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.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the relative contribution of the convective heat transfer in the forearm and hand to 1) the total heat loss during partial immersion in cold water [water temperature (Tw) = 20 degrees C] and 2) the heat gained during partial immersion in warm water (Tw = 38 degrees C). The heat fluxes from the skin of the forearm and finger were continuously monitored during the 3.5-h immersion of the upper limb (forearm and hand) with 23 recalibrated heat flux transducers. The last 30 min of the partial immersion were conducted with an arterial occlusion of the forearm. The heat flux values decreased during the occlusion period at Tw = 20 degrees C and increased at Tw = 38 degrees C for all sites, plateauing only for the finger to the value of the tissue metabolic rate (124.8 +/- 29.0 W/m3 at Tw = 20 degrees C and 287.7 +/- 41.8 W/m3 at Tw = 38 degrees C). The present study shows that, at thermal steady state during partial immersion in water at 20 degrees C, the convective heat transfer between the blood and the forearm tissue is the major heat source of the tissue and accounts for 85% of the total heat loss to the environment. For the finger, however, the heat produced by the tissue metabolism and that liberated by the convective heat transfer are equivalent. At thermal steady state during partial immersion in water at 38 degrees C, the blood has the role of a heat sink, carrying away from the limb the heat gained from the environment and, to a lesser extent (25%), the metabolic and conductive heats. These results suggest that during local cold stress the convective heat transfer by the blood has a greater role than that suggested by previous studies for the forearm but a lesser role for the hand.

Laboratory freezing tests were performed on a saturated clayey silt at various pore-water salinities and applied pressures to establish the relationships between pore-water salinity, overburden, and the amount of moisture transfer during freezing near thermal steady state conditions. The experimental data confirmed that the concept of segregation potential established for salt-free soils can be extended to saline soils. The segregation potential at the onset of the final ice lens in step-freezing tests (or near thermal steady state) should be related to the average salinity of the frozen fringe associated with the final ice lens. This pore-water salinity is different from the initial pore-water salinity as a result of solute exclusion at the ice lenses causing an enrichment as freezing proceeds. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to determine the average salinity in the frozen fringe owing to its small size. Instead, it is proposed to use the initial water salinity to develop the constitutive equations in freezing saline soils. A procedure for frost heave predictions in the field is outlined. Key words: freezing tests, clayey silt, saline water, frost heave.

Abstract The static analysis of a copper roller shaft is performed. The copper roller shaft consists of bushing, pen roll and roller. All of those components g4bconsist of different materials. Thermal steady state and statical analysis is performed in order to investigate the thermal effect of high temperature copper slab on the roller shaft. The copper slab temperature is 1200 OC. Based on this work obtained that the maximum total deformation is 0.0050523 m, maximum equivalent stress is 41600 MPa, maximum life cycle is 1011, total heat flux maximum is 879910 W/m2 and the maximum damage occur in the pen roll component.
