Integration of Mutual Inductance

In summary: You then get four terms, one of which can be integrated easily.In summary, the mutual inductance between two windings of a 3-phase machine is calculated using a double integral involving the product of trigonometric functions. The first integral is done from ∏ to 2∏ and the second integral is done from ρ to ρ+∏. The result given in the textbook is ∏/2 * (A + Bcos(2(θ - ∏/3))). To solve this integral by hand, one can expand the cosine terms and use the identity cos(X)cos(Y)=(1/2)(cos(X+Y)-cos(X-Y)). This will result in four terms, one of which

Hello. I am working through the book "Analysis of Electric Machinery and Drive Systems" by Krause. On p.51, the mutual inductance between two windings (a and b) of a 3-phase machine (generator) is calculated. I am struggling to follow the integration performed on eqn 1.5-15 to arrive at eqn. 1.5-16

I have given the root of the problem: a double integral involving the product of trig. functions

Homework Statement



∫sin ρ ∫cos(ζ - 2∏/3)(A - Bcos(2(ζ - θ)) dζ dρ

first integral is done from ∏→2∏
second integral is done from ρ → ρ + ∏

result given in textbook is:

∏/2 * (A + Bcos(2(θ - ∏/3)))

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I tried expanding out the cosine and sine terms but the problem quickly blows up... :(

EDIT: I did perform the integral using MATLAB Symbolic Toolbox. The result agrees with the given answer. I'm just at a loss of how to do this by hand. It seems very challenging so I'm wondering if I'm missing a trick.

I'd try expanding cos(ζ - 2∏/3)(A - Bcos(2(ζ - θ))) to Acos(ζ - 2∏/3)-Bcos(ζ - 2∏/3)cos(2(ζ - θ)). The term with one cos should be no problem. For the second one use cos(X)cos(Y)=(1/2)(cos(X+Y)-cos(X-Y)).
 

FAQ: Integration of Mutual Inductance

What is mutual inductance and why is it important in integration?

Mutual inductance is a phenomenon that occurs when the magnetic fields of two or more coils interact with each other, resulting in the induction of a voltage in the adjacent coils. It is important in integration because it is a key factor in the design and functioning of electrical circuits and devices, such as transformers and motors.

How is mutual inductance calculated?

Mutual inductance is calculated using the formula M = k√(L1L2), where M is the mutual inductance, k is the coupling coefficient, and L1 and L2 are the individual inductances of the two coils.

What is the relationship between mutual inductance and self-inductance?

Mutual inductance is closely related to self-inductance, which is the ability of a coil to generate a voltage in itself when the current changes. Mutual inductance is essentially a measure of the interaction between two self-inductances.

How does mutual inductance affect the efficiency of a circuit?

Mutual inductance can have both positive and negative effects on the efficiency of a circuit. In some cases, it can improve the efficiency by reducing energy losses, but in others, it can cause unwanted interference and decrease efficiency.

Can mutual inductance be controlled or adjusted?

Yes, mutual inductance can be controlled by adjusting the physical distance and orientation between the coils, as well as the number of turns in the coils. This can be useful in optimizing the performance of a circuit or device.
