The total ripple is due to the ESR and teh capacitor discharge.
delta-v = Ioutdelta-t/C + ESRdelta-i_cap
The delta_icap is the change in capacitor current when the diode is on vs. off.
The cap current goes from IL-Iout to -Iout, so the change is just IL.
The loss tangent is tand = wESRC
For an ideal converter, IL = Iout/(1-D). Solving for C,

We know that Li = NBA for a linear core with assumptions of uniformity, etc.
So, I max = NBsat*A/L

The area of the window is dictated by the current density and fill factor.

here we have assumed the current density is 300 A/cm^2 and conservative ff = 0.
If we assume a square window, then the length of one side of the window is:
l win

We will assume that an average turn is roughly circular and has an average radius of
sqrt(Ac)/2 + lwin/2 - since the center leg of the core will be square (by design) and the turns
will be roughly even throughout the window.
So a the total length of all turns is Npi(sqrt(Ac) + lwin).
The area of one strand of wire is then Awire = Awin*ff/N.
So the total resistance is Rdc = Npi(sqrt(Ac) + lwin) / (sigma * Awire)=
Rdc = N^2pi(sqrt(Ac) + lwin)/(sigmaAwinff)
where sigma is the conductivity of copper
For a ferrite core (according to text) we need to figure about 0.3 T for saturation.

The total volume of hte core is given by

We can sub NAcore / N for Acore in this equation.
the total loss is then Idc^2 * Rdc +VocreP0f^2*delta-B^b

We can also see the gap length is much smaller than the other dimensions, so most our
assumptions should be fine.
