Given Information:

three-phase Y-connected load = P = 200 kW

PF = 0.707 lagging

line-to-line load voltage = VL-L = 440 V

Required Information:

(a) Draw the per-phase equivalent circuit ?

(b) Calculate the a-phase load current = ?

(c) Calculate the capacitive reactive power = ?

(d) Power triangles - before and after the power factor correction = ?

Answer:

a) See attached drawing

b) I = 123.72<-45°

c) Qc = 16.66 kVAR

d) See attached drawing

Explanation:

b) Calculate the a-phase load current

VL-N = VL-L/ $\sqrt{3}$ = 440/ $\sqrt{3}$ = 254 V

Three phase load current can be found by

P = 3*VL-N*I*cos(θ)

θ = cos⁻¹(PF) = cos⁻¹(0.707) = 45°

I = P/3*VL-N*cos(45°)

I = 200,000/3*254*cos(45°)

I = 371.18 A

single phase current is

I = 371.18/3 = 123.72 A

In polar form,

I = 123.72<-45° A ( minus sign due to lagging PF)

Since the load is balanced, the current in other phases is same with 120° phase shift

(c) Calculate the capacitive reactive power

Three phase reactive compensation power is

Qc = P (tan(θold) - tan(θnew))

θnew = cos⁻¹(PF) = cos⁻¹(0.8) = 36.86°

Qc = 200 (tan(45°) - tan(36.86°))

Qc = 200 (0.250)

Qc = 50 kVAR

Per phase reactive compensation power is

Qc = 50/3 = 16.66 kVAR

(d) Power triangles - before and after the power factor correction

Before

P = 200 kW

Q = 3*VL-N*I*sin(45° ) = 3*254*123.72*sin(45° ) = 66.66 kVAR

S = P + jQ = 200 + j66.66 kVA = 210.81 kVA

After

I = P/3*VL-N*cos(36.86°) = 200,000/3*254*cos(36.86°) = 328 < -36.86 A

single phase current

I = 328/3 = 109.33 < -36.86 A

Q = 3*VL-N*I*sin(36.86° ) = 3*254*109.33*sin(36.86° ) = 50 kVAR

S = P + jQ = 200 + j50 kVA = 206 kVA

As you can see the current and reactive power are reduced after power factor correction.

The power triangle before and after power factor correction is attached.

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

For methyl chloride at 100°C the second and third virial coefficients are: B = −242.5 cm 3 ·mol −1 C = 25,200 cm 6 ·mol −2 Calcu

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

a)W=12.62 kJ/mol

b)W=12.59 kJ/mol

Explanation:

At T = 100 °C the second and third virial coefficients are

B = -242.5 cm^3 mol^-1

C = 25200 cm^6 mo1^-2

Now according isothermal work of one mole methyl gas is

W=- $\int\limits^a_b {P} \, dV$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

from virial equation

$\frac{PV}{RT}=z=1+\frac{B}{V}+\frac{C}{V^2}\\ \\P=RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2})\frac{1}{V}\\$

And

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V} } \, dV$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

Now calculate V1 and V2 at given condition

$\frac{P1V1}{RT} = 1+\frac{B}{v_1} +\frac{C}{v_1^2}$

Substitute given values $P_1\\$ = 1 x 10^5 , T = 373.15 and given values of coefficients we get

$10^5(v_1)/8.314*373.15=1-242.5/v_1+25200/v_1^2$

Solve for V1 by iterative or alternative cubic equation solver we get

$v_1=30780 cm^3/mol$

Similarly solve for state 2 at P2 = 50 bar we get

$v_1=241.33 cm^3/mol$

Now

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V} } \, dV$

a=241.33

b=30780

After performing integration we get work done on the system is

W=12.62 kJ/mol

(b) for Z = 1 + B' P +C' P^2 = PV/RT by performing differential we get

dV=RT(-1/p^2+0+C')dP

Hence work done on the system is

$W=-\int\limits^a_b {P(RT(-1/p^2+0+C')} \, dP$

a= $v_2\\$

b= $v_1$

by substituting given limit and P = 1 bar , P2 = 50 bar and T = 373 K we get work

W=12.59 kJ/mol

The work by differ between a and b because the conversion of constant of virial coefficients are valid only for infinite series

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "400.4 N". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of truck,

m = 600 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

On equating torques at the point O,

⇒ $T\times Cos(10+5)\times (1.3+4)=mg\times Sin(5)\times 4$

So that,

On putting the values, we get

⇒ $T\times Cos(15^{\circ})\times 5.3=600\times 9.8\times Sin(5^{\circ})\times 4$

⇒ $T=400.4 \ N$

What is the impedance of a 5μF capacitor at a frequency of 500Hz? What is the impedance of a60mH inductor at this frequency?

choli [55]

Answer:

1) 63.66 ohm

2) 188.49 ohm

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Part 1

Capacitance, C = 5μF = 5 × 10⁻⁶ F

Frequency = 500 Hz

Now,

Impedance = $\frac{1}{2\times\pi\times f\times C}$

or

Impedance = $\frac{1}{2\times\pi\times500\times5\times10^{-6}}$

or

Impedance = 63.66 ohm

Part 2

Inductance = 60 mH = 60 × 10⁻³ H

Frequency = 500 Hz

Now,

Impedance for an inductor = 2πfL

thus,

Impedance = 2 × π × 500 × 60 × 10⁻³

= 188.49 ohm
