RESEARCH OF EFFECT OF MATRIX PLASTIC ELEMENTS SHAPE ON POWER CHARACTERISICS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC POLYGRAIDIENT SEPARATOR

Abstract

Research of influence of elements shape of a multicomponent lamellar matrix of polygradient electromagnetic separator on its strength characteristics. For analysis of magnetic field distribution in working area of electromagnetic separator the finite element method has been used, implemented in ELCUT 5.6 software package. A numerical-field analysis of magnetic field distribution in working interpolar zones of matrix with a polygradient medium on the basis of inserts in form of an isosceles trapezium and triangular plates with a rounded apex has been carried out. According to analysis results, the maximum values of power characteristics of electromagnetic polygradient separator have been established. For a multicomponent lamellar matrix of polygradient electromagnetic separator certain geometrical dimensions of matrix elements of various shapes, at which power characteristics of device acquire the maximum value have been defined. The results of research can be used for improvement of power characteristics of basic design of electromagnetic polygradient separator
