Name three types of automatic controls.

Automatic control and its three types.
Explanation of Solution
Automatic control system controls the system parts and its parameters such as starting and stopping the motor, close and open the valve, pressure, temperature, etc. Control system works electrically or mechanically. This automatic control system helps the system to work accurately and efficiently. Types of controls are given as follows:
Electric control
Control system works on the electric power. Electric control is power consuming or non-power consuming. Either the electric circuit or the magnetic coil are used in power consuming electric control system known as load. Non-power consuming control passes the power to the power consuming device known as switch. This combination of load and switch is used to control the system loads connected either in series or parallel.
Mechanical control
Mechanical control system works on the mechanical principal. All the device such as input, output and feedback are controlled mechanically. In NC machine all the device is controlled mechanically such as tool path, tool positioning, speed of jaw, tool positioning etc. Another example is of gear box in automobile that used to control the speed of the automobile.
Electro-mechanical control
This is the combination of both electrical and mechanical. It has advantages of both electric and mechanical systems. A device which work mechanically with electric operation is called electromechanical device such as electric motor. In motor, the input power is electric and mechanical rotating motion given by magnetic coils.

- To save fuel during the heating season it is suggested that glass windows be covered at night with a 1.2 cm layer of polystyrene. Estimate the percent savings in energy and discuss the feasibility of this idea. Show the thermal circuit with and without the insulation panel.

- For problem 13, your answer should be the same as problem 12. Calculate the flow velocity and the heat transfer/area of the outer surfaces for both duct geometries to see the performance difference of the two designs.arrow_forwardOne end of a thin uniform rod of mass m and length 31 rests against a smooth vertical wall. The other end of the rod is attached by a string of length 1 to a fixed point O which is located a distance 21 from the wall. A horizontal force of magnitude F₁ is applied to the lower end of the rod as shown. Assuming the rod and the string remain in the same vertical plane perpendicular to the wall, find the angle 0 between the rod and the wall at the position of static equilibrium. Notes: This quiz is going to walk you through a sequence of steps to do this. It won't give you the answers, but it will hopefully get you to see how to approach problems like this so that you have a working reference/template in the future. This is actually a modified version of a problem from the textbook (6.3). Note that in that problem, is not actually given. It has been introduced for convenience as we move through solving the problem, and should not show up in the final answer. DO NOT DO PROBLEM 6.3. It is…arrow_forwardvarrow_forward
