Perturbation of magnetization of a magnetic fluid by ultralow thermal fluctuations accompanying a sound wave

Abstract: The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental research of the the effect of perturbation of the magnetization of a magnetic fluid caused by thermal fluctuations in an adiabatic sound wave in the initial area of the magnetization curve. Measurements are conducted on samples of a magnetic colloid with various viscosity of the dispersion medium in the frequency range of 20–60 kHz. In this frequency range, the studied samples are characterized by the absence of thermal relaxation of magnetization. Comparison of the conclusions of the thermal magnetization relaxation model with the results of experiment make it possible to obtain information on the rheological features of the neareast molecular environment of a particle, i.e., nanorheology.

A cell model of heat conduction in multi-layer medium with variable number of the layers

Abstract: The heat conduction is an important part of heat transfer processes in power engineering, civil engineering, chemical technologies, etc. Variety of researches is devoted to theoretical and experimental study of the heat transfer by the heat conduction. At present, the considerable attention is concentrated on the heat conduction in media with variable boundaries (the so-called Stephan’s problem). A reason of a boundary motion can be burning-out of material, its wear, its melting with carry-over of a melt, other physic-chemical processes. Analytical solutions to the Stephan’s problem exist only after far-going assumptions, which lead to the loss of their practical value. The development of effective numerical methods of its solution becomes an actual scientific and practical problem. Such methods are to combine universality and physical clearness and convenience for engineering practice. In order to solve the problem, the method of mathematical modeling is used. The model uses the mathematical tools of the theory of Markov chains. It is adapted to the cell model of a medium, in which the number of cells can vary due to this or that mechanism of the edge cells interaction with outside medium. The heat transfer by the heat conduction and the heat interaction with the heat sources are described by the classical heat balance equations. The study of the influence of parameters on the process is performed by numerical methods. A mathematical model that allows describing transient heat processes in a multi-layer medium with variable number of layers is developed. The results of heat process calculation inside a plane wall with the moving boundary form the heat source side due to the boundary thermal distruction at a certain critical temperature are presented. The obtained results are physically consistent and approve the model workability. The principle differences between the heat processes in the walls with immovable and movable boundaries are found. It is shown that the temperature in a wall with moving boundary does not overbalance the critical temperature of the thermal distraction when the wall still exists, and the rate of the wall dimension decrease is growing with its dimension decrease.

Magnetic spring effect on the force characteristics of the electromechanical magnetic liquid damper

Abstract: The effect of a magnetic spring is observed in electromechanical devices with limited pole sizes. Simultane-ous changing of the system magnetic conductivity after a relative displacement of the poles causes mag-netic tension forces. These forces in electromechanical magnetic fluid dampers have their own specific characteristics which have not been studied before. All this requires studying the effect of a magnetic spring on the damper power characteristics, estimating the effect of the properties of a magnetorheological suspension on the magnetic spring strength, nature of its change and combination of the action of magnetic forces and viscosity resistance to the piston movement. To do that, it is important to analyze the effect of a magnetic spring in statics, at a slow movement of the piston and its dynamic oscillations. The studies were based on the theory of natural experiment and methods of processing experimental results. We have obtained and analyzed dependences of the resistance force of the electromechanical magnetic fluid damper for different vibration frequencies and magnetic inductions. The effect of magnetic spring forces on the damper power characteristic has been investigated. It has been found how the damper resistance force is affected by the magnetic and hydrodynamic components. The use of a damper with alternating elements with high and low magnetic conductivities makes it possible to change the strength characteristic of electromechanical magnetic fluid dampers. The proportion of the force controlled by the magnetic field reaches 75 % of the total effort. The use of the magnetic spring effect allows increasing the damping efficiency at small amplitudes and vibration frequencies. Increasing the magnetic properties of a magnetorheological suspension enhances the effect of a magnetic spring if the piston is non-magnetic, and weakens it if it is a magnetic one. When the magnetic induction rises, the effect of the magnetic spring increases. By changing the initial piston position, it is possible to obtain an asymmetrical power characteristic, for example, without using valves and spools, to increase the rebound force and to reduce the compressive force. If there are no moving parts, the damper reliability increases.

Mathematical simulation of extra-high voltage overhead transmission lines for travelling-wave-based relay protection devices

Abstract: The complexity of transient processes during travelling-wave propagation in extra high voltage overhead lines is deter-mined by the fact that many frequency components are presented in the electromagnetic wave front. For the correct analysis of the aforementioned transient processes and for further development of travelling-wave-based relay protec-tion and fault location devices, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of the environment where electromagnetic wave propagation occurs. For the transmission line, these parameters are longitudinal inductance, longitudinal resistance, shunt capacitance and shunt resistive conductance. It is worth mentioning that for a variety of reasons unit-area longitudinal inductance and resistance are the parameters which depend on frequency, thus travelling wave velocity is different for different frequency components of the electromagnetic wave front. The popular researches which address this problem either fail to consider the dependence of overhead line inductance and resistance on frequency or this dependence is considered approximately for the high-frequency range, which can cause significant errors in the transient processes analysis during travelling wave propagation. In view of this, the development of the approach to overhead transmission lines simulation, which will allow both determining the line parameters in a wide frequency range and evaluating steady-state behaviour and transient processes in long-distance transmission lines, arrears relevant. The main research method to establish extra-high voltage transmission line parameters employs the simulation study in COMSOL Multiphysics. A number of assumptions were made in the simulation process: homogeneous soil layer, entire transmission line section and absence of transmission line conductor sag. The usage of finite elements method (FEM) for differential equation solution in the above-mentioned software is also seen as an assumption. The approach to extra-high voltage transmission lines simulation has been offered. This approach consists of the usage of Maxwell’s equations in combination with numerical integration with finite elements method (FEM). Frequency response for transmission line parameters and travelling-wave propagation velocity rate for different frequency components have been obtained. The results obtained can be used in updating of electrical power system models for further research in the relay protection field. The suggested approach will allow evaluating line parameters of other voltage types and obtaining more accurate values of transmission line parameters and travelling wave propagation speed along transmission lines for high-frequency range. The use of these transmission line models will enable to formulate approaches to improve the existing algorithms of travelling-wave-based relay protection and fault location devices.
