Analytical Investigation of Motionless Coil Storage (MCS) System.

Abstract

The main problem in the MCS development program is the operational limitation of pay-out speed to 1500 feet/minute associated with the formation of a 'reverse loop'. This analytical investigation identifies the mechanics of reverse loop initiation, and provides a physical explanation of the phenomena. Then by means of a dynamic analysis, quantitative relations are provided among the variables which control reverse loop formation and operating parameters of the system. Finally, on the basis of quantitive analytical results, a solution is suggested in the form of a design modification required for practical elimination of reverse loop formation and attainment of higher operational pay-out speeds.
