Question
Chapter 51, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Operation of diac.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Diac has a set voltage depending on the material used. When voltage of that particular value is applied, diac allow current to pass. It operates in both the direction of current flow unlike diode. Once the required voltage is given, it conducts in both direction.
The diac have negative resistance. Due to this, the minimum voltage value needed to keep the diac in on state is less than that of the minimum voltage needed to start the operation of diac. Therefore, the diac starts operation at a particular voltage value and stops when voltage is less than the conduction level.

EXAMPLE 1: A diesel engine is fitted with a turbocharger,
which comprises a radial compressor driven by a radial
exhaust gas turbine. The air is drawn into the compressor at
a pressure of 0.95 bar and at a temperature of 15°C, and
is delivered to the engine at a pressure of 2.0 bar. The
engine is operating on a gravimetric air/fuel ratio of 18: 1,
and the exhaust leaves the engine at a temperature of
600°C and at a pressure of 1.8 bar; the turbine exhausts at
1.05 bar. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and T(K)
turbine are 70 per cent and 80 per cent, respectively.
Calculate (i) the temperature of the air leaving the
compressor (ii) the temperature of the gases leaving the
turbine (iii) the mechanical power loss in the turbocharger
expressed as a percentage of the power generated in the
turbine. Using the values of : Cpair = 1.01 kJ/kg K, Vair = 1.4

Your team has recently observed low-frequency oscillations in the system following disturbances such as load changes, faults, and switching operations. These oscillations have led to voltage instability, frequency deviations, and, in severe cases, system blackouts. A task force has been formed to address this issue, and you have been assigned a critical role in developing a damping control strategy. Your objective is to analyze system performance, propose engineering solutions, and compare the effects of different damping approaches. Answer the following questions 1. Identify the Engineering Problem: - What is the fundamental issue affecting power grid stability? - How do low-frequency oscillations impact the system's reliability? - What parameters indicate system instability? 2.
