Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper the problem of two-dimensional steady state heat flow in an induction motor is solved using finite-element formulation and employing simple triangular elements in the xy plane of the rectangular co-ordinate system. The shape functions and exact solution matrices are derived algebraically for utmost economy in computation. The global system of equations is determined by a suitable algorithm to avoid repeated calculations of the elemental stiffness matrix. The temperature distribution has been computed considering convection form the outer boundary surfaces of the machine.
