Direct current motors (DC motor) are used in the small electric devices commonly. DC motor are cheap and easy to install, thus their popularity. Despite the popularity, faults occur which make diagnosis and detection of faults very important. It avoids financial loss and unexpected shutdown operation causes by these faults. This paper presents an analysis of temperature profile of the much famous small Brushed DC motor with a faulty bearing. The temperature data of healthy DC motor and DC motor with faulty bearing were measured by thermocouple and recorded using data logger in real time until steady state temperature, under different load. The analysis on the steady state temperature allow to conclude that bearing fault can clearly be recognised through characteristics temperature difference with a healthy motor.

The mathematical model of steady state thermal analysis of accessory transmission system is built according to heat transfer theory, the governing equation functional of the steady state temperature field of accessory transmission system is derived on the basis of the variation principle, and the method to calculate the steady state temperature field of accessory transmission system is proposed with the finite element software ANSYS and its secondary switching language APDL. The result shows that the prediction of temperature field fit in with the heat flow law, then the correctness and validity of the proposed thermal analysis method is verified.

A method is described to quantify regional blood flow by thermal analysis. A weak temperature field is established in a tissue and for a thermal steady state, unidirectional heat flux and the associated temperature gradient are measured simultaneously across a small fixed segment of the tissue. This information is evaluated with probe calibrations for homogeneous isotropic fluids, with data from ancillary measurements in the nonperfused tissue and with values of specific heat and density of blood to express local blood flow in heat transfer [effective thermal conductivity (W. degrees C-1 . cm-1 x 10(-3) and/or in perfusion (ml . min-1 . cm-3)] terms. The technique measures local perfusion in small tissue volumes and is usable in acute or chronic experiments. Its accuracy is not a function of the absolute steady-state temperature of the tissue or of its metabolic heat production.

Finite element analysis and corresponding experimental comparisons of temperature were performed to investigate the thermal behaviour of spherical plain bearings with self-lubricating fabric liner. Based on the theory of heat transfer, tribology and composite material mechanics, a sequentially coupled, 3D, thermo-mechanical finite element analysis model of the bearing system was built up, in which the steady-state temperature distribution from the thermal analysis was applied as a body load to the structural model. As a result, the maximum steady-state temperature of 78.1°C, von Mises stress of 299MPa, displacement of 0.0806mm along Z axis of the bearing are presented, together with the maximum contact pressure of 324MPa which are significant in the structural design and optimization of these bearings. The effect of temperature rise on the contact pressure distribution is discussed. The agreement of the temperature computation results with the experimental data indicates that this method could be used to analyze virtually any such bearing.

In this paper, we propose a method for the identification of the differential inductance of saturable ferrite inductors adopted in DC–DC converters, considering the influence of the operating temperature. The inductor temperature rise is caused mainly by its losses, neglecting the heating contribution by the other components forming the converter layout. When the ohmic losses caused by the average current represent the principal portion of the inductor power losses, the steady-state temperature of the component can be related to the average current value. Under this assumption, usual for saturable inductors in DC–DC converters, the presented experimental setup and characterization method allow identifying a DC thermal steady-state differential inductance profile of a ferrite inductor. The curve is obtained from experimental measurements of the inductor voltage and current waveforms, at different average current values, that lead the component to operate from the linear region of the magnetization curve up to the saturation. The obtained inductance profile can be adopted to simulate the current waveform of a saturable inductor in a DC–DC converter, providing accurate results under a wide range of switching frequency, input voltage, duty cycle, and output current values.
