Electromagnetic–thermal–mass transport triple hybrid model for energy-efficient hydrogen release from metal particles by induction heating

Hydrogen storage in metals is anticipated to be a highly promising technical approach for managing hydrogen in diverse energy applications, emphasizing the need to establish efficient operating conditions. In this study, we developed a numerical model that can simultaneously calculate hydrogen and heat transport combined with electromagnetic induction heating of metal particles. Using the developed numerical simulator, we investigated the behavior of the hydrogen release process from the hydrogen-absorbing metal and proposed important indicators for the operation. The fractions of the electromagnetic energy absorbed by the metal particle used for the hydrogen release, sensible heat, interfacial heat conduction, and thermal radiation were systematically evaluated. Considering the trade-off between temperature rise and the hydrogen concentration gradient, an optimal diameter of metal particles existed for the maximum hydrogen release rate. Similarly, the trade-off between temperature rise and energy consumption revealed an optimal electromagnetic power density for the heat utilization fraction for hydrogen release. Our electromagnetic–thermal–mass transport triple hybrid model constitutes a useful numerical simulator for the design of energy-efficient hydrogen storage systems.

Enhancement of laser ablation via high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating

The efficiency of pulsed laser ablation has always been the focus point of research. A novel high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating-assisted laser ablation scheme is proposed and investigated to enhance the efficiency and improve the surface processing quality during the nanosecond laser ablation of metal substrates. To reduce laser energy required to reach the ablation threshold of metal, this method utilizes the electromagnetic induction to rapidly elevate substrate temperature, making the metal easier to be ablated. The results show that ablation width increases 16% and ablation depth increases 31% with the assistance of electromagnetic induction heating at a laser fluence of 1.32 J/cm2, which increases 90% of the laser-ablated volume. Meanwhile, the surface ablation quality is significantly improved due to the smaller temperature gradient around the ablation region. This new method has great potentials in the laser micromachining at a higher processing efficiency and better laser-processed surface quality.

Study of the effect of electromagnetic damping force on a magnet oscillating near a non-ferromagnetic conducting plate

Abstract We have designed an experiment that involves studying the effects of a conducting plate on the motion of an oscillating disc magnet. We have employed the video analysis method by ‘Tracker’ software to investigate the variation of electromagnetic damping coefficient with distance between the plate and the magnet. This experiment can indeed serve as a valuable educational tool for undergraduate students, covering topics such as damped oscillation, electromagnetic damping, Lenz's law, and eddy currents.

Effect of aging level on the healing properties of an induction-heated ultra-thin wearing course and its mechanism

Electromagnetic induction heating can accelerate crack self-healing in asphalt concrete and extend its service life. In the maintenance project of existing pavements, induction heating and ultra-thin wearing course can be combined by paving functional induction heating wearing course. However, the ultra-thin wearing course is directly affected by the environment and loading, and undergoes aging in the service process. Thermo-oxidative aging is an irreversible and important mechanism that seriously affect the rheological and healing properties of asphalt. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to examine the impact of thermo-oxidative aging on the induction heating-healing of an ultra-thin wearing course mixture. Firstly, the AC-5 induction heated ultra-thin wearing course (IHUC) containing 1 % steel wool fiber by aggregate mass was prepared. Subsequently, the IHUC was aged to six different levels. Then, the induction heating and healing properties of the aged IHUC were evaluated. Simultaneously, the aged asphalt binder was extracted and its rheological characteristics and chemical alterations were studied. The outcomes showed that the heating rate of IHUC decreased, but the temperature gradient effect reduced at higher aging level. The optimal healing temperature of IHUC shifted to a higher temperature region and the healing rate decreased. Both heating cycles and thermo-oxidative aging reduce healing effectiveness, but the impact of heating cycles is less compared to aging. Rheology and chemical structure test results of extracted asphalt binder showed that the transformation of the molecular structure caused the fluidity and self-healing properties of asphalt were decreased. This ultimately decreased the healing rate of IHUC.

Lift-Off Effect of Koch and Circular Differential Pickup Eddy Current Probes

A flexible or planar eddy current probe with a differential structure can suppress the lift-off noise during the inspection of defects. However, the extent of the lift-off effect on differential probes, including different coil structures, varies. In this study, two planar eddy current probes with differential pickup structures and the same size, Koch and circular probes, were used to compare lift-off effects. The eddy current distributions of the probes perturbed by 0° and 90° cracks were obtained by finite element analysis. The analysis results show that the 90° crack can impede the eddy current induced by the Koch probe even further at relatively low lift-off distance. The peak-to-peak values of the signal output from the two probes were compared at different lift-off distances using finite element analysis and experimental methods. In addition, the effects of different frequencies on the lift-off were studied experimentally. The results show that the signal peak-to-peak value of the Koch probe for the inspection of cracks in 90° orientation is larger than that of the circular probe when the lift-off distance is smaller than 1.2 mm. In addition, the influence of the lift-off distance on the peak-to-peak signal value of the two probes was studied via normalization. This indicates that the influence becomes more evident with an increase in excitation frequency. This research discloses the lift-off effect of differential planar eddy current probes with different coil shapes and proves the detection merit of the Koch probe for 90° cracks at low lift-off distances.

Advancements in Continuum Mechanics and Electrodynamics by a spacetime geometric approach

AbstractResults achieved by the authors in the course of research activity on continuum mechanics and electrodynamics (CME) during the past twenty years are illustrated, revised and discussed. Adoption of a geometric approach leads to renewal of concepts and methods of classical CME and to formulation in Euclid (3+1)D ambient spacetime wherein innovation, clarity and depth of a geometric treatment naturally emerge. The dissemination of novel concepts and methods in CME is not delayable, with critical revisitation of problematic notions, analyses and results still currently on the scene. Material frame indifference, equilibrium in a reference configuration, extremality principles in Dynamics, finite elasticity, chain decomposition of finite strain in elasto-thermo-plasticity, variance of electro-magnetic induction laws under frame changes, action on electric charges moving in a magnetic field, are under the spotlight of innovation and advancement. Fostering basic knowledge of Differential Geometry and application of geometric notions and methods contribute effective tools in formulating meaningful rules, amending misstatements and dimming debates based on vague affirmations.

The configuration and detection characteristics of a 3D holographic LWD instrument antenna system based on multi-component EM induction theory

In order to improve the precision of electromagnetic resistivity logging, while ensuring the reliability of boundary detection and anisotropy identification, this study starts from the theory of multi-component electromagnetic induction. Through deriving the formula of component responses, the analytical expressions of electromagnetic wave fields are obtained for various coil pairs of azimuthal instruments. A 3D holographic LWD instrument antenna configuration is constructed, with co-planar and non-coplanar, tilted and orthogonal coil combinations, all components of the magnetic field tensor Hxx,Hxy,Hxz,Hyx,Hyy,Hyz,Hzx,Hzx,HzzHxx,Hxy,Hxz,Hyx,Hyy,Hyz,Hzx,Hzx,Hzz are successfully resolved. With the combination of some or all components, functional signals are generated for specific detection objectives. Numerical simulation of the response of those signals shows that the distance of boundary detection and anisotropy identification capability are superior to traditional geo-signals. The response relationship shows that as the contrast of the formation resistivity decreases and the well deviation angle increases, the anisotropy identification capability gradually strengthens, and the signal strength and identification capability are better at frequency in the range of 400–600 kHz. The proposed antenna configuration has the potential to significantly enhance formation evaluation and to improve geo-steering capability, contributing technology-wise to the optimal landing trajectory and best wellbore position, resulting in cost saving and maximize oil & gas production.

Processing map for touch‐free flash sintering of a whiteware ceramic

AbstractFlash sintering has evolved into touch‐free sintering, where free‐standing workpieces can be sintered without attaching electrodes. Instead, the flash is transmitted from the surface of a reactor into the workpiece with superimposition of a magnetic field. Thus, sintering now depends on two independent parameters: the current used to sustain the flash in the reactor and the current flowing through the induction coil. We present a first report on the influence of these two parameters on the quality of the sintered workpiece. The specimens were made from whiteware, consisting of aggregates of ceramic particles interspersed with particles of a glass phase. The results are presented in a map with the reactor current and the induction current as the control variables. Three regimes are identified: insufficient sintering, good sintering, and the formation of defects. The reactor current emerges as an important variable: densification is poor if it is too low, and defects form if it is too high, with high density achieved in the intermediate regime. High induction currents are needed to achieve good sintering. Touch‐free flash sintering has also been shown to sinter and at the same time transform powders of elemental oxides into a single‐phase multicomponent ceramic.

3-D imaging of whole-space environments with electromagnetic induction sensors based on linear approximation

Accurate mapping of the periphery of tunnel has become an essential step in underground mining and engineering. Because of high sensitivity to electric conductivity and magnetic permeability, the whole-space electromagnetic (EM) method has played an important role in geological forecast of groundwater and exploration of mineral ore. However, obtaining a three-dimensional (3-D) image of the whole-space EM method by 3-D inversion is challenging due to the limited observation space and inefficiencies in 3-D forward modeling algorithms. While 1-D inversion algorithms have long been used to map the periphery of the tunnel, various 3-D inversion algorithms have been successfully applied in other scenarios. Recently, the portable frequency domain loop-loop EM induction (EMI) measurement has been considered as an active source magnetic method in near surface surveys, because of the dominance of magnetic permeability in the in-phase (IP) response. The 3-D linear forward modeling method is developed based on the location-specific magnetic sensitivity function, and the 3-D inversion algorithm has been effectively employed for mapping magnetic anomalies in large-scale area. In this study, we intend to demonstrate that the EMI measurement can give 3-D image of the periphery of the tunnel by theory and numerical experiments. The IP response of EMI in whole-space is separated into three parts, and the 3-D linear forward modeling method is examined by analytical solution. The 1-D Fourier transform is used to accelerate the 3-D forward modeling, and the 3-D inversion show a good performance of mapping the magnetic abnormal bodies in underground space.

Performance improvement of metal hydride hydrogen compressors using electromagnetic induction heating

While there are some hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) functioning in different parts of the world, their use is not widespread enough, primarily due to their expensive cost. Hydrogen compression is a main contributor to the capital and operation costs of the HRS. By improving H2 compression technology, it is possible to optimize the infrastructure for refueling with hydrogen in terms of cost and performance. The use of metal hydride hydrogen compressors (MHHCs), which have the potential to be inexpensive and have the ability to use waste heat and renewable energy sources for the H2 compression, is a promising solution to overcome this issue. The duration of the H2 compression cycle is nevertheless a serious challenge due to the metal hydride (MH) bed's low heat conductivity. As a heating technique to improve the performance of MHHCs, electromagnetic induction (EMI) is examined numerically for the first time in this work. The dynamic behavior of a two-stage MHHC with each MH reactor having an external heat exchanger and being ringed by a copper coil traversed by an alternating current is described by a two-dimensional mathematical model, which was established and successfully verified by the reference data. Numerical simulations were performed with the help of this model, and the findings showed that the EMI heating method is faster than the heat transfer fluid (HTF) heating technique. For instance, at a delivery temperature of 373 K and a supply pressure of 20 bar, it is possible to produce 106 NL H2 per kilogram of HPMH at a pressure of 97 bar with a 74 % shorter compression time than with the HTF heating technique.

Bolt loosening monitoring with passive wireless-based smart washers

Ensuring sufficient preload of bolted connections is crucial for maintaining the safety of railway operations. Accidents resulting from loose bolts caused by inadequate preload are a recurring concern. Traditional bolt preload detection methods suffer from reliability issues and bulky equipment requirements. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel solution utilising passive wireless measurement systems. However, the communication effectiveness of these systems can be significantly impacted by the surrounding metal environment. This research introduces an intelligent clover washer design to mitigate the adverse effects of eddy currents induced by the metal environment. The design incorporates a new clover antenna and washer structure, effectively reducing the influence of the metal environment and improving the communication quality. The proposed design has undergone comprehensive prototyping, simulation and experimental verification. The results demonstrate a significant improvement over the traditional circular antenna and washer combination under similar conditions. Specifically, the sensing distance of the new clover washer is enhanced by 60% and the stable communication distance is improved by 75%. The experimental results highlight the ability of the new clover smart washer to generate a stronger spatial magnetic field and exhibit reduced susceptibility to the metal washer, thereby enhancing communication effectiveness.

Learning with multiple external representations in physics: Concreteness fading versus simultaneous presentation

AbstractMultiple external representations (MERs) are useful for teaching complex content in science education. An open question is whether there is an especially effective way to sequence MERs. On the one hand, the so‐called concreteness fading approach suggests starting instruction with more concrete representations and proceeding stepwise to more idealized representations. The effectiveness of this fading approach is, however, supported mainly by studies in mathematics education, while the results in physics are equivocal. On the other hand, presenting different representations simultaneously may support linking, that is, the comparison and contrast of representations, which may benefit learning. In an experimental classroom study (N = 187), we compared concreteness fading and simultaneous presentation of MERs for learning a challenging physics content in high school, namely, Faraday's law. We found no significant differences between conditions in posttest performance, and an equivalence test with bounds d = −0.5 to 0.5 showed that both approaches performed equally. The results align with previous findings questioning the superiority of concreteness fading over other ways of sequencing MERs. Therefore, facilitating students' understanding of a complex physics content may involve more than determining the optimal order of presenting MERs. We discuss limitations of the present study and implications for future research and practice.

Photons in Physics with real Magnetic Charges and the Falsity Existing Notion of Expansion Universe (How Physicists; "Yawn" Real Magnetic Charges, Curved Space and Sentenced the Universe to Expansion)

The experiments of F. Ehrenhaft as well as the experimental and theoretical studies of the author showed that it is magnetic charges are the direct sources of the magnetic field. Eddy currents of magnetic charges (rotating magnetic dipoles g- - g+) which actually exist in atoms and substance, are untwisted by electric current in conductors, are direct sources of the well-known vortex magnetic field rotH. Together with electric charges, magnetic charges make up the shells of atoms, which are actually electromagnetic, not electronic. It is the electromagnetic shells of atoms that are the sources of the vortex electromagnetic (gravitational) field, which is described by the vortex vector rot[E – H]. The vector character of GF is in many respects similar to the vortex magnetic field, which has been known for hundreds of years, but no one has come up with the version of spatial magnetic waves. Therefore, the notion of gravitational waves, according to the author, is another fake, inspired by crooked physics, in which there is absolutely no representation of the real physics of the gravitational field. The introduction of real magnetic charges into the basic physical representations, as well as the discovery by the author of the World Physical Triad, made it possible to clarify the essence of spinor fields which are flows of elementary particles of the world Energo-medium, which are formed by spinor (charged) particles. In addition, the article proves that the concept of the expansion of the Universe was the result of E. Hubble's erroneous (extremely superficial) perception, back in 1929, of the manifestation of the cosmological redshift of the photon frequency, which he interpreted as a Doppler shift in the frequency of the so-called light waves. The inclusion of real magnetic charges in the physical representations showed that the frequency processes in photons are determined exclusively by the intra-photon physics embedded in into at the moment of formation and cannot be the result of any spatial wave formations in the environment, i.e. the shifts of photonic frequency ∆ω have nothing to do with the Doppler effect and depend only on changes in the translational velocity of their source. In other words, the redshift of the photon frequency under the conditions of the translational motion of their sources is exactly the same, both in the case of the source moving to the observer, and in the case of its movement at the same speed away from the observer. As for the violet shift of the photon frequency, this is an unambiguous sign of the rotational dynamics of photon source, and in the case of combined motion of source (translational and rotational), the mechanism of photon frequency pulsations is possible.

Remote measurement of transient heat flux based on the thermomagnetic effect

Abstract Heat flux is a physical quantity that characterises the strength of heat transfer per unit area. Heat transfer occurs with a temperature difference. Herein, a remote heat flux measurement method based on the thermomagnetic effect is proposed. Using Bloch’s law, Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, and Fourier’s law, a temperature measurement model from heat flux to magnetisation of the magnetic film and finally to the induced electromotive force in the Helmholtz coil is established. A compression corner was fabricated, and the heat flux measurement method was experimentally verified in a Mach 6 shock tube wind tunnel. In addition, a Schlieren experiment was performed for comparison. In the experiments, the temperature resolution of the magnetic film reached 0.36 K, and the temperature response reached 100 kHz. The range of the proposed heat flux measurement method is up to 5 MW m m − 2 , and the measurement error is less than 10%. At a resolution of 10 μs, the change in heat flow is mapped when there is a transition for the magnetic film from flat to turbulent flow, which shows the different effects of hypersonic heat flux on the boundary layer and attachment position. The magnetic thin film shows the potential for heat flux estimation in our experiment.

Enhancing Electrical Conductivity of Stretchable Liquid Metal-Silver Composites through Direct Ink Writing.

Structure-property-process relationships are a controlling factor in the performance of materials. This offers opportunities in emerging areas, such as stretchable conductors, to control process conditions during printing to enhance performance. Herein, by systematically tuning direct ink write (DIW) process parameters, the electrical conductivity of multiphase liquid metal (LM)-silver stretchable conductors is increased by a maximum of 400% to over 1.06 × 106 S·m-1. This is achieved by modulating the DIW print velocity, which enables the in situ elongation, coalescence, and percolation of these multiphase inclusions during printing. These DIW printed filaments are conductive as fabricated and are soft (modulus as low as 1.1 MPa), stretchable (strain limit >800%), and show strain invariant conductivity up to 80% strain. These capabilities are demonstrated through a set of electromagnetic induction coils that can transfer power wirelessly through air and water, even under deformation. This work provides a methodology to program properties in stretchable conductors, where the combination of material composition and process parameters leads to greatly enhanced performance. This approach can find use in applications such as soft robots, soft electronics, and printed materials for deformable, yet highly functional devices.

Analytical determination of a quasi-stationary electromagnetic field created by magnetic moments and eddy currents in conducting half-space

Aim. Study of the distribution of a three-dimensional alternating quasi-stationary electromagnetic field at the surface of conducting half-space with strong skin-effect, the source of which is an arbitrarily oriented magnetic moment. Methodology. The expressions for non-uniform electromagnetic field with strong skin effect are used for the analysis, which is based on the found exact analytical solution of the general three-dimensional problem and the use of expansion into asymptotic series with respect to a small parameter that is proportional to the ratio of the field penetration depth to the distance between the sources of the external field and the surface of body. Specific expressions at the surface are completely determined by the known field of external sources. In this work, the external magnetic moment field is used. Results. For strong skin effect, expressions for the electric and magnetic field strength are obtained separately for the components of the magnetic moment oriented perpendicularly and parallel to the flat surface between the dielectric and conducting areas. The features of the electromagnetic field distribution are analyzed depending on the value of introduced small parameter. The results are presented for the module and phase shift of the field strength with respect to the phase of the external field source. Originality. The expressions found for the electromagnetic field appear to be more general than the use of closed contours with alternating current, since they extend types of external field sources and allow the use of the superposition method instead of integration over the entire contour. Practical value. The found specific analytical expressions of the electromagnetic field at the surface for the external field of magnetic moments significantly simplify the solution of the problems, since they do not require additional solution of the field equations.

3D electromagnetic analytical model for radial-flux eddy-current couplers

Purpose This paper aims to develop a new 3D analytical model in cylindrical coordinates to study radial flux eddy current couplers (RFECC) while considering the magnetic edge and 3D curvature effects, and the field reaction due to the induced currents. Design/methodology/approach The analytical model is developed by combining two formulations. A magnetic scalar potential formulation in the air and the magnets regions and a current density formulation in the conductive region. The magnetic field and eddy currents expressions are obtained by solving the 3D Maxwell equations in 3D cylindrical coordinates with the variable separation method. The torque expression is derived from the field solution using the Maxwell stress tensor. In addition to 3D magnetic edge effects, the proposed model takes into account the reaction field effect due to the induced currents in the conducting part. To show the accuracy of the developed 3D analytical model, its results are compared to those from the 3D finite element simulation. Findings The obtained results prove the accuracy of the new developed 3D analytical model. The comparison of the 3D analytical model with the 2D simulation proves the strong magnetic edge effects impact (in the axial direction) in these devices which must be considered in the modelling. The new analytical model allows the magnetic edge effects consideration without any correction factor and also presents a good compromise between precision and computation time. Practical implications The proposed 3D analytical model presents a considerably reduced computation time compared to 3D finite element simulation which makes it efficient as an accurate design and optimization tool for radial flux eddy current devices. Originality/value A new analytical model in 3D cylindrical coordinates has been developed to find the electromagnetic torque in radial flux eddy current couplers. This model considers the magnetic edge effects, the 3D curvature effects and the field reaction (without correction factors) while improving the computation time.

Geophysical methods reveal the soil architecture and subsurface stratigraphic heterogeneities across land-lake interfaces along Lake Erie

Abstract Purpose The land-lake interface is a unique zone where terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems meet, forming part of the Earth’s most geochemically and biologically active zones. The unique characteristics of this interface are yet to be properly understood due to the inherently high spatiotemporal variability of subsurface properties, which are difficult to capture with the traditional soil sampling methods. Geophysical methods offer non-invasive techniques to capture variabilities in soil properties at a high resolution across various spatiotemporal scales. Methods We combined electromagnetic induction (EMI), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and ground penetrating radar (GPR) with data from soil cores and in situ sensors to investigate hydrostratigraphic heterogeneities across land-lake interfaces along the western basin of Lake Erie. Results EMI revealed high spatial heterogeneities in ECa distribution across the land-lake interfaces, with higher values in the wetland and transition zones compared to the upland zone. Soil ECa maps matched soil maps from a public database with the hydric soil units delineated as high conductivity zones (ECa > 40 mS/m). ERT and GPR showed vertical variation in soil properties with clear stratigraphic boundaries, and correlation of ERT profiles with lithologs from piezometers revealed the stratigraphic units of silt–clay and till sequence down to 3.5 m depth which are consistent with the surficial geology of the study area. Conclusions These results validate the use of multiple geophysical methods for extrapolating soil properties and mapping stratigraphic structures at land-lake interfaces, thereby providing the missing information required to improve the earth system model (ESM) of coastal interfaces.

Experimental AC loss study on REBCO coil assemblies coupled with an iron cylinder

In high-temperature superconducting (HTS) power devices, the presence of iron cores changes the magnetic field profile around the HTS coil windings, potentially affecting their AC loss characteristics. AC loss measurements for HTS coil windings coupled with an iron core using the electrical method can lead to a significant error, owing to the indirect estimation of the iron core loss through using a copper test coil. To investigate the cause of the experimental error and the influence of an iron core on coil AC losses, transport AC losses of REBCO double pancake coil (DPC) assemblies coupled with an iron cylinder were measured. A 40-turn 1DPC and an 80-turn 2DPC assembly wound with 4 mm SuperPower wire were employed in the measurements. To ensure the same iron core loss using the HTS coil assembly and the copper coil, 2D finite element method simulations were conducted iteratively to design the iron core and the copper coil to get the same local magnetic field distributions in the designed iron core for the two cases. The main cause of the error is due to the difference in local magnetic flux densities in the iron core generated by the HTS coil assembly and the copper coil even when the ampere-turns of the coils are identical. We showed that the simulation-guided measurement method can assure accurate AC loss measurement in the HTS coil assemblies coupled with iron cores. Compared with the AC losses in the 1DPC and 2DPC coil assemblies without the iron cylinder, the presence of the iron cylinder significantly increases the coil losses. Frequency dependence is observed in the coil AC losses of the 1DPC and 2DPC assemblies when coupled with the iron cylinder. This is due to the eddy current induced in the iron cylinder generating a magnetic field, which influences the coil AC loss.

Co-hydrolysis of TEOS and DDS to obtain a modified hydrophobic SiO2 insulation layer for FeSiBC amorphous magnetic powder core with low energy loss

The hysteresis effect and eddy currents caused by alternating magnetic fields greatly impede the improvement of the working efficiency and performance stability of soft magnetic powder cores. In this work, modified hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and dimethyl-diethoxy-silane (DDS) as co-precursors through sol–gel methods. The effect of different proportions of DDS and TEOS on the amorphous magnetic powder cores performance was studied. It was demonstrated that the insulation layer in DDS and TEOS co-precursors hydrolyzed composite powders exhibited more uniform distribution compared with TEOS hydrolyzed alone counterpart. The introduction of methyl groups reduced the accumulation of hydrolysis intermediates on the surface of FeSiBC powders. Furthermore, the addition of DDS reduced eddy current loss significantly with a low hysteresis loss. The total energy loss of the DDS and TEOS co-hydrolysis powder core were reduced by 16.1 % and 7.7 % at 1 MHz, 0.05 T compared to the uncoated powder core and the TEOS hydrolysis alone counterpart, respectively. The presented results provide insights into improving the application range and energy utilization efficiency for the magnetic powder cores.
