THERMAL NETWORK PORTS IN TRANSDUCERS.

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of taking the thermal energy exchange into account when dealing with transducers. An electromechanical transducer has two ports: an electrical port through which electrical energy can be given to or taken away from the transducer, and a mechanical port for giving or taking away mechanical energy. Invariably, in these energy transfers, heat or thermal energy comes into play and often plays an important role. The question this report is attempting to answer is whether or not a third port may be introduced, a thermal port, through which thermal energy can be given to or taken away from the transducer.
