Bi-2223／Ag超导闭合线圈的制备及其电流衰减特性的研究

本文研究了使用Bi-2223／Ag超导带材制备超导闭合线圈的工艺及超导闭合线圈中电流衰减的特性．在闭合线圈焊接点的制作上，分别采用了超导焊接和普通焊锡焊接两种不同方法．通过测量闭合线圈中心点的磁场衰减过程，观察了这两种闭合线圈中电流衰减的特性．实验发现，使用超导焊接技术制备的闭合线圈，电流衰减与时间的自然对数成线性关系，在线圈局部受损伤的情况下，上述关系仍然成立；使用普通焊锡焊接方法制备的闭合线圈，电流衰减不存在上述关系，但也不是时间的e指数函数．     

Electric field measurements and computational modeling at ultrahigh-field MRI

While magnetic resonance images essentially contain a map of the both circularly polarized components of the RF transverse magnetic fields (B(1) field), the thermal heat and electromagnetic power deposition is generated by the associated electric fields. Measurement of electric field distributions/intensities across a sample yields an indirect indication of possible cause of heating within the sample and potentially enables the detection of "hot spots," which can be present within inhomogeneous radiofrequency (RF) fields, such as the case with magnetic resonance imaging at high field strength. As a result, establishing a valid technique for direct measurements of the electric field and its correlation, obtained using computational electromagnetics, is essential in assessing (1) the safety of the RF coil designs and (2) the validity of the calculations. In this work, a probe was built and used to measure the transverse electric field (E(1) field) distributions within an empty 8 T (tuned to 340 MHz) RF head coil and within a saline water phantom loaded in the same coil. The measured E(1) field distributions were favorably compared to the distributions obtained utilizing a finite difference time domain in-house package.     

Optimal phased-array combination for spectroscopy

A method for making weighted linear combinations of the spectra acquired by a phased-array coil is described. Unlike most previous combination methods, no special reference points in the data are chosen to represent the coil weights. Instead, all the data points are used, which results in optimal signal-to-noise ratio more reliable estimation. The method uses singular value decomposition to identify the coil weights and extract the principal component of variation in the signal. Subsequent processing of the combined signal (e.g., Fourier transform, baseline correction, phasing) may proceed as per a single coil acquisition.     

Fluid flow in curved ducts

The advent of standard algorithms for the numerical solution of partial differential equations has given researchers a new tool for fluid flow calculations. In this paper, single-phase flow in curved ducts is numerically simulated by imposing a spatially varying centrifugal force on a fluid flowing in a straight tube. The resulting set of partial differential equations is solved using the HARWELL-FLOW3D computer program. Comparison with other numerical and experimental results shows that this simplified formulation gives accurate results. The model neglects certain geometric terms of the order d/D, the duct-to-coil diameter ratio. The effect of these terms is investigated by considering the flow in a 90° bend for large d/D. It is shown that while there may be significant error in the prediction of the local variables for large d/D, the circumference-averaged quantities are well predicted.

A Condition for a Translation Quiver to Be a Coil

We single out a class of translation quivers and prove combinatorially that the translation quivers in this class are coils.These coils form a class of special coils.They are easier to visualize,but still show all the strange behaviour of general coils,and contain quasi-stable tubes as special examples.     

DESIGN OF THE AIR-CORE TRANSFORMER IN SPHERICAL OKAMAK

An ideal current distribution in the air-core transformer coils is obtained using variation principle.Climbing mountain method is utilized for optimizing the dimension and position of the real coils.Not only can the requirement of minimizing the stray field in the plasma region be guaranteed,but also integer turns for the coil can be realized.The latter brings a significant convenience to engineering.
