ABSTRACTAnalyses of a floating zone (FZ) crystal growth system with a radio frequency (RF) induction heating are carried out. The electromagnetic and temperature fields, and surface interfaces are solved for numerically. Finite element methods are used for the calculation of the temperature fields and interfaces and the hybrid finite element and boundary element methods are used for the calculation of the electromagnetic field. The calculation domain is divided into eleven regions, each of which, except for the RF coil region, require a coordinate transformation. In the present study, the silicon FZ growth system ,where the diameter of both feed-rod and single crystal were set to be 1cm was computed. The Lorentz force is found to play an important role in determining the melt free surface shape and the molten zone length. The effect of the current density, frequency of RF coil and crystal growth rate are investigated.

Induction heating possesses wide application in surface hardening for steels. In recent years, the emergence of metal powder bonded magnetic flux concentrator (MPB-MFC) enables induction heating better capability, efficiency, and controllability, therefore the analytical understanding through modeling and simulation becomes necessary for process design and optimization. In this paper, the mechanism of the energy transformation in induction heating with magnetic flux concentrator is carried out. The MPB-MFC assisted induction heating for AISI 1045 steel is studied by comparing the finite element simulation with experimental results. The finite element model solves the coupled electro-magnetic-thermal computation problem, which also involves the consideration of the non-linear material magnetic properties in the process. To verify the simulation, middle-frequency induction heating experiments are conducted to compare with the simulated results. The comparison proves the efficacy of the FEM model, and discloses the inner-correlation of the thermal-magnetic-electric fields in the process.

Power transformers play an indispensable component in AC transmission systems. If the operating condition of a power transformer can be accurately predicted before the equipment is operated, it will help transformer manufacturers to design optimized power transformers. In the optimal design of the power transformer, the design value of the magnetic flux density in the core is important, and it affects the efficiency, cost, and life cycle. Therefore, this paper uses the software of ANSYS Maxwell to solve the instantaneous magnetic flux density distribution, core loss distribution, and total iron loss of the iron core based on the finite element method in the time domain. . In addition, a new external excitation equation is proposed. The new external excitation equation can improve the accuracy of the simulation results and reduce the simulation time. Finally, the three-phase five-limb transformer is developed, and actually measures the local magnetic flux density and total core loss to verify the feasibility of the proposed finite element method of model and simulation parameters.
