Several examples of flow pattern are presented to show the influence of aerodynamic conditions on particle transportation. The characteristic flow phenomena around stagnation point flow and vortices generated behind the wafer are made clear from the observed streamlines by the Schlieren method. The observed flow field for the vertical airflow over a horizontal wafer is compared with the simulation result given in Liu et al. (1987). The dependence of airflow on wafer surface temperature is also discussed. Results show that the fluid flow for a normal condition is an axisymmetric flow, while, for a wafer heated condition, the behavior of fluid flow is changed extremely and the effect of thermal convection is dominant compared with the main downward air flow.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":294244,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1991 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128713508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The procedure is comprehensive because it begins with the fundamental selection of pole numbers and geometry, and proceeds to final design. It provides a complete, clear and concise path to a successful design for a low torque-ripple drive. There are two important contributions of the work presented. First, the design procedure explicates the issues involved in designing VRMs for torque-ripple sensitive applications. Second, results of the motor design are amenable to simple control methods which offer acceptable performance in many applications. In the procedure outlined the VRM geometry, inverter voltages are tailored to minimize torque ripple.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":294244,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1991 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132420560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ILS is a logic-based, data-driven learning system, focusing on the problem of learning structural descriptions. ILS is tailored to design electrical system components. In the present work, ILS is used for specifying the major components of an electrical substation. The learning system will learn design rules and concepts from positive and negative examples in the form of existing substations.

The authors present two thermal bridge concepts that increase the performance of a T12 lamp/fixture under typical operating conditions. The first bridge utilizes the conformable and convective properties of a liquid heat sink. The second bridge utilizes the semiridged and conductive properties of aluminum and copper. The results indicate that a potential 10-20% increase in light output can be maintained by applying a thermal bridge system to cool a small section of the lamp's surface. This corresponds to a recovery of 300-600 lumens per lamp. Additional advantages of using the thermal bridge systems are small size, minimal optical losses, no dust factor that is associated with vented fixture designs, and potentially low integration cost.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":294244,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1991 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131316886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that application of the proposed switching network in a three-phase AC to DC boost converter yields zero switching losses while maintaining a unity input power factor. Active network capacitor, C/sub s/, diodes D/sub 7/ and D/sub 8/ maintain a zero voltage during turn-off of Q/sub 1/ and Q/sub 2/. Capacitor discharges through the boost inductors of the circuit, thus limiting the rate of rise of current during turn-on. Moreover, the advantage of the proposed active network is that it can maintain a zero voltage switching over the entire range of the duty cycle of the operation. Consequently, boost stage can be used directly to control the DC bus voltage by varying the duty cycle at constant switching frequency.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":294244,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1991 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126251488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
