This paper deals with the simulation of induction heating of conducting workpieces with a complex shape and topology. We assume that its conductivity is high, which, owing to the skin effect bars the fields from penetrating deep into the conductors. This justifies the use of a simple magnetostatic model that describes the magnetic field outside the workpiece and the inductor. Field concentratin...

An accurate 2D steady state mathematical model for induction heating process is described and additional results of electromagnetic field, eddy currents distribution and volumetric heat generation have been computed for a sample setup using a finite element method. For the calculations, the input voltage of induction coil is set to be 200 V with a frequency of 10 kHz. It was shown that for the ...

-This paper presents a review of different types of Induction cooker design which can be used for domestic heating and industrial heating applications. The designs focus on optimized power regulation strategy.

High quality heating device made of ferromagnetic alloy (thermal seed) was developed for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Ferromagnetic seeds of PdNi, PdCo and CuNi are prepared by induction furnace and subsequent heat treatment. Magnetic induction and hysteresis loops are measured as functions of temperature. The power dissipated from each seed was calculated from the area enclosed by the hys...
