Demand for compact high torque/power density electric machines necessitates the choice of an effective cooling system. The focus of this paper is to compare the steady-state thermal analysis of a naturally air-cooled conventional 8/6 SRM to the same motor with direct in-winding cooling system. The goal is to determine how much torque increase can be achieved by using direct cooling in the windings slots. The results show that the direct cooling of the winding guarantees lower temperature in the windings by 50% at a given operating point, although the winding slot volume is reduced by 25%. This means current density limit increases with direct winding cooling, hence improving the torque/power density of the machine.

Thermal bridge detailing in tunnel form buildings with passive house principles Yılmaz, Derya; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2014) As a result of depleting fossil fuels, increased energy prices and global warming, the growing importance of energy efficiency given birth to spread construction of energy saving buildings and use of new technologies around the world. Since thermal bridges in buildings may cause excessive heat loss, mold growth and deterioration of indoor air quality; to eliminate thermal bridges becomes very crucial both in existing buildings and in energy efficient buildings. In this thesis, energy demand of a six storey ...
Passive Cooling Assembly for Flat Panel Displays with Integrated High Power Components Tarı, İlker (2009-08-01) Passive cooling of flat panel display designs with integrated high power components is investigated with the help of recently available semi-emprical and CFD based heat transfer correlations. A heat-spreader-heat-sink assembly is proposed for effective external natural convection cooling of the display panel. A flat vertical surface and plate finned heat sinks with various fin heights are considered as heat sinks in the assembly. Heat dissipation limits for both types of heat sinks are determined for variou...
Energy Harvesting from Piezoelectric Stacks Using Impacting Beam Ozpak, Yigit; Aykan, Murat; Çalışkan, Mehmet (2015-02-05) Piezoelectric materials can be used for energy harvesting from ambient vibration due to their high power density and ease of application. Two basic methods, namely, tuning the natural frequency to the operational frequency and increasing the operation bandwidth of the harvester are commonly employed to maximize the energy harvested from piezoelectric materials. Majority of the studies performed in recent years focus mostly on tuning the natural frequency of the harvester. However, small deviations in operat...
Temperature estimation of switched reluctance machines using thermal impulse response technique Rahman, Nasim Arbab; Gu, Lei; Bostancı, Emine; Fahimi, Babak (2017-01-12) Identifying the hot spots in an electrical machine is a critical step in the electromagnetic design process. Failure of this diagnosis can result in significant damages to the machine. However, a detailed thermal analysis of an electric machine can be extremely time consuming. Therefore, a new approach called Thermal Impulse Response (TIR) modelling is proposed to estimate the temperature of various parts in an electric machine. Use of TIR modelling will improve the simulation time significantly. Simulation...
Optimal design of synchronous reluctance machines Kiani, Morgan; Bostancı, Emine; Fahimi, Babak (2017-12-15) Electric machines are optimized to the extent of their magnetic configuration and manufacturability. Thanks to recent advances in development of composite material (SMC), 3-D printing, and programmable magnets, manufacturing capabilities have changed dramatically. Introducing of cloud computing and impressive computational resources has opened new opportunities in virtual prototyping in a multi-physics environment. These enabling technologies present a potential for a transformative approach in optimal desi...
