratio on the optimal split ratio is investigated using the finite element method and results are explained through the analytical model accounting for the saturation.It is discovered that the EWs have no effect on the optimal copper loss ratio,which is unity.In terms of the slot area ratio,the machine with single-layer DC windings prefers smaller DC slot areas than armature slot areas.In the WFSF machine with longer EWs,the optimal split ratio becomes smaller.Moreover,compared with other parameters,the flux density ratio can significantly affect the optimal split ratio.

Investigation of Optimal Split Ratio of 6-Slot/2-pole High Speed Permanent Magnet Motor with Toroidal Winding

Split ratio,i.e.the ratio of stator inner diameter to outer diameter,has a closed relationship with electromagnetic performance of permanent magnet(PM)motors.In this paper,the toroidal windings with short end-winding axial length are employed in the 6-slot/2-pole(6s/2p)PM motor for high speed applications.The split ratio is optimized together with the ratio of inner slot to outer slot area,i.e.slot ratio,considering stator total loss(stator iron loss and copper loss).In addition,the influence of maximum stator iron flux density and tooth-tip on the optimal split ratio,slot ratio,and average torque is investigated.The analytical predictions show that when the slot ratio is 0.5,the maximum torque can be achieved,and the optimal split ratio increases with the decrease of slot ratio,as confirmed by the finite element(FE)analyses.Finally,some of predicted results are verified by the measured results of 6s/2p prototype motor with 0.5 slot ratio.

Gas-liquid flow splitting in T-junction with inclined lateral arm

This paper studies the gas-liquid flow splitting in T-junction with inclined lateral arm. The separation mechanism of the T-junction is related to the pressure distribution in the T-junction. It is shown that the separation efficiency strongly depends on the inclination angle, when the angle ranges from 0° to 30°, while not so strongly for angles in the range from 30° to 90°. Increasing the number of connecting tubes is helpful for the gas-liquid separation, and under the present test conditions, with four connecting tubes,a good separation performance can be achieved. Accordingly, a multi-tube Y-junction separator with four connecting tubes is designed for the experimental investigation. A good agreement between the simulated and measured data shows that there is an optimal split ratio to achieve the best performance for the multi-tube Y-junction separator.

Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses for integration of aromatics separation with aromatics upgrading

Methanol to aromatics produces multiple products,resulting in a limited selectivity of xylene.Aromatics upgrading is an effective way to produce more valuable xylene product,and different feed ratios generate discrepant product distributions.This work integrates the aromatics separation with toluene disproportionation,transalkylation of toluene and trimethylbenzene,and isomerization of xylene and trimethylbenzene.Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses are conducted to give insights in the splitting ratios of benzene,toluene and heavy aromatics for aromatics upgrading.First,a detailed simulation model is developed in Aspen HYSYS.Then,300 splitting ratio sets of benzene and toluene for conversion are studied to investigate the process performances.The results indicate that there are different preferences for the splitting ratios of benzene and toluene in terms of exergy and exergoeconomic performances.The process generates lower total exergy destruction when the splitting ratio of toluene varies between 0.07 and 0.18,and that of benzene fluctuates between 0.55 and 0.6.Nevertheless,the process presents lower total product unit cost with the splitting ratio of toluene less than 0.18 and that of benzene fluctuating between 0.44 and 0.89.Besides,it is found that distillation is the biggest contributor to the total exergy destruction,accounting for 94.97%.
