Abstract

This article introduces a method to evaluate the magnetic interaction between permanent magnets and active materials, comprised of nickel pellets, within a Curie wheel. Additionally, an approach to estimate thermal losses is presented to control heat dissipation, thereby mitigating heat accumulation in the active material.
