To determine

Identify how the direction of rotation of a three-phase motor can be changed.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

By changing any of the two motor leads, the direction of rotation of any three-phase motor can be reversed. Separate contactor will be required in each direction since the motor is connected to the power line regardless of the operating direction.

As per NEMA standards, the leads 1 and 3 will be changed for reversing and only one overload relay is needed to protect the motor. A reversing controller is one in which two separate contactors and one overload relay are built as one unit.

14.25.2.5 kg/s of a solution at 288 K containing 10 per cent of dissolved solids is fed to a forward-feed double-effect evaporator, operating at 14 kN/m² in the last effect. If the product is to consist of a liquid containing 50 per cent by mass of dissolved solids and dry saturated steam is fed to the steam coils, what PROBLEMS 1179 should be the pressure of the steam? The surface in each effect is 50 m² and the coefficients for heat transfer in the first and second effects are 2.8 and 1.7 kW/ m² K, respectively. It may be assumed that the concentrated solution exhibits a boiling-point rise of 5 deg K, that the latent heat has a constant value of 2260 kJ/kg and that the specific heat capacity of the liquid stream is constant at 3.75 kJ/kg K O
: +0 العنوان use only 5) A 100 kg batch of granular solids containing 30% moisture is to be dried in a tray drier to 15.5% by passing a current of air at 350 K tangentially across its surface at a velocity of 1.8 m/s. If the constant rate of drying under these conditions is 0.7 g/s m2 and the critical moisture content is 15%, calculate the approximate drying time. Assume the drying surface to be 0.03 m2 /kg dry mass. мони
