In induction hardening, thermal fatigue is one of the main failure modes of induction heating coils. There have been papers published that describe this failure mode and others that describe some good design practices [1-3]. The variables previously identified as the sources of thermal fatigue include radiation from the part surface, frequency, current, concentrator losses, water pressure and coil wall thickness. However, there is very little quantitative data on the factors that influence thermal fatigue in induction coils available in the public domain. By using finite element analysis software this study analyzes the effect of common design variables of inductor cooling, and quantifies the relative importance of these variables. A comprehensive case study for a single shot induction coil with Fluxtrol A concentrator applied is used for the analysis.

Abstract:
High performance and reliable electrical machines
are often required in modern applications and an appropriate
thermal management allows to fulfil such demand. Thermal
management is crucial for improving performance, reducing size
and preserving the insulation lifetime of electrical machines.
From this prospective, a novel cooling method for machine
end-windings is proposed in the present work. Its cooling action
focuses on the end-windings, since they are commonly identified
as the machine hot-spot. The effectiveness of the proposed
cooling method is experimentally proved and the improvement,
in terms of current density, for a given wire insulation thermal
class, is quantified.
A previously designed permanent magnet synchronous
machine, implementing a traditional housing water jacket, is
used as a case study. The influence of the improved current
density on machine torque density is investigated, through finite
element simulations, when the proposed cooling method is
integrated to the existing housing water jacket.
IRJET- Integration of Phase Change Material in HelmetsIRJET Journal

MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF COLD CRUCIBLE FURNACES FOR MELTING METALSFluxtrol Inc.
http://fluxtrol.com
Cold Crucible Furnaces (CCFs), widely used in multiple special applications of
melting metals, oxides, glasses and other materials [1], are essentially 3D devices and their
modeling is a complicated task. Multiple studies of CCFs have been made for their
optimization, but their electrical efficiency is still low; for metals approximately 25-30% and
even lower. Fluxtrol, Inc., made an extensive study of electromagnetic processes of CCFs
using computer simulation and laboratory tests. This study showed that electrical efficiency of
CCFs may be strongly improved by means of optimal design of the whole system with use of
magnetic flux controllers. Theoretical results had been confirmed by laboratory tests on
mockups and by industrial tests with real melting processes. The presentation contains a
description of the computer modeling procedure and major findings. They form a basis for
optimal design of electromagnetic systems of CCFs.
SIMULATION OF INDUCTION SYSTEM FOR BRAZING OF SQUIRREL CAGE ROTORFluxtrol Inc.
http://fluxtrol.com
ABSTRACT. Induction heating is the most progressive method for brazing of squirrel cage (SC) type rotors of electric motors. Frequencies from 3 to 10 kHz are typically being used for brazing of relatively large rotors (diameter more than 200 mm). If the ring thickness exceeds its height, flat single or two-turn inductors with concentrator are located under the ring instead of the round coil surrounding the ring. The rotor is standing on the top of the coil providing high pressure onto the joint components; a gap between the coil and ring is minimal and constant during the heating process.
This study describes a modified system with concentrator made of magnetic composite Fluxtrol 100. Frequency was much higher (around 50 kHz) than traditionally used (3-10 kHz). Electromagnetic and thermal coupled simulation with Flux 2D used to compare the process parameters and temperature distribution dynamics at 3 and 50 kHz. It was found that at higher frequency the brazing quality and time are approximately the same as at lower frequency. Electrical efficiency is slightly higher at 50 kHz while the coil current is significantly lower. Computer simulation at different powers showed that for a larger rotor the minimum required power is 70-75 kW. At lower power brazing time quickly increases and at 50 kW reaches 16 min instead of 5 min at 75 kW. Electrodynamic forces between the coil and rotor at 75 kW equal to 250 N at 50 kHz and almost 950 N at 3 kHz.
Thermal simulation of the coil proved that the maximum temperature of Fluxtrol 100 concentrator is below 200 C, which is acceptable for this material. Experimental and then industrial tests confirmed the results of simulation.

Magnetic Flux Controllers in Induction Heating and Melting by Robert Goldstei...Fluxtrol Inc.
MAGNETIC FLUX CONTROLLERS are
materials other than the copper coil that are used
in induction systems to alter the flow of the magnetic
field. Magnetic flux controllers used in
power supplying components are not considered
in this article.
Magnetic flux controllers have been in existence
since the development of the induction
technique. Michael Faraday used two coils of
wire wrapped around an iron core in his experiments
that led to Faraday’s lawof electromagnetic
induction, which states that the electromotive
force (emf) induced in a circuit is directly proportional
to the time rate of change of the magnetic
flux through the circuit. After the development
of the induction principle, magnetic flux controllers,
in the form of stacks of laminated steel, found
widespread use in the development of transformers
for more efficient transmission of energy
(Ref 1, 2).
Magnetic cores gained widespread use in the
transformer industry because they increased
the amount of magnetic flux produced with
the same alternating current. The higher the
magnetic flux, the higher the emf, which results
in an increase in energy transfer efficiency from
the primary winding to the secondary winding.
Similar to transformers, magnetic cores were
used on early furnaces for induction melting
(Ref 1, 2). The benefits of magnetic flux controllers
vary depending on the application. For
induction heating, magnetic flux controllers can
provide favorable and unfavorable paths for magnetic
flux to flow, resulting in increased heating in
desired areas and reduced the heating in undesirable
areas, respectively.Magnetic flux controllers
are not used in every induction heating application,
but their use has increased (Ref 3, 4).

Induction Heating – Operation, Applications and Case Studies - Presentation S...Leonardo ENERGY
The industrial process heating applications that use electrotechnologies have been found to improve product quality, productivity, energy efficiency, reduce energy intensity and have many other non-energy benefits. Induction technology is another electrotechnology based heating method for heating electrical conductive materials. It involves sending an alternating current (AC) through a copper coil which surrounds the material to be heated or melted. When a metal is placed inside the coil and enters the magnetic field, circulating eddy currents are induced within the metal. The resistance of the metal to the flow of the eddy currents causes the metal to heat up. In this webcast, the operation principles of induction heating technology used for both heating and melting, its applications and EPRI case studies will be presented. The information of vendors as well as other links to reference materials will be presented at the end.
Chapter 7: Fluxtrol Induction Heating Case Studies and Success StoriesFluxtrol Inc.
The document describes several case studies where Fluxtrol helped optimize induction heating processes by developing new induction coil designs and magnetic flux concentrator profiles. In each case, computer simulations identified issues with existing processes, and new coil designs with customized Fluxtrol concentrators achieved more uniform heating and resolved production problems. The optimized solutions improved part quality, increased production rates, and extended coil lifetimes.
Induction heating uses an alternating magnetic field generated by an induction coil to heat electrically conductive materials. The magnetic field induces eddy currents in the material, which generate heat inside the material. Induction heating has several advantages over other heating methods, including contactless heating, selective heating of parts, fast start-up and heating times, and no pollution of the surrounding area. The system consists of a power supply, induction coil, and water cooling unit. Common applications include melting, heat treatment, welding, and forging.
This document summarizes a computational study on using finned heat pipes to cool photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. The study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model heat transfer from a solar panel through a heat pipe with attached fins. The CFD analysis shows that attaching fins to a heat pipe can reduce the temperature of a solar panel by up to 20°C compared to no cooling. This temperature reduction can increase the panel's efficiency and power output. The study aims to develop a passive cooling system for PV panels using a low-cost finned heat pipe design.

This Application Note illustrates the use and advantages of dielectric heating, which as the name implies, is used for materials that are non-conducting. The essential advantage of dielectric heating is that the heat is generated within the material to be heated. In comparison with more conventional heating techniques (hot air, infrared, et cetera) in which the material is heated via the outer surface, dielectric heating is much more rapid. This is because electrical insulating materials, i.e. the domain of dielectric heating, are usually also poor conductors of heat.
Other interesting characteristics of radio frequency and microwave heating are the high power density and the potential for selectively heating materials. However, dielectric heating is a very expensive technique that cannot usually compete in cost terms with techniques such as resistance or infrared heating.
The document provides an overview of induction heating applications from EFD Induction. It discusses various industrial heating processes that can be performed using induction heating such as hardening, tempering, brazing, bonding, welding, annealing, pre-heating, post-heating, forging, melting, straightening and plasma cutting. It also briefly describes how induction heating works and the benefits it provides for industrial applications. EFD Induction offers a range of equipment and solutions for different induction heating applications.
Low defect density AlGaN/GaN structures are promising for high-power electronic applications but current designs have poor thermal management, reducing performance and reliability. Research aims to maximize thermal conductivity through native substrates with high conductivity and minimizing defect density in materials. Using hydride vapor phase epitaxy with low-temperature interlayers can yield lower defect density at reduced cost. The authors characterized AlGaN grown on GaN substrates using HVPE and found thermal conductivity was highest for low and high aluminum content, while mid-range samples were lower, and their samples had significantly higher conductivity than previous studies due to lower dislocation density.

Dielectric heating employs the polarization effect to heat non-metallic materials. When an alternating electric field is applied, the molecules in the material align with the changing field, causing internal heating through molecular friction. The power loss from the lag between the current and voltage applied to a capacitor is used to heat the dielectric medium. The ease of heating depends on the material's loss factor, which represents power dissipation and is dependent on temperature and electric field strength. Dielectric heating has applications in plastic welding, rubber vulcanization, food processing, and more. An electric arc furnace uses an electric arc to melt scrap metal by forming an arc between graphite electrodes and the charged material.
This document summarizes an experiment to measure the out-of-plane thermal conductivity of flexible substrate materials like polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polyethylene teraphthalate (PET). A steady-state method is used where a heat flux is applied through one copper block in contact with the substrate, and the temperature difference across the substrate is measured. Thermal conductivity values are determined from the temperature differences and heat fluxes for substrates of varying thicknesses. The results indicate low thermal conductivity for flexible substrates, which could challenge thermal management in flexible electronics due to limited heat spreading and lack of active cooling options.

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concern the generation, use, conversion and exchange of thermal energy, heat between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified in to various mechanisms such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation & transfer of energy by phase change. Most of the electronic equipment are low power and produce negligible amount of heat in their operation. Some devices, such as power transistors, CPU's, & power diodes produce a significant amount of heat. so sufficient measures are need to be taken so as to prolong their working life and reliability.

Thermal conductivity values are determined from the temperature differences and heat fluxes for substrates of varying thicknesses. The results indicate low thermal conductivity for flexible substrates, which could challenge thermal management in flexible electronics due to limited heat spreading and lack of active cooling options.

This document summarizes research on modeling the thermal and electrical performance of a densely packed concentrating photovoltaic receiver. A numerical model was developed to simulate the spectral response, electrical output, and thermal behavior of the receiver. Both 2D and 3D finite element analysis were conducted in COMSOL Multiphysics to predict the cell surface temperature under varying ambient conditions and convective heat transfer coefficients. The results showed passive cooling is not sufficient to dissipate heat from a densely packed configuration, and an effective cooling system with a heat transfer coefficient over 2.5 kW/m2K would be required.
The document summarizes research on using composite thin films embedded with microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) for passive thermal management of electronic devices. Through modeling, three effective configurations were identified that reduced temperature peaks and cooling times compared to a plain film. The first two used a 450μm thick film with 40% and 60% PCM, reducing temperature by 9% and 13% respectively. The third used a 400μm thick film with 60% PCM, reducing temperature by 11% and cooling time by 19%. Larger thicknesses and PCM fractions generally improved thermal performance but required optimizing the phase change temperature. Future work could refine the model and experimentally validate the results.

Project Presentation on Heat Conduction ApparatusZaber Ismaeel
Heat Conduction:
In heat transfer, conduction (or heat conduction) is the transfer of heat energy by microscopic diffusion and collisions of particles or quasi-particles within a body due to a temperature gradient. The microscopically diffusing and colliding objects include molecules, electrons, atoms, and phonons. They transfer microscopically disorganized kinetic and potential energy, which are jointly known as internal energy. Conduction can only take place within an object or material, or between two objects that are in direct or indirect contact with each other. Conduction takes place in almost all forms of matter, such as solids, liquids, gases and plasmas.
Thermal Conductivity of a metal:
Thermal conductivity is a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct heat, determined by the rate of heat flow normally through an area in the substance divided by the area and by minus the component of the temperature gradient in the direction of flow, measured in watts per meter per Kelvin. Symbol: K is used to denote thermal conductivity.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
