Chapter 16, Problem 1RQ
What conditions must be met before two alternators can be paralleled together?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The conditions that must be met before two alternators can be paralleled together.
Explanation of Solution
The below figure represents two alternators connected in parallel arrangement.
The conditions that must be met before two alternators can be paralleled together are listed as follows.
- 1. The connection should be made to ensure that the phase rotation of all the machines is same.
- 2. The phases of the machine should be connected in sequence. The phase A of one machine is connected to the phase of A of another machine. Similarly, connect the phases B and C.
- 3. The alternator should have same output voltage.

The regenerator has an effectiveness of 75%, and the air enters the turbine at 1400 K. Assume variable specific heats for air. For a turbine efficiency of 90 percent, determine the amount of heat transfer in the regenerator. The amount of heat transfer in the regenerator is kJ/kg.arrow_forward
- Air enters the compressor of a regenerative gas turbine engine at 310 K and 100 kPa, where it is compressed to 900 kPa and 650 K. The regenerator has an effectiveness of 79 percent, and the air enters the turbine at 1400 K. Assume constant specific heats for air at room temperature. The properties of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.4. For a turbine efficiency of 90 percent, determine the amount of heat transfer in the regenerator. The amount of heat transfer in the regenerator is kJ/kg.arrow_forwardHints: Find the closed loop transfer function and then plot the step response for diFerentvalues of K in MATLAB.
