Variation with the diameter, 𝑑, of the dissipated energy, 𝑊_ℎ, within a CCSR, for several values of their length, 𝑙, (a) 0.1 m, (b) 0.2 m, (c) 0.3 m, and (d) 0.4 m, for four different peak values of applied field, 𝐻_𝑎=5, 10, 15, and 20 A/m. Horizontal lines: energy dissipated inside a TFR with width 𝑤=10 mm and thickness 𝑡=0.043 mm.
