### Chapter 31, Problem 065

#### Problem Statement

An AC generator provides an EMF to a resistive load in a remote factory over a two-cable transmission line. At the factory, a step-down transformer reduces the voltage from its (RMS) transmission value \( V_t \) to a much lower value that is safe and convenient for use in the factory. The transmission line resistance is \(0.51 \, \Omega/\text{cable}\), and the power of the generator is \(279 \, \text{kW}\).

Given:
- \( V_t = 110 \, \text{kV} \)

1. What is (a) the voltage decrease \( \Delta V \) along the transmission line and (b) the rate \( P_d \) at which energy is dissipated in the line as thermal energy?
  
2. If \( V_t = 8.1 \, \text{kV} \), what are (c) \( \Delta V \) and (d) \( P_d \)?
  
3. If \( V_t = 0.86 \, \text{kV} \), what are (e) \( \Delta V \) and (f) \( P_d \)?

#### Solutions

(a) 
- \(\Delta V = 2.586 \, \text{kV}\)

(b) 
- \(P_d = 6.559 \, \text{kW}\)

(c) 
- \(\Delta V = 35.12 \, \text{kV}\)

(d) 
- \(P_d = 209.8 \, \text{kW}\)

(e) 
- \(\Delta V = 330.8 \, \text{kV}\) 

Note: The answer marked with a red “X” indicates this value is incorrect. 

(f) 
- \(P_d = 107.300 \, \text{kW}\)

#### Explanation

This problem explores the relationship between the voltage, power dissipation, and thermal energy in a transmission line. The voltage drop \( \Delta V \) along the line affects how much energy is lost as heat, which is represented by \( P_d \). By changing the transmission voltage \( V_t \), we observe how it impacts \( \Delta V \) and \( P_d \), demonstrating the importance of voltage regulation in power transmission systems for efficient energy distribution.
