Thus, by using materials with a TC close to room temperature, the energy available in the form of low-grade heat sources can be converted into useful mechanical work. This thesis proposes the development of a thermomagnetic motor to be operated with heat sources at temperatures in the range from 343 to 353 K, and a heat sink at room temperature, using water as the heat transfer fluid, presenting a novel approach to the construction of thermomagnetic devices. The design of this thermomagnetic motor was developed with the intent of producing a rotary movement, working similarly to an electric stepper motor, where instead of the electromagnetic coils being activated by an electric current, plates of a magnetic material change their magnetization state, due to a change in their temperature caused by the heat transfer with the heat transfer fluid. The analysis of the thermomagnetic motor proposed was done with the adoption of an integrated approach of numerical simulation and experimental validation. The evaluation of the motor is divided into the three main physical phenomena it encompasses: the magnetic field source, the heat transfer processes involved in the change of temperature of the magnetic material, and the system dynamics and power production. Each of these systems was modeled using computational tools. These models were then validated according to the data measured, obtained from a test stand of an idealized thermomagnetic motor, and for a rotary thermomagnetic motor. This methodology allowed a more comprehensive understanding of the critical working principles of the motor developed, and with that a fast advancement of the technology through a validated computational model. The computational models helped to identify the critical components to be improved in the development of these motors. These parameters can be guidelines for the design of thermomagnetic motors. One of the ways identified to produce a significant performance improvement, in the simulations, was the adoption of a control strategy that promotes the regeneration of heat in the plates of magnetic material, through which an improvement in the efficiency of 2.7 times could be achieved. Keywords: Magnetic Materials, Systems Simulations, Heat Engine, Thermal Energy iii RESUMO Motores termomagnéticos representam uma alternativa para a conversão de calor em energia mecânica, limitada apenas pela temperatura crítica da transição termomagnética (TC) dos materiais magnéticos. Ao usar materiais com TC próximo à temperatura ambiente, pode-se realizar a conversão da energia contida nas chamadas fontes pobres de calor, produzindo trabalho mecânico útil. Esta tese propõe o desenvolvimento de um motor termomagnético para operação com fontes de calor com temperaturas entre 343 e 353 K, e resfriamento à temperatura ambiente, utilizando a água como fluído de troca térmica, apresentando uma abordagem inovadora para dispositivos termomagnéticos. O motor foi projetado para produção de movimento rotativo de um eixo, per meio de um princípio similar ao de um motor de passo, no qual em vez de bobinas ativadas pela passagem de corrente elétrica, placas de material magnético sofrem uma mudança em seu estado de magnetização, devido à mudança de temperatura, causada pela troca de calor com a água. A análise do motor termomagnético proposto foi realizada com a adoção de uma abordagem integrada de simulações numéricas e validação experimental, dividindo a avaliação dos motores nos três principais fenômenos físicos envolvidos em seu funcionamento: a fonte de campo magnético, o processo de troca térmica envolvido na mudança de temperatura do material magnético, a dinâmica do sistema e produção de potência. Cada um destes sistemas foi modelado usando ferramentas computacionais. Os resultados obtidos foram então validados utilizando dados experimentais, obtidos a partir da construção e caracterização de uma bancada de testes para um motor termomagnético idealizado, e também para o motor termomagnético rotativo construído. Esta metodologia propiciou maior entendimento das funções críticas do motor desenvolvido, e possibilitou ainda sua otimização, através do estudo dos modelos computacionais validados. Os parâmetros obtidos ajudaram a identificar componentes críticos para melhoria no projeto do motor rotativo construído, e servem também como guias gerais para projetos de motores termomagnéticos. Um dos componentes com elevado potencial de melhoria foi a adoção de uma estratégia de controle para a regeneração do calor nas placas de material magnético, o que possibilitou, nas simulações, uma melhoria até 2,7 vezes na eficiência.

  • Media Technology and Society
    MEDIA TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Media Technology and Society offers a comprehensive account of the history of communications technologies, from the telegraph to the Internet. Winston argues that the development of new media, from the telephone to computers, satellite, camcorders and CD-ROM, is the product of a constant play-off between social necessity and suppression: the unwritten ‘law’ by which new technologies are introduced into society. Winston’s fascinating account challenges the concept of a ‘revolution’ in communications technology by highlighting the long histories of such developments. The fax was introduced in 1847. The idea of television was patented in 1884. Digitalisation was demonstrated in 1938. Even the concept of the ‘web’ dates back to 1945. Winston examines why some prototypes are abandoned, and why many ‘inventions’ are created simultaneously by innovators unaware of each other’s existence, and shows how new industries develop around these inventions, providing media products for a mass audience. Challenging the popular myth of a present-day ‘Information Revolution’, Media Technology and Society is essential reading for anyone interested in the social impact of technological change. Brian Winston is Head of the School of Communication, Design and Media at the University of Westminster. He has been Dean of the College of Communications at the Pennsylvania State University, Chair of Cinema Studies at New York University and Founding Research Director of the Glasgow University Media Group. His books include Claiming the Real (1995). As a television professional, he has worked on World in Action and has an Emmy for documentary script-writing.

  • Branding of Business
    Updated 8th July 2004 Geoff Stuart The Branding of Business Tracing the extraordinary history of the World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs, Companies, Corporations and Brands. INTRODUCTION Michael, my son started pointing out the window as we were driving and saying “ ee ai, ee ai”, and repeating the sounds. He was less than a year old. At first I couldn’t work it out. “ Ee ai”, what was that? There he was sitting in the back seat of the car in his baby seat, saying “ ee ai”, not “Dad”, “Daddy”, “Da, Da ”, or even “Mummy”! It wasn’t just a gurgle, it was a definite word and he was pointing! And then I got it! There was a McDonalds sign, and he was pointing right at it! He had connected the Nursery Rhyme “Old McDonald had a Farm, ee ai, ee ai, oh “ to McDonalds Restaurants! His very first word was McDonalds, all be it said in Baby talk! Luckily his vocabulary has expanded a lot since then, but his very first word was a brand! As a father I felt cheated that he was saying “McDonalds” before I got a mention, but as a Marketing person, I took it as a sign that brands could have enormous cut through, not just as words but as images as well. So, what was it that made him connect to “McDonalds”? Was it the ads on TV, the Golden Arches, Ronald McDonald or McDonalds colours or combinations of all of these or simply the connection with the word McDonalds from the Nursery Rhyme? Whatever it was, the brand image was very powerful.
