Chapter 9, Problem 1RQ
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.

Using the isothermal transformation diagram for a 1.13 wt% C steel alloy (Figure 10.39),
determine the final microstructure (in terms of just the microconstituents present) of a small
specimen that has been subjected to the following time-temperature treatments. In each case
assume that the specimen begins at 920°C (1690°F) and that it has been held at this
temperature long enough to have achieved a complete and homogeneous austenitic structure.
(a) Rapidly cool to 250°C (480°F), hold for 103 s, then quench to room temperature.
(b) Rapidly cool to 775°C (1430°F), hold for 500 s, then quench to room temperature.
(c) Rapidly cool to 400°C (750°F), hold for 500 s, then quench to room temperature.
(d) Rapidly cool to 700°C (1290°F), hold at this temperature for 105 s, then quench to room
temperature.

How to solve this?
A start-up company wants to convert an ICE vehicle into an electric vehicle with the following specification.
Power: 250 (HP) horsepower, (note: 1HP = 745 W)
Range: 300-miles
Fuel economy: 33.5 kilometers per gallon of gasoline.
Efficiency of the ICE: 25%
Energy Conversion: One gallon of gasoline at 100% efficiency is equal to 33.5 kWh/gallon).
a)Calculate the EV consumption rate as Wh/km and find the total energy of the battery pack in KWh to replace the internal combustion engine.
b)Design an 8-module battery pack for this full electric vehicle without compromising its range and performance (power).
Use commercially available cylindrical cells lithium cell with 20Ah capacity and 3.125 V average voltage. Cell dimensions are 5cm diameter and 10 cm height. The electric motor requires 250 V input that will be provided directly from the battery pack, Report the configuration of each module in…
