Question
Chapter 35, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The electronic component generally used to change AC to DC voltage in large DC motor controllers.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The alternating current (AC) voltage is converted to direct current (DC) voltage in DC motors using two separate power supplies. By using two separate power supplies instead of resistors connected in series to the armature, it is smoother to control the speed of the DC motor.
One of the supplies is constant and connected to the shunt field and the other is a variable power supply connected to the armature.

Calculate the cutting time for a 4 in length of cut, given that the feed rate is 0.030 ipr at a speed of 90 fpm.
for the values: M1=0.41m, M2=1.8m, M3=0.56m, please account for these in the equations. also please ensure that the final answer is the flow rate in litres per second for each part. please use bernoullis equation where needed if an empirical solutions i srequired. also The solutions should include, but not be limited to, the equations used tosolve the problems, the charts used to solve the problems, detailed working,choice of variables, the control volume considered, justification anddiscussion of results etc.If determining the friction factor, the use of both Moody chart and empiricalequations should be used to verify the validity of the value
