Abstract
Constructal theorem indicates a pattern of optimum efficient flow. In a radial permanent magnet generator, the constructal pattern was studied. A 2D model of radial permanent magnet generator was assumed to have specific thickness of the laminated core for the stator. Heat released to the frame in order keeping temperature of the magnet below its critical temperature. Geometric parameters showing thickness and width of the stator were found as the constructal pattern that meet the targeted output.
