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.

- An evening meal is being prepared in a home kitchen containing an electric oven and a microwave oven. The cost for electricity in the home's neighborhood is $0.15 per kilowatt hour. The microwave oven is specified as a 1000 watt unit, while the oven requires 240 volts and uses a current of 30 amperes to cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. A frozen meal can be cooked in the microwave oven set on full power in 10 minutes. The same frozen meal cooked in the electric oven set for 350 degrees F takes 40 minutes.
