Abstract :
The problem of three-dimensional transient heat flow in the stators of induction motors is solved using a finite-element formulation employing arch-shaped elements. The shape functions and exact solutions are derived algebraically for the utmost economy in computation. The temperature distribution has been determined considering convection from the surface and the two ends. The temperature distribution has also been determined by specifying the temperature of the surface and the ends. A simple cylinder is used as an example. The temperature at different locations in the stator of the induction motor has been computed during transients
