1 Essay Overview
This essay is aimed at answering “How does the temperature of a steel cylindrical
billet, subject to electromagnetic induction heating change with time?”. The objective is
to generate a model that follows the temperature of a solid steel cylindrical billet heating
through induction heating. Figure 1 displays the models that will be explored in this
essay.
Understanding the relationship between temperature and time is done in two steps.
First, a model that determines the power induced into the workpiece will be explored.
Secondly, radiation and convective power losses will be modeled. The power loss model
will be combined with the induced power model to create a combined model, which
3
estimates the temperature of the workpiece over time. Empirical data is used to verify
all models.
To reduce external factor influence, the research scope has been limited. A single
material is used, with a limit on induction heater power. Furthermore, a single-coil
and workpiece geometry is used. Limiting the scope allows the research question to be
investigated, specifically looking at time and temperature.
2 Background Information
Induction heating relies on two energy dissipation mechanisms. The first being in-
duced eddy currents, which occurs in all metals. The second is hysteresis loss, only
occurring in ferromagnetic materials below the Curie temperature. The Curie tempera-
ture is a transition temperature in which certain materials lose their permanent magnetic
properties [2, p. 9].
Hysteresis loss is the heat generated due to magnetising a magnetic material in one
direction and then reversing the polarity of magnetisation. When an external magnetic
force magnetises a ferromagnetic material, the atomic domains align with the field, mag-
netising the material [2, p. 9]. To reverse the direction of magnetization, an external
field is required to do work in the opposite direction. The energy required to reverse the
direction of magnetisation is dissipated as heat [2, p. 9]. Hysteresis loss is proportional
to the magnetic field frequency [2, p. 9].
Eddy current loss occurs in all metals [2, p. 9]. Eddy currents are induced following
Faraday’s Law of Induction. Induction heating setups contain a coil, with the workpiece
placed where the magnetic flux density is greatest. An alternating current (AC) through
the coil generates a time-varying magnetic field which induces an electromotive force
(emf) in the workpiece; inducing eddy currents that dissipate heat due to resistive losses.
4
According to Lenz Law, the induced eddy currents will oppose the change that created
them, opposing the magnetic field, and therefore the eddy current direction is known. In
the setup used, eddy currents flow around the circumference of the workpiece (Figure 2).
Unlike hysteresis loss, eddy current loss is proportional to the square of the frequency.
This can be derived from Faraday’s Law:
dΦ
ε = −N
dt
Where ε is the induced emf, which can be substituted into the power equation:
ε2
P =
R
When direct current flows through a conductor, the current is generally uniformly
distributed throughout the cross-sectional area of the conductor. However, alternating
current tends to be distributed such that the current density is greatest near the conduc-
5
tor’s surface. This is called the skin effect and plays a critical role in induction heating.
In the case of a circular conductor, the current density decreases exponentially from the
surface of the conductor [2, p. 15]. The skin depth is defined as the depth where the
1
current density is e
of the value at the surface, where e is Eulers number [2, p. 15]. This
is visualised in Figure 3.

3.2 Procedure
The independent variable, time (t), is collected using a video camera. A timer mounted
to the induction heater is used to sync trials. The dependent variable, workpiece tem-
perature, is recorded using a thermocouple every two seconds. In addition, input voltage
(Vin ), and input current (Iin ) is recorded to calculate input power.
Before each trial, ambient temperature (T∞ ), and idle current (Iidle ) are recorded.
Idle current is the input current to the induction heater when no workpiece is inserted.
The input voltage, (Vin ), remains a constant 16.4V throughout all trials.
A current-limited voltage-regulated power supply is critical to ensure consistency in
the experiment. The current limit is set to 9.0 ± 0.1A to ensure the maximum input
power can be regulated.
For consistency, the procedure for each trial is repeatable and straightforward:
Step 6 is critical to reliable data; this ensures that the amount of the workpiece inside
the coil is constant throughout all trials. This is displayed below, in figure 5.

Figure 5: Procedure Visual [1]
The data is recorded into a spreadsheet to compare each trial. A sample of trial 1 is
shown in Table 1. Full raw data is in appendix B.

The induction heater operates at 62 kHz. Therefore, hysteresis losses will be con-
sidered negligible as eddy currents are proportional to frequency squared, meaning eddy
current losses will be much greater than hysteresis loss.
10
Furthermore, the workpiece is assumed to be a hollow sleeve. This is because the
high frequency of 62 kHz makes the skin depth, δ, small. In addition, as the workpiece
is cylindrical, the skin effect is uniform, concentrating the current density to the surface
layers.
The sleeve is visualised in Figure 6, with variables that are introduced in further
calculations.
Faraday’s law can be applied to evaluate the induced emf in the sleeve. This is given
by:
dΦB
Esleeve = −N (2)
dt
dΦB
Where N is the number of turns in the coil, and dt
is the rate of change of magnetic
flux through the workpiece. To evaluate Esleeve , an expression for ΦB must be determined.
11
Using the magnetic flux formula:
Where Ax is the cross-sectional area of the workpiece, and B is the magnetic field
strength inside of the solenoid. To find B, the following formula is used, derived from
ampere’s law [3]: (A derivation can be found in Appendix C).
B = µ0 nIcoil (4)
Where B is the magnetic field strength inside the coil, n is the turns per unit length,
and Icoil is the current in the coil.
Substituting equation (4) into equation (3) finds an expression for ΦB in terms of coil
current.
ΦB = Ax µ0 cos(θ)nIcoil (5)
Equation (5) assumes there is no workpiece inside the coil. Therefore it is an upper
limit for magnetic flux within the solenoid.
dΦB
To apply Faraday’s law of induction to calculate Esleeve , dt
must be calculated. The
current flowing in the induction coil is alternating; therefore Esleeve will be an alternat-
ing voltage at the same frequency. The current in the coil, Icoil can be expressed as a
trigonometric function:
Where I0 is the peak coil current, ω is the angular frequency, and φ is the phase
shift. An expression for ΦB in terms of the alternating current can be found through
substituting (6) into (5):
12
ΦB = Ax µ0 n cos(θ)I0 sin(ωt + φ)
The derivative of ΦB with respect to time is taken in order to apply Faraday’s law:
dΦB
= Ax µ0 n cos(θ)I0 ω cos(ωt + φ)
dt
dΦB
Using dt
, Faraday’s law finds an expression for Esleeve in terms of time:
dΦB
Esleeve = −N
dt
Esleeve = −N Ax µ0 n cos(θ)I0 ω cos(ωt + φ) (7)
The expression found for Esleeve in (7) is in terms of time, as it is derived from a
time-varying magnetic field. To simplify further calculations, Root Mean Square (RMS)-
induced emf is used to remove time dependence:
V0
VRM S = √

−N Ax µ0 n cos(θ)I0 ω
ERM S = √ (8)

Next, the equivalent resistance of the sleeve is evaluated. The resistivity formula can
be applied. Rearranging to:
ρr l
Rsleeve = (9)
Ac
Eddy currents flow around the circumference of the workpiece, as explained in section
13
2.1. Therefore, l is the circumference of the sleeve, Ac is δLs , and ρr is the resistivity.
Where ρr is resistivity in Ωm, and T is the temperature in . From (10), the resistivity
of the workpiece increases by roughly 3 times over the experimental temperature range
of 30 to 450 , impacting induced power.
Intuitively, since resistance and power are inversely proportional, a 3 fold increase in
resistivity would cause a 3 fold decrease in induced power. However, this is not the case
as when resistivity increases, the skin depth increases, increasing the cross-sectional area
eddy currents flow through. As shown in figure 6, the cross-sectional area eddy currents
flow through can be given by:
Ac = Ls δ
Where Ls is the length of the sleeve, and δ is the skin depth. An expression for Ac
in terms of temperature can be found through substituting the skin depth formula and
equation (10):

*First experimental point not considered in line calculations due to large uncertainties,
and not following the trend.
The relationship between the workpiece temperature and power is not linear in both
the model and experimental values. However, in the given temperature range, a linear
approximation is suitable for analysis. This is supported by a correlation coefficient of
-0.9766 for the experimental best fit (black), and -0.9941 for the model best fit (blue).
As expected, the downward trend in both the model and the experiment data is
present, with both presenting a slight curvature. The experimental data best fit line

W W
slope is -0.0375 Whereas for the model, the slope is -0.0416 Both slopes are
similar, with a difference of 10%. Furthermore, observing the maximum and minimum
slope lines, the model slope falls within the range of uncertainty for the experimental
21
slope. This supports the model’s prediction of induced power decreasing as resistivity
increases. Since the models follow a similar shape, the resistivity relationship found by
Yafei et. al. accurately represents the workpiece material utilized.
However, a large discrepancy exists between the y-intercept of both best fit lines. This
suggests that there are systematic errors or an inaccurate parameter value in the model.
The “corrected power” values used in the graph is Pin − Pidle . Ideally, this represents
all induced power. However, inefficiencies in the system exist in the form of flux leakage
and switching losses. Inefficiencies not taken into account may explain the difference in
y-intercepts.
This unaccounted inefficiency prediction can be verified by analysing the initial aver-
age heating rate in the temperature-time results:

Where P is the power dissipated, e is the body’s emissivity, As is the surface area of
the body, and Tb is the absolute temperature. However, radiation energy emitted by the

P = eσAs (Tb4 − T∞

6.2 Convection Losses
Throughout the experiment, no airflow was forced through the coil or along the work-
piece. However, convective heat transfer still occurs naturally due to differences in the
density of the air surrounding the workpiece [6, p. 610].
The horizontal cylindrical workpiece heats the close surrounding air. The less-dense
hot air rises, allowing cooler room temperature air to come into contact with the work-
piece. This process repeats continuously, transferring heat from the workpiece through
natural convection. To simplify calculations, the ends of the workpiece will be considered
adiabatic.
Newton’s law of cooling quantifies convective losses stating that the rate of heat
loss from a body is directly proportional to the temperature difference of the body and
surroundings [6, p. 565]. This is expressed as:
Where Q̇ is the rate of heat transfer out of the body, h is the heat transfer coefficient,
Ar is the surface area of convection, Tb is the body temperature, and T∞ is bulk fluid
temperature, which stays constant.
The heat transfer coefficient, h, depends on the temperature of both the body and
24
the surrounding fluid, as the temperature determines the fluid flow rate. To quantify the
variables that influence h and estimate the coefficient, three non-dimensional numbers
are used. These are the Prandtl number (Pr), Grashof number (Gr), and Nusselt Number
(Nu) [7, p. 232].
The Prandtl number is a fluid property that approximates the ratio of kinematic vis-
cosity to thermal diffusivity. This property changes with temperature, as fluid properties
change with temperature. For air from a temperature of 26.85 to 426.85, the Prandtl
number ranges from 0.7050 to 0.6960 respectively [8]. Within the temperature range
utilised, the Prandtl number changes marginally and therefore is assumed a constant
0.7008, which is the average over the temperature range utilized [8].
The Grashof number represents the ratio between the buoyancy force of the fluid and
the restraining forces due to fluid viscosity. For a pipe, the Grashof number is given as
[7, p. 224]:
Where ρa is the fluid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, β is the coefficient
of thermal expansion, v is the kinematic viscosity, and D is the cylinder diameter. For
simplicity, all fluid properties are assumed constant over the temperature range utilized,
except fluid density.
For Natural convection, all fluid properties are evaluated at a “film temperature (Tf )”,
which estimates the fluid temperature around the workpiece [9]. This is given by [9]:
Tb + T∞
Tf =
2
25
Where Tb is the body temperature in kelvin, and T∞ is the bulk fluid temperature. The
perfect gas law is used to estimate the density of the fluid, at the reference temperature:
ρref Tref
ρa =
Tf
Where ρa is the estimated density, and ρref is the density at reference temperature
Tref . Substituting Tf into the expression for ρa provides an expression for the density as
a function of the body temperature:
2ρref Tref
ρa (Tb ) =
Tb + T∞
The function for the density of the fluid, ρa (Tb ), can be substituted into (15) to express
the Grashof number as a function of the body temperature:
2
2ρref Tref
g Tb +T∞
β(Tb − T ∞)D3
Gr(Tb ) =
v2
The Nusselt Number is the ratio of conductive to convective heat transfer and char-
acterizes fluid flow due to convection. The Nusselt number is expressed in terms of the
heat transfer coefficient h [9]:
Dh
Nu = (16)
k
Where D is the cylinder diameter, and k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid.
In addition, the Nusselt number is expressed as a function of the Grashof and Prandtl
numbers so that h can be evaluated. For natural convection of a cylinder, this function
is* [9]:

*This Nusselt Number expression is only valid for 10−5 < (P r × Gr(Tb )) < 1012 [9].
The two expressions for the Nusselt Number can be set equal to eachother, and re-
arranged to find h, as a function of Tb :

The total power loss is the sum of both radiation and convective losses:
Note that h(Tb ) is not substituted to keep the above expression readable.
Using the parameters in Table 7, the induced power and power loss models can be
plotted. For consistency, the x-axis is in , but kelvin was utilized for models where

Workpiece Temperature ( )
Intuitively, total power losses increase with temperature, and this is reflected in the
model. Furthermore, the initial state of the power loss model is correct, as, at 30 ,
both radiation and convective losses are 0. This needs to be the case as 30 ± 2 was the
average room temperature when conducting the experiments. Interestingly, convection
losses increase linearly in the temperature range utilized, with a linear correlation of
0.9998.
As induced power decreases and power losses increase with temperature, it can be ex-
pected that the temperature-time relationship of the model will follow a steep incline at
first, then asymptote at the maximum attainable temperature. The maximum tempera-
ture is where Pin = Pout , at (439.2, 23.3), indicating a theoretical maximum temperature
of 439.2 . This can be compared to the experimental values observed.

body due to energy transfer is given by:
dQ = mcm dT (18)
Where dQ is energy change, m is the workpiece mass, cm is the specific heat capacity
of the workpiece, and dT is the temperature difference.
Since both Peddy and Ploss are functions of temperature, equation (18) can be rear-
ranged to generate a model for temperature as a function of time. A numerical approxi-
mate solution will be determined using Peddy and Ploss :
Let the power “used” by the workpiece be Pused (Tb ) = Peddy (Tb − 273.15) − Ploss (Tb ):
dQ
Pused (Tb ) =
dt
Pused (Tb ) dt = dQ
Equation (19) is used to generate a numerical solution using a spreadsheet for the
temperature in terms of time. The approximation utilises a 1 dt interval for accuracy.
Note that Tb is converted to for P eddy , as the function was derived for .
A condensed version of the spreadsheet is below, showing the first 30 seconds. The
full spreadsheet is in Appendix E.

The spreadsheet includes (P r × Gr(Tb )) calculations to ensure the convection cal-
culations are valid. All convection calculations are valid in this temperature range, as
(P r × Gr(Tb )) remains within 10−5 < (P r × Gr(Tb )) < 1012 .

The plotted relationship matches the expected relationship based on the power vs
temperature plot outlined in section 7, exhibiting an initial steep increase in temperature,
followed by asymptotic behaviour. At a time of 342 ± 0.1 seconds, the estimated model
temperature is 437.64 , approaching the theoretical limit of 439.2 .

Something to note is that the theoretical maximum temperature of the model is 439.2
, whereas one trial in the experiment reached 475 ± 1 at 342 ± 0.1 seconds. This
temperature is significantly above the “theoretical maximum”, suggesting possible errors
in the experiment, or parameter values. As the experiment is time-based, small errors
propagate as time progresses. Therefore, variations in the power supply output may
have propagated, causing some trials to go above the theoretical maximum. These error
propagations are observed as the uncertainty area increases from an average of ±13 in
the first 50 seconds to ±29 in the last 50 seconds, which is a 3 fold increase.
Deriving the relationships between the workpiece and induction heater has led to
multiple interesting conclusions.
First, Induced power decreases as the workpiece temperature increases. This is due
to the increase in resistivity of the material, impeding the flow of eddy currents.
Second, convective and radiation losses increase with temperature. At first, the magni-
tude of convective losses is greater than radiation losses. However, radiation loss becomes
the main power loss method as it is proportional to the fourth power of the body temper-
ature. Interestingly, convective losses are linear within the temperature range analysed.
Finally, a numerical analysis was generated to model temperature vs time. The final
model was contained in the error bars, and exhibited the same characteristics as the
experiment, supporting the data and answering the research question: Within the scope
of this essay, the relationship between time and temperature is inversely exponential.
As the method was repeatable, 9 trials were completed, with a sample every 2 seconds.
Each trial was repeatable and consistent. A large number of trials and data samples is
what allowed for empirical verifications of the models, supporting the induced, power
loss, and combined models.
However, limitations must be addressed.
35
First, as induction heating is complex, many factors can change the outcome of the ex-
periment. As this experiment is time-based, small errors at the beginning will propagate.
This was observed as the uncertainty bars for temperature grew to ±30 . These small
errors could have been in the power supply, temperature of the room, or switching losses,
which are all uncontrollable. Another limitation is that the power loss model curves could
not be directly verified. Instead, indirect approaches such as the maximum temperature,
and initial power losses were analysed. The curves cannot be verified directly, so the
curve shapes cannot be fully understood, mainly the linear convection curve.
In addition, hysteresis losses were considered negligible as the frequency utilized was
62 kHz. However, when heating up thick pieces of metal, a large skin depth is desired.
This means a lower frequency, meaning hysteresis losses would account for a significant
portion of induced power. Furthermore, due to the solenoid magnetic field formula used,
the Induced Power model depends on a solenoid coil geometry. This model would not be
applicable to induction heating setups that use other coil geometries, or operate on lower
frequencies.
Additionally, only one material was used, and from deriving the induced power model,
it is clear that material properties significantly impacted induced power. Materials with
different resistivity curves will have different induced power curves, and therefore the
temperature vs time relationship will change.
The temperature range utilized is also quite limited, not reaching the Curie temper-
ature. Extending the temperature range to include the curie temperature would make
the models more applicable to the real world, especially for industrial applications. This
would not only extend upon the relationship between temperature and time, but it may
also provide insight into material selection. An analysis of induction heating at the curie
temperature would be an interesting extension, but is beyond the scope of this essay.

relating the current in the solenoid to magnetic field strength, B . First, an amperian
loop to analyse must be selected. In this case, the amperian loop selected is the rectangle
abcd, pictured in Figure 10.
