Explanation of Solution

Consider the autotransformers are used in the starting of the squirrel cage induction motor. The autotransformer reduces the voltage that is applied to the motor to reduce the inrush current at the starting.

As the motor reaches 75% of the normal speed the motor is in the run stage.

As the rotor reach the run stage of the normal speed is applied the full voltage.

After the run stage autotransformer to supply the full load voltage is the waste of energy as the same voltage is applied by connecting the motor to the supply.

Therefore, it is desirable to disconnect the transformer as the motor reaches the run stage to save the energy and extend the life of transformer.

A crude oil of specific gravity0.85 flows upward at a volumetric rate of flow of 70litres per second through a vertical venturimeter,with an inlet diameter of 250 mm and a throat diameter of 150mm. The coefficient of discharge of venturimeter is 0.96. The vertical differences betwecen the pressure toppings is 350mm. i) Draw a well labeled diagram to represent the above in formation  i) If the two pressure gauges are connected at the tapings such that they are positioned at the levels of their corresponding tapping points, determine the difference of readings in N/CM² of the two pressure gauges   ii) If a mercury differential manometer is connected in place of pressure gauges, to the tappings such that the connecting tube up to mercury are filled with oil determine the difference in the level of mercury column.
