Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, Ahead of Print.
Inner-rotor brushless DC (BLDC) motors used in electric mobility, UAV propulsion, and robotics face elevated thermal stress because compact packaging restricts convective area and limits the practicality of active cooling. This work experimentally ...
