The experimental determination of the convective thermal dissipation from a T.A.I.M. rotor surface (TM-BS-010)

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The tubular axle induction motor, or TAIM for short, is a novel form of a.c. railway traction motor, of inside-out construction, the stator being located within a tubular rotor linking the wheels. Because of space and weight limitations a high specific output is desirable from such...
