Explanation of Solution

Given:

The name plate current of three-phase motor is 56 A.

Calculation:

A failure phase occurs when power is lost from a three-phase motor power supply line. The motor is still running, but it draws excessive current. This phenomenon is known as Single phasing. Single phasing causes a current increase of 173% in average of both phases which remain energized in a three-phase motor.

Calculate the current flowing in two remaining phases:

  Iavg=173%ofI=173100×I=1.73×56A=96.88A

Thus, the average amount of current flowing in two remaining phases is 96.88A_.

This is an old practice exam question.
Steam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle at 700 psia and 900°F and leaves as saturated vapor. Steam is then reheated to 800°F before it expands to a pressure of 1 psia. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 6 × 104 Btu/s. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 45°F. Use steam tables.   NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.   Determine the pressure at which reheating takes place. Use steam tables. Find: The reheat pressure is  psia.

Air at T1 = 24°C, p1 = 1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 3 kg/min and mixes with a saturated moist air stream entering at T2 = 7°C, p2 = 1 bar. A single mixed stream exits at T3 = 17°C, p3 = 1 bar. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects Determine mass flow rate of the moist air entering at state 2, in kg/min Determine the relative humidity of the exiting stream. Determine the rate of entropy production, in kJ/min.K
