Torque types of the coreless AFPM generator (initial torque and electromagnetic torque) are calculated. The stators (S1 &S2) can be connected either in parallel to get more voltage or in series to get more current. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to calculate flux density of the permanent magnet at deferent air gap size by using (ANSOFT Maxwell) software. Also the output voltage sine wave of the generator and the phase angle between each pairs of the phases are verified. Moreover the output voltage can be controlled by control in air gap size, when the shaft speed was fixed is discussed.
Permanent magnet flux switching machine (PMFSM) is a joint venture of switch reluctance machine (SRM) and permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). It has become a prominent research topic for various applications because of robust rotor structure, high torque and power densities but few were developed for downhole applications mainly due to harsh environmental conditions. Formerly, most of developed PMFSMs for downhole applications were mainly concentrated on inner-rotor type design, and difficult to find research work on outer-rotor configuration. Therefore, this paper introduces the design and investigation of PMFSM with outer-rotor configuration for downhole application. Primarily, the geometric topology of proposed design is described in detail. Then, the no load and load analysis are implemented in order to investigate the initial performance of the proposed design.

Abstract Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine type has some advantages such as compressed packaging, easy handling, and safety operation. In this paper the proper structure selection of AFPM machine for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) application is one of the aims. To reduce the losses and the total volume of machine, the coreless TORUS-NS type machine is selected. Designing of this machine, to obtain a wide speed range with high efficiency, low cogging torque and high torque value, as in-wheel direct-drive AFPM machine for HEV, is investigated. The operation performance in low and medium speed ranges is studied. A new design method based on multi speed design (MSD) strategy is proposed. Using this method with a coreless type of stators, the total AFPM machine efficiency at the HEV operation cycles could be improved. Performance analysis of this in-wheel AFPM machine is done using finite-element method (FEM). FEM analysis of the single-speed design (SSD) method is also done. MSD and SSD designed machines are applied in HEV and simulated using urban and highway cycles. The obtained results show the better performance of HEV, using the MSD based designed machine in all operation cycles.

Performance of Fractional-Slot Winding PM Machines due to Un-even Coil Turns ...IJPEDS-IAES
PM machines in which slot number and pole number combination differs by
one have to be configured with asymmetric winding pattern in order to
maximize it back-emf performance. However, this asymmetric winding
configuration inherently results an unwanted Unabalanced Magnetic Force

asymmetric winding PM machines using 2-D Finite-Element Analysis are
presented. The investigations are mainly driven by the effort of minimizing
the UMF. By employing techniques such as non-uniform number of coil
turns in every tooth and asymmetric design of stator tooth, the UMF are
expected can be minimized. The investigations show that the radial
component of UMF has greater effect than the tangential component on the
UMF itself. In all proposed techniques, a slight reduction of machine torque
performance is inevitable.

Recently, permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) having the diameter of 11inches was successfully developed and installed in electric scooter vehicle (ESV) for propulsion. It consists of segmented stators of 24 armature slots and 100 pieces of permanent magnet of 2 kg weight mounted on rotating rotor. Upon the huge amount of materials and permanent magnet used, PMSM produced 110Nm only. Looking at the size, this torque is low and could not sustain acceleration for long distance travels. To overcome the challenge of low torque, this paper presents a new machine type, flux switching motor (FSM) with 1 kg weight of permanent magnet flux source employing segmented outer rotor. Six ranges of split ratio of 0.80-0.85 for outer rotor 24slot-14pole FSPM motor configurations were designed and compared. The 2D-FEA by JMAG software version 14 is used to examine its performance in term of flux linkage, cogging torque, back-emf and average torque which the structure with split ratio of 0.85 took lead by securing highest torque profile of 209Nm. It also achieved low cogging torque to operate in safe region. In conclusion, appropriate split ratio significantly enhances high torque capability of permanent magnet flux switching motor for electric scooter propulsion.
Improved magnetic behavior of hemicycle PM motor via stator modification IJECEIAES
This article investigates electromagnetic performance of a hemicycle PM motor by introducing a little modification on both ends of a hemicycle stator. Prior to the investigation, an analytical model for the hemicycle PM motor weight is derived analytically for the purpose of comparison with a conventional design. Both motor weights are then verified and the hemicycle motor is found to have lighter weight than the conventional design. By having a proper design modification, an optimum motor performance is achievable due to improved magnetic permeance. Two designs that have different arc angle; i) 180° (188.5 mm arc length) and ii) >180° (204.2 mm arc length) are the subjects of investigation. It is found that a hemicycle PM motor in which arc angle >180° results maximum torque average with the smallest torque ripple and smallest cogging torque.
A breakthrough in this century has been the development of electric vehicle which is propelled by electric motor powered by electricity. Already, many electric motors have been used for electric vehicle application but performances are low. In this paper, a permanent magnet motor technology using unconventional segmented rotor for high torque application is presented. Unlike conventional motors, this design, flux switching motor (FSM) is an advance form of synchronous machine with double rotating frequency. It accommodates both armature winding and flux source on the stator while the rotor is a simple passive laminated sheet steel. Conventionally, rotor of the maiden FSM and many emerging designs have focused on the salient pole, this design employs segmented rotor. Segmented rotor has advantages of short flux path more than salient rotor pole resulting in high flux linkage. Geometric topology of the proposed motor is introduced. It consists of 24Stator-14Pole using PM flux source with alternate stator tooth armature winding. The 2D-FEA model utilized JMAG Tool Solver to design and analyze motor’s performance in terms of torque with average torque output of 470Nm. The suitability of segmented outer-rotor FS motor as a high torque machine, using permanent magnet technology is a reliable candidate for electric vehicle.

This paper discusses the performance of three and five-phase double stator slotted rotor permanent magnet generator (DSSR-PMG). The objective of this research is to propose five-phase DSSR-PMG structure that could minimize output voltage ripple compared to three phase. In this research Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to simulate the characteristic of the three and five-phase permanent magnet generator at various speeds. The characteristic of back-EMF, flux linkage, cogging torque and flux density for three and five-phase configurations is presented.

A Permanent Magnet BLDC motor is designed for reduction in cogging torque and flux per pole. The cogging torque causes direct impact in permanent magnet BLDC motor performance by causing torque ripple problems. This paper proposes a new method for reducing cogging torque by adapting to U-clamped magnetic poles. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to calculate the cogging torque and the flux per pole for different shapes of magnetic pole. It can be shown that the cogging torque could be greatly reduced by adapting to U-clamped magnetic poles. At the same time it is found that the flux per pole is also considerably reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the cogging torque and flux per pole for various designs available in the literature.

Electromagnetic Performance due to Tooth-tip DesIJPEDS-IAES
Permanent Magnet (PM) machines are favorable as an alternative to other
machine topologies due to simpler construction and high torque density.
However, it may result hight torque ripple due to an influence of cogging
torque and electronic commutation. In this paper, comparisons of phase
back-emf, static torque and cogging torque due to influence of tooth-tip
asymmetry in 12-slot/10-pole double-layer and 12-slot/10-pole single layer
winding machines are carried out using 2D Finite-Element Analysis. At rated
condition, the stator asymmetry has great influence on the torque
performance as there is significant reduction of torque ripple in 12-slot/10-
pole mahine equipped with single layer winding than one equipped with
double layer winding machine. It si confirmed that an optimum torque
performance is desirable via stator iron modification in PM machines.

In recent years, permanent magnet machines have become a common choice
in many industrial applications. Therefore, several structures have been
developed, and the choice of a topology designed for a specified application
requires the knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of different
topologies. The present work deals with the evaluation of the performances
of different radial flux surface-mounted permanent magnet motors designed
for an electric vehicle motor application. The objective of this survey is to
show the effect of the rotor position (inner or outer) and the magnets
segmentation on the machine output torque and iron losses. In this context,
four machines with: (i) inner rotor, (ii) inner rotor segmented magnets, (iii)
outer rotor and (iv) outer rotor segmented magnets have been designed and
studied. All these machines have the same geometrical dimensions and
current loading. The main idea is to develop a machine with smoothness
torque, lower torque ondulation, lower iron losses, and which is mechanically
robust. Firstly, the output torque of the different structure is computed.
Secondly, by means of an improved analytical model coupled with 2
dimensional transient finite element analysis (FEA), the machines iron losses
are predicted.

Generally, the Permanent Magnet Tubular Generators (PMTG) are employed in the free-piston generator systems. In this paper, the PMTG with the core made of Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) is employed, and then, the PMTG with the solid SMC core has cylindrical symmetry and also the outer diameter of the machine reduces in comparison to the ones with multipart laminated steel cores in which each part is radially placed along the air-gap and there is unexploited space between them. Here, a Finite Element Method (FEM) is developed in which the reciprocating motion of the translator is considered by moving mesh techniques and moreover, the Jiles-Atherton (JA) scalar hysteresis model is incorporated in the FE model to take into account the hysteresis losses. Then, the copper and core losses are computed and the equivalent circuit of the generator is derived. The calculated losses are compared with the ones obtained from the analytical methods.
This paper discusses about winding arrangement of fractional slot of a new type hollow rotor Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor. Hollow rotor has higher performance compared to other BLDC motor because it minimizes the unused flux below permanent magnet and maximize torque produce by the motor. It’s also known that 8 pole motor is favorite used in industrial because it has an optimum space of permanent magnet for a smaller motor size. The number of pole will affect the maximum speed of the rotor. Thus, the objective of this research is to investigate the best winding arrangement for 8 pole of hollow rotor that could produce the highest electromagnetic performance. At starts, four combinations of slot number and coil sizes had been selected. Structural comparison in term of coil vector and winding arrangement is studied. Finite Element Method (FEM) had been used to simulate the parameters such as backemf and torque waveforms. It was convinced that 9 slot 8 pole with 0.6 size of coil produces the best performance. The confirmed model had been fabricated and measured. Both results from FEM and measurement are compared in term of backemf and torque where percentage differences are 7.4 % and 8 %, respectively. As conclusion, this research shows the fundamental of winding arrangement of fractional slot of motor especially 8 pole motor.

An Iot Based Smart Manifold Attendance SystemIJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- Attendance has been an age old procedure employed in different disciplines of educational institutions. While attendance systems have witnessed growth right from manual techniques to biometrics, plight of taking attendance is undeniable. In fingerprint based attendance monitoring, if fingers get roughed / scratched, it leads to misreading. Also for face recognition, students will have to make a queue and each one will have to wait until their face gets recognised. Our proposed system is employing “manifold attendance” that means employing passive attendance, where at a time, the attendance of multiple people can get captured. We have eliminated the need of queue system / paper-pen system of attendance, and just with a single click the attendance is not only captured, but monitored as well, that too without any human intervention. In the proposed system, creation of database and face detection is done by using the concepts of bounding box, whereas for face recognition we employ histogram equalization and matching technique.
A Novel Approach To Detect Trustworthy Nodes Using Audit Based Scheme For WSNIJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: In multi-hop ad hoc networks there exists a problem of identifying and isolating misbehaving nodes which refuses to forward packets. Audit-based Misbehavior Detection (AMD) is a comprehensive system that effectively and efficiently isolates both continuous and selective packet droppers. The AMD system integrates reputation management, trustworthy route discovery, and identification of misbehaving nodes based on behavioral audits. Compared to previous methods, AMD evaluates node behavior on a per-packet basis, without employing energy-expensive overhearing techniques or intensive acknowledgment schemes. Moreover, AMD can detect selective dropping attacks even if end-to-end traffic is encrypted and can be applied to multichannel networks or networks consisting of nodes with directional antennas. This work implements the AMD approach by considering the rushing attack. The analysis of the results confirms that AMD based method with rushing attack performs better as compared to the non rushing attack.

With coming to end of 2015, much still need to be done to attain the MDGs. With over 62.6% Nigerian population still very poor, there is need for a continuous search for alternative planning & development options that would help ameliorate poverty and sustained our dream for a world free of poverty and wants. This study examines the prospects and investigates the constraints of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in poverty alleviation and community development. Literature review, questionnaire and interview methods were used for the study. The findings revealed that: finance, continuity of projects/programmes, conflicts and insecurity were the major problems confronting the NGOs. An interesting revelation is that majority of the respondents indicated that they wait for the NGOs or Government to initiate poverty alleviation programmes/projects. The implication is that the community dwellers need attitudinal change necessary for self reliance. The prospect of NGOs in poverty alleviation and community development in the study area is very bright due to rapid population growth & increasing poverty levels with the attendant positive effects on urban planning and regional development. The study recommends that NGOs should (1) form an association to enable them work together, and utilize social capital in their operation/services. (2) seek to explore avenues for funding from donor agencies. Finally, the Government needs to address some of its short comings.
Development of Regression Model Using Lasso And Optimisation of Process Param...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- Metal Spinning is a concept of describing the forming of metal into seamless, axisymmetric shapes by a combination of rotational motion and force. Sheet metal spinning is one of the metal forming processes, which a flat metal blank is rotated at a high speed and formed into an axisymmetric part by a roller which gradually forces the blank on to a mandrel, bearing the final shape of the spun part. Over the last few decades, sheet metal spinning has developed significantly and spun products have been used in various industries. Nowadays the process has been expanded to new horizons in industries, since tendency to use minimum tool and equipment costs and also using lower forces with the output of excellent surface quality and good mechanical properties. The automation of the process is of greater importance, due to its wider applications like decorative household‟s goods, rocket nose cones, gas cylinders etc. The objective of the current work is to develop the mathematical model for the spinning process with surface roughness as response and the input parameters as Mandrel speed (rpm), geometry of the Roller and Thickness of sheet (mm). Type of mandrel (EN8 Material) considered in the spinning process has the geometrical profile of parabola and single roller and double roller tools (EN8 Material) are used to deform the Al2024-T3 sheet metal paper aims to understand the process parameters that affect the surface finish of the spun component. Full factorial Design of Experiments technique is used to find the minimum number of experimental trials that are required to develop the regression model. A regression model using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) is developed to further deepen the understanding between the input parameters and the surface roughness. The model was optimised using Sequential Quadratic Programming.

ABSTRACT: In the developing countries like India, need of infrastructure is very high as compared to the available resources. The various organizations put their demands to state and center government for sanction of their project, government depends upon its various department to provide an approximate cost so that priorities can be assigned. The conventional procedure depends upon the land surveying, collection of data from various departments resulting in delay in necessary decision making or some time shelving due to unreasonable cost estimate due to field data being very old. Survey of India, The National Survey and Mapping Organization single handily taking this responsibility thus up gradation of data is far behind the actual development. From the satellite data, which is available in the form of images and terrains (even in 3d LiDAR points for some areas) is very useful for Feasibility Study, and Preliminary Project Report. In the present study natural drain named „Chai Nala‟ meanders through the prime property of Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) thus making a big chunk of commercial land inoperative. It was proposed to straighten and channelize to reclaim the land from drain regime. Being the precious land department wanted the most economical and technically sound design without taking any risk. It was decided to counter check the hydraulic data, ground profile, acquired from the Punjab Irrigation Department with the satellite data and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). The data from the Google Earth was acquired using Cad Earth software and water shed analysis was carried out using Autodesk Civil 3D software. Comparison of results shows that this technique is quite useful and can be for preliminary feasibility and project preparation. Thus saving huge money and time.

Development of Enhanced Frequency Drive for 3-Phase Induction Motors Submitte...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Three-phase induction motors produce mechanical power by electromagnetic induction and run on a 3-phase ac supply. They require efficient speed control, to enable them do variable speed operations, save power consumption and reduce machine noise. In this dissertation, a new switching device called MosControlled Thyristor (MCT) for frequency drive is introduced. Based on the new switching device and AT89C52 microcontroller, an enhanced frequency drive for controlling the speed and torque of 3-phase 15kW squirrel cage induction motor is modeled. Different voltages ranging from 342V to 415V and frequencies ranging from 50Hz to 60Hz are used in a systematic manner to simulate the system based on the new switching device. The simulation program is written in C language and tested with Proteus 7.6 simulation software. Voltage and frequency have significant impact on the actual speed and torque of the motor. Simulation results show that with the new model, the torque (56.66Nm) developed by the motor which is constant throughout each speed range is directly proportional to the ratio (6.7:1) of the applied voltage and the frequency of the supply and the selected speeds (1450, 1510, 1570, 1630, 1690 and 1750 rpm) are locked irrespective of change in load. This is unlike other models where magnetic saturation and conduction drop of IGBT lead to voltage/frequency imbalance resulting in excessive drawing of current by the motor and overheating. This new control method has a speed regulation of ±2 to 3% of maximum frequency, speed response of 3Hz, speed control range of 1: 40 and efficiency of 88%, as further advantages. Comparison of the system with other speed control techniques shows improved energy-saving, cost effectiveness and safety in operation. The contributions of this research aim to make Volts per Hertz speed control method based on MCT a reliable better alternative to other well known methods in speed control of three-phase induction motors

Optimal Pricing Policy for a Manufacturing Inventory Model with Two Productio...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: When a new product is launched, a manufacturer applies the strategy of offering a quantity incentive initially for some time to boost up the demand of the product. The present paper describes a manufacturing inventory model with price sensitive demand enhanced by a quantity incentive. Later on demand becomes time increasing also. Inventory cycle starts with low production rate which is followed by higher production rate when demand is boosted up. Shortages are not allowed in this model. Presentation of numerical examples, tables, graphs and sensitivity analysis describes the model very well. Lastly case without incentive illustrates that usually the quantity incentive offered initially is beneficial.
Analysis of failure behavior of shear connection in push-out specimen by thre...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- This study analyzes the failure mechanism of shear connection by three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) of push-out specimens that was practically unaffordable experimentally or by twodimensional FEA. For the analysis of the failure behavior of the compression strut formed in the loaded concrete member, the three-dimensional principal stress space is transformed into two-dimensional space by means of the relation between the hydrostatic stress and the deviatoric stress. The analysis of the stress state in the compression strut revealed that the deviatoric stress increases with larger load particularly in the concrete surrounding the lower part of the shear stud. Accordingly, bearing failure of concrete occurred locally within a limited region in the slab. The steep increase of the deviatoric stress accompanying the increase of the load resulted in the failure of concrete around the lower part of the shear stud, which in turn provoked the deformation and the development of bending moment of the shear stud. Finally, plastic hinge formed in the shear stud leading it to reach its limit state. The proposed finite element model can also be used to model the shear connection of the composite beam and, the proposed stress analysis method can be applied to analyze its composite action behavior.
Discrete Time Batch Arrival Queue with Multiple VacationsIJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- In this paper we consider a discrete time batch arrival queueing system with multiple vacations. It is assume that the service of customers arrived in the system between a fixed intervals of time after which the service goes on vacations after completion of one service of cycle is taken up at the boundaries of the fixed duration of time. This is the case of late arrival. In case of early arrival i.e. arrival before the start of next cycles of service. If the customer finds the system empty, it is served immediately. We prove the Stochastic decomposition property for queue length and waiting time distribution for both the models.
Regional Rainfall Frequency Analysis By L-Moments Approach For Madina Region,...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- In arid regions, extreme rainfall event frequency predictions are still a challenging problem, because of the rain gauge stations scarcity and the record length limitation, which are usually short to insure reliable quantile estimates. Regional frequency analysis is one of the popular approaches used to compensate the data limitation. In this paper, regional frequency analysis of maximum daily rainfall is investigated for Madinah province in the Western Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The observed maximum daily rainfall records of 20 rainfall stations are selected from 1968 to 2015. The rainfall data is evaluated using four tests, namely, Discordance test (Di), Homogeneity test (H), Goodness of fit test (Zdist) and L-moment ratios diagram (LMRD). The Di of L-moments shows that all the sites belong to one group (Di <3.0).><1). Finally, the Zdist is used to evaluate five probability distribution functions (PDFs) including generalized logistic (GLO), generalized extreme value (GEV), generalized normal (GNO), generalized Pareto (GPA), and Pearson Type III (PE3). Zdist and LMRD both showed that PE3 distribution is the best among the other PDFs. The regional parameters of the candidate PDF are computed using L-moments approach and accordingly the regional dimensionless growth curve is developed. The results enhance the accuracy of extreme rainfall prediction at-sites and also they can be used for ungauged catchment in the region.

It is believed that by making BI customized based on decision making styles; BI would be the much more successful in serving all the categories of managers
Effect of Water And Ethyl Alcohol Mixed Solvent System on the Stability of Be...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The stabilities of ternary complexes of metal ions (copper, nickel, zinc and cobalt) with betahydroxy ketone(BHK) derivatives and benzotriazole(BTAZ) derivatives in various mixed solvent systems (Water+Ethyl Alcohol) medium in 0.1 M KNO3 ionic strength at 250C using pH metric titration method have been established. The data reveal that the copper forms more stable complexes, which is followed by zinc and Ni complexes with these ligands. Cobalt form less stable complexes with these ligands. The stabilities of these complexes are further quantified with Δ log K values, intra-molecular equilibrium constants and percentage of stacking interaction in the ternary systems. The observed positive Δ log K values suggest that the flexible side chain alkyl moiety (ethyl group, butyl group) or aromatic moiety (phenyl group) in BHK ligand overlaps with the fixed aromatic moiety of BTAZ ligand in the ternary complex, which results in the enhanced stabilities for the (BHK-Alk)-Metal(II)-BTAZ and (BHK-Ph)-Metal(II)-BTAZ systems. Interestingly, the positive Δ log K values for both BHK-Alk and BHK-Ph ligands in their corresponding ternary complexes are about the same. This suggests the flexible Alkyl or phenyl side chain of BHK is overlapping with the triazole ring, but not the phenoxy ring of the BTAZ ligand.

Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

I. INTRODUCTION
Recently, axial flux permanent magnet (PM) generators are used increasingly in ample applications
with high efficiency, weight, small size, and reliability. The main parts in axial flux permanent magnet generator
are rotor and stator. A rotor has permanent magnets for produce an axial flux density. A stator disc contains
phase windings. By combining or arranging the stators and rotors and their numbers, many variations of AFPM
generators can be developed. The simple design is a single stator - single rotor .also there are many forms
available such as double-stator-single rotor, double rotor-single stator, and multi stator-multi rotor designs [1,2]-
[13]-[20]. In single stator single rotor (iron) of AFPM, the axial force between it is very high therefore, it
required more complex bearing arrangement and more thick rotor back-iron [3]. To calculate the behaviour of
the magnetic flux and verify the accuracy of the analytical result, the (Ansoft maxwel) Software can be used. In
AFPM coreless machine, the attractive force between the stator and rotor does not exist, at no load [4, 5]
AFPMG single rotor – double stator (SR-DS), has two stators and one PM rotor disc. The disc with PMs rotates
between two stators. The advantage of this structure has two-stage output voltage, short axial length and more
output power. Also disadvantages that it needs more coils. In this research, this type will be study. The Double
sided Stator and Single Rotor (DS-SR), it consist of back to back rotor place in between the stator, therefore the
weight of rotor is less as compared to double sided rotor . Starting torque of this generator is low, therefore it
give an output instantly. The double-sided rotor simply called twin rotor with PMs is located at two sides of the
stator, also called a double-sided generator with internal stator. The AFPMG with stator between rotors with S-
N and N-S arrangement, iron losses are absent and only copper losses exists [6].
It has the greatest torque production capability due to the increased volume of PM material used [7, 8]-
[13]. As the magnetic losses in rotor PMs and disks are very small, thus can be neglected, as there is no change
in the flux direction in the rotor back iron, the disadvantage of the double-rotor AFPM topology is the strong
magnetic attractive force between the two opposing PM-rotor disks[9]-[18]. As the magnetic losses in rotor PMs
and disks are very small, and can be neglected, as there is no change in the flux direction in the rotor [10].
Multiple stage axial flux generator is the one with iron and ironless stator. This type of generator can be built
multiple rotors and armature windings. In general, the multi stages generator structure has N stator and N±1 or
N/2 rotor discs where N is the number of the stators, the rotors share the same mechanical shaft [11]-[19]. The
stator windings of the N stator can be connected either in parallel or series .In a multi-stage AFPG the flux
driven by magnets passes axially from a north- pole on one rotor to a facing south -pole on the other. Therefore,
only the external rotor discs must be made of material with good magnetic properties (typically mild steel),
since they are used to provide a path for flux, [12,13]-[15]. Our study will focus on the double stator-single rotor
generator as shown in Fig.1.Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnetic material was used for the permanent
magnets in the rotor. The rotor construction can be made from light materials such as Plexiglas, epoxy,
aluminium, etc., and they use magnets, the shape magnet also may trapezoidal, rectangular, or circular. The
stators can be made from Non-magnetization as the rotor. The shape of the coil should be like magnetic shape.
The shapes, weights, and size of AFPM generators are reasonably small when compared to conventional

generators. The relation between the number of coils and the number of magnets. If the ratio is an integer, then
the rotor has zero-torque positions. In order to avoid a zero-torque position, a non-integer ratio is required. For
true alternating three-phase emf waveform with 120°, 1.33 magnets per coil is needed[14, 15] .Our system is a
three-phase pr/ps =9/12 generator. ps is the number of poles of the stator, and pr is the number of poles of the
rotor. Armature windings are stator coils. However, the rotor has permanent magnets for poles rather than some
excitation windings.

III. INITIAL TORQUE AND ELECTROMAGNETIC TORQUE
In general, torque (N.m) is defined as a force around a given point, applied at a radius from that point.
Therefore, a net torque will cause the machine to rotate with an angular acceleration. The initial torque to move
or rotate the rotor can be determined by measuring the weight required to start to rotate the rotor, and the weight
should be at 90 degrees with the radius then calculate by Eq. 4.
Tinitial = Frotate . r. sin(θ) (4)
Where Frotate = M. a is force given by Newton's low. The equivalent of the total torque in machine is
given by Eq.5, if we assume a friction torque (bearing friction) is very small, and can be neglected [3]-[17,18].
T = J

= Tm − Te (5)
Where ω is angular speed, Tm is a mechanical torque. A mechanical torque applied to turn magnetic
field through a conductor and generate electric current and Te is electromagnet torque. If the machine is rotating
at constant speed Tm = Te , the sum of torque will be zero that means T = J
dω
dt
= 0 , and if Tm >Te the
rotation shaft will accelerate (torque increase). Also if Tm < Te the rotation shaft will deceleration (torque
decrease). In our case a coreless AFPM machines does not produce any normal attractive force between the
stator and rotor at no-load. Also, no produce cogging torque,
The magnetic motive force (m.m.f) of the stator and the rotor are existed only when the generator is loaded, thus
the electromagnetic torque (Te) can be given by Eq.6, [2]-[19]-[20].

Where va(t) , vb(t) & vc(t) are instantaneous voltages of three phases, ia(t) ,ib(t) & ic(t) are load currents of
three phases of AFPM generator and ωm is the mechanical shaft speed of AFPM generator in rad/sec. When the
load is balanced, the electromagnetic torque equation can be written as

IV. EXPERIMENTS RESULTS
A. The phase angle
The 3-phase generator that which designed and manufactured is driven by a dc motor with a speed
controller to simulate the wind during the experiments. The output voltage waveforms of the generator are
shown in Fig.4. As seen, a phase angle 120 degrees is available between each pairs of the phases.
Fig.4: The output voltage at 100 rpm
B. Out voltage at no load
The output of the two stators (S1&S2) can be connected either in parallel or in series, at low speed S1 &
S2 can be connecting in series to get more voltage, and can be connecting in parallel at high speed to get more
current as shown in Fig.5.

C. Air gap effect
The impact of air gap size on the output voltage was noted. When the air gap increases, the magnetic
flux density decreases, and therefore, the output voltage is decrease and vice versa, as shown in Fig.6, Fig.7.
In Fig.8 when the air gap size is changed the output voltage is changed also, thus may can control of the output
by control in air gap size.

D. Types of torque in coreless MS-AFPM
There are two types of torque in coreless AFPM generator, the initial torque at the beginning and the
electromagnetic torque when the load exist
1. The initial torque
The initial torque Tintial = 0.250 N.m , is calculated using Eq.4.
2. Electromagnetic torque:-
The electromagnetic torque has been calculated by using Eq.8 at load resistor 50 Ω. When the air gap
size as small as possible the air gap flux density will increase which in turn improves the electromagnetic
torque, as illustrated in Fig.9.

VII. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, coreless AFPMS generator double stator - single rotor designed and tested. The relation
between number of coils and the number of poles are chosen to ensure a three-phase output of the generator.
The coils was Arranged to get a phase angle 120 degree between each two phases is verified. In this type of
generator, the two stator should be working in the same time, also the air gap stator (S1) /rotor and stator
(S2)/rotor should be the same size to keep balanced rotor forces. The peak value of flux density in the air gap
was calculated by using software (Ansoft Maxwell) with different sizes in the air gap. The influence of the air
gap size on output the generator was found, it is clear that when the air gap size increasing the output voltage or
power would decrease. Thus, lowest value of the air gap is recommended. The output voltage can be controlled
by control in air gap size, when the shaft speed fixed. There is no attractive force between the stators and the
rotor at no-load and the initial torque is very small if compared as normal, thus this generator can be used in low
speed (wind turbine) direct-coupled without gearbox.
