gas tungsten arc welding is a popular process in those applications requiring a high degree of quality andaccuracy. however, this process has a big disadvantage against the substantially high productivity weldingprocedures. hence, many efforts have been made to improve its productivity. one of these efforts is the use of activating flux (a-tig welding). in this study, the performance of a-tig w...

Stator flux oriented vector control of induction motor (IM) drives for speed sensorless control has several advantages. But the application of a pure integrator for the flux estimation is difficult due to the presence of measurement noise and dc offset. To overcome these problems, some have used a programmable cascaded low pass filter (PCLPF). In this paper, it is shown that some problems still...

Over the last ten years, robustness of schemes has raised an increasing interest among the CFD community. The objective of this article is to solve the quasi-one-dimensional compressible flow inside a “Shubin nozzle” and to investigate Bean-Warming and flux vector splitting methods for numerical solution of compressible flows. Two different conditions have been considered: first, there is a sup...

Axial field flux switching motor with sandwiched permanent magnet (AFFSSPM) is a novel of flux switching motor. Based on the vector control method, the mathematical model of the AFFSSPM is derived and the operating performance of the AFFSSPM in the overall operating region is investigated.A novel control method for the AFFSSPM drive system, including the id =0, maximum torque per ampere, consta...

In this paper the optimal control of boundary heat flux in a 2-D solid body with an arbitrary shape is performed in order to achieve the desired temperature distribution at a given time interval. The boundary of the body is subdivided into a number of components. On each component a time-dependent heat flux is applied which is independent of the others. Since the thermophysical properties are t...

In this work, a more accurate prediction of liquid evaporation flux has been achieved. The statistical rate theory approach, which is recently introduced by Ward and Fang and exact estimation of vapor pressure in the layer adjacent to the liquid–vapor interface have  been used for prediction of this flux. Firstly, the existence of an equilibrium layer adjacent to the liquid-vapor interface ...
