Modeling of Thermomagnetic Phenomena in Active Magnetocaloric Regenerators
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The active magnetic regenerator (AMR) consists of a porous matrix heat exchanger whose solid phase is a magnetocaloric material (solid refrigerant) that undergoes a reversible magnetic entropy change when subjected to a changing magnetic field. The cooling capacity of the cycle is proportional to the mass of solid refrigerant, operating frequency, volumetric displacement of the heat transfer fluid and regenerator effectiveness. AMRs can be modeled via a porous media approach and a model has been developed in this work to simulate the time-dependent fluid flow and heat transfer processes in the regenerator matrix. Gadolinium (Gd) is usually adopted as a reference material for magnetic cooling at near room temperature and its magnetic temperature change and physical properties were accounted for through a combination of experimental data and the Weiss-Debye-Sommerfeld (WDS) theory. In this paper, the interaction of the applied magnetic field waveform with the heat transfer fluid displacement profile and the influence of demagnetizing effects on the AMR performance are investigated numerically. The numerical model is evaluated against experimental data for a regenerator containing spherical Gd particles.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
