A change from the standard delta operation to star operation involves re-configuring the wiring of the three phases of power input at the terminal box. Operating in the star mode leads to a voltage reduction by a factor of ‘ 3 ’. Motor output falls to one-third of the value in the delta mode, but performance characteristics as a function of load remain unchanged. Thus, full-load operation in star mode gives higher efficiency and power factor than partial load operation in the delta mode. However, motor operation in the star mode is possible only for applications where the torque-to-speed requirement is lower at reduced load. 4. What is the thumb rule for installing capacitors to motor terminal? The size of capacitor required for a particular motor depends upon the no-load reactive kVA (kVAR) drawn by the motor, which can be determined only from no-load testing of the motor. In general, the capacitor is then selected to not exceed 90 % of the no-load kVAR of the motor. (Higher capacities could result in over-voltages and motor burn-outs). Alternatively, typical power factors of standard motors can provide the basis for conservative estimates of capacitor ratings to use for different size motors. 5. Write some applications of constant torque and variable torque loads. Constant Torque Loads: Conveyors, rotary kilns, constant displacement
On a larger scale, the example of a Lego made motors efficiency can relate to that of a modern day car and the efficiency / energy waste that comes from it. The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fossil fuel mixes with air in a chamber of the operational fluid flow circuit.

III. Now that I have explained the equipment and some basic fundamentals, I am going to tell you about a
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of different masses hoisted by an electric motor from ground level to a height of 1.29 m. The main purpose was to look how a change in mass affected the efficiency of our motor, but it did affect other variables such as power, current, force, etc. For this experiment, our hypnosis is that as mass increases, the efficiency increases. Because in the equation for efficiency, efficiency=gain in potential differenceelectrical energy used, gain in potential difference = mgh, the mass of an object has a direct relationship with the efficiency of the motor. In this equation, we see that efficiency is affected by the mass that is lifted, gravity, the height the mass is being lifted, and the amount of energy that is put into the system. We can see that mass, gravity, and height has a direct relationship while inputted power has an inverse relationship with efficiency.
In this conversion, some energy is lost to friction. To get the calculated efficiency, work out and in is needed. The force stretched for the mousetrap car .5 Newtons. The levor arm is 3 meters long. First the angular speed is needed, the group got 17 revolutions in 1.87 seconds, for the work out. And converted this to radians per seconds. Then the group found the work in and converted to radians per seconds, as well. Then the torque out and in was needed. To get the torque, it is force times the levor. Power out and in is also needed, torque times work. After everything is calculated , divide power out by power in and mulitply by 100, to get a percentage. This is the efficiency for the mouse trap
preferred mileage over the greater V8. All motors are accessible with 4-wheel drive (4WD) rather than the
3. Perform ten resistance training exercises and describe which phase of the exercise is the eccentric, concentric and isometric phase of the movement. At which phase is the muscle the strongest? Why?
1. Consider eight two-cubic centimeter (2 cm3) sugar cubes stacked so that they form a single 2 x 2 x 2 cube. How does the surface area of the single, large cube compare to the total surface area of the individual eight cubes? Report your answer as a ratio. Be sure to show all calculations leading to an answer.
i. (If you look at the graph for Problems 16, 17, and 18, it’s at point A.)
How is the speed of an object related to the shape of the graph? (1)
20. Efficiency means producing _______ using the least amount of A. goods; resources. B. human resources; time. C. capital; natural items. D. entrepreneurship; people.
Overall fuel efficiency is up too. The first generation Volt achieved 37 mpg. The second generation model is EPA-rated at 42 mpg. Where the first generation model required premium fuel, the all-new Volt takes regular grade gasoline. That alone will enable customers to save at least 10 percent at the
These types of engines can be found not only in cars and trucks, but in boats, lawn mowers and generators to name a few.
As for the second design, low frequency excitations are present due to the worker’s motion including walking and contraction and expansion of his muscles. These low excitation motion can provide viable amounts of wasted mechanical energy that can be converted to power many critical devices including sensors for oxygen monitoring, pacemakers, defibrillators, cell phones, and wireless sensors and actuators. A significant impediment in the
