Textbook Question
Chapter 38, Problem 1SQ
If someone told you that the solid-state power recovery controller is a perpetual motion machine, what would be your reaction?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Explain whether the solid state power recovery controller is a perpetual motion machine or not.
Answer to Problem 1SQ
No, the solid state power recovery controller is not a perpetual motion machine.
Explanation of Solution
A machine which provides an output without an input energy source is known as perpetual motion machine. The energy is neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, there will be no losses in this system.
In the solid state power recovery controller machine, there should be some energy applied to keep the machine in motion. It includes losses such as copper loss, iron loss, friction, and windage loss. Due to these losses, the output is lesser than the input. Therefore, the solid state recovery controller is not a perpetual motion machine.
Conclusion:
Thus, the solid state power recovery controller is not a perpetual motion machine.

Internal combustion engines require a cooling system to function properly, which maintains the engine temperature at an appropriate value. Neither too high nor too low. There are several systems to control this temperature, the two best known are: • The classic one that uses a thermostat that regulates the flow of coolant (water), and where the fan is mechanically coupled to the engine. • In more recent vehicles, in addition to the thermostat, a temperature controller is used that turns an electric fan on and off.
