What is the purpose of sequence control?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Identify the purpose of sequence control.

Explanation of Solution

The purpose of sequence control is to maintain the predetermined order at which the motors are forced to start or stop. One motor cannot start unit its predecessor is in operation.

Machines that have high pressure pump operation like the hydraulic press or systems that requires a blower to be in operation before stating the compressor like the air-conditioning systems use the sequence control.

A very thin metallic sheet is placed between two wood plates of different thicknesses. Theplates are firmly pressed together and electricity is passed through the sheet. The exposed surfaces ofthe two plates lose heat to the ambient fluid by convection. Assume uniform heating at the interface.Neglect end effects and assume steady state.[a] Will the heat transfer through the two plates be the same? Explain.[b] Will the exposed surfaces be at the same temperature? Explain
Design consideration requires that the surface of a small electronic package be maintained at atemperature not to exceed 82 o C. Noise constraints rule out the use of fans. The power dissipated inthe package is 35 watts and the surface area is 520 cm2 . The ambient temperature and surroundingwalls are assumed to be at 24 o C. The heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 9.2 W/m2- oC andsurface emissivity is 0.7. Will the package dissipate the required power without violating designconstraints?
Consider radiation from a small surface at 100 oC which is enclosed by a much larger surface at24 o C. Determine the percent increase in the radiation heat transfer if the temperature of the smallsurface is doubled.
