To determine

The three main sources of heat in a transformer.

Explanation of Solution

The transformer is an electrical device that is used to transfer energy in the form of electricity from one circuit to another circuit. The electric energy transformation takes place by the process of electromagnetic induction. The transformer is used to increase or decrease the voltage as per the requirements of the application.

There are three main sources of heat generation in the transformer are listed as below.

  1. 1) Electric winding of transformer.
  2. 2) Core material of transformer
  3. 3) Losses in transformer such as, flux leakage, eddy currents, and hysteresis.

I tried solving this one but have no idea where I went wrong can you please help me out with this?
Question 1. A tube rotates in the horizontal xy plane with a constant angular velocity w about the z-axis. A particle of mass m is released from a radial distance R when the tube is in the position shown. This problem is based on problem 3.2 in the text. y ω R m 2R Figure 1 X a) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the tube is frictionless. b) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the coefficient of friction between the sides of the tube and the particle is μs = flk = fl. c) For the case where the tube is frictionless, what is the radial speed at which the particle leaves the tube? d) For the case where there is friction, derive a differential equation that would allow you to solve for the radius of the particle as a function of time. I'm only looking for the differential equation. DO NOT solve it. e) If there is no friction, what is the angle of the tube when the particle exits? • Hint: You may need to solve a differential equation for the last part. The "potentially…
