Chapter 52, Problem 1RQ

In a relay circuit, what function is served by the holding contacts?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The function of the holding contacts in the relay circuit.

Explanation of Solution

The relay swtich are the mechanical devices that are used in conjunction with the electrical protective devices to protect the devices from any kind of fault.

The holding contact in the relay circuit are used to provide the current path to the relay coil as the start button is released.

The holding contact is in parallel with the start and in the same way the stop wire is in series to break the relay circuit and then stop the motor.

Thus, the holding contact are used to provide the closed path.

Liquid hexane flows through a counter flow heat exchanger at 5 m3/h as shown in Figure E5.5.The hexane enters the heat exchanger at 90°C. Water, flowing at 5 m3/h, is used to cool the hexane.The water enters the heat exchanger at 15°C. The UA product of the heat exchanger is found to be2.7 kW/K. Determine the outlet temperatures of the hot and cold fluids and the heat transfer ratebetween them using LMTD method.
Determine the fluid outlet temperatures and the heat transfer rate for the counter flow heatexchanger described in Problem 3 using the ε-NTU model. Assume that the properties can beevaluated at the given fluid inlet temperatures.
