    Speed regulation: Isochronous vs Droop Control of Generator

    Hi! I am confused with the speed regulation for Isochronous control. In Droop control, we can surely solve for a value of speed regulation because droop allows the generator to have a varying frequency. However, in Isochronous control, the frequency and speed from no-load to full-load is the...

    Quick question on direction of dl in motional emf integral

    Homework Statement u = velocity B = magnetic flux density Homework Equations ∫ (uxB)⋅dl The Attempt at a Solution From my understanding, the direction of dl depends on the resulting direction of (uxB). How will I know if my dl is in positive or negative?

    Engineering Finding the voltage in this AC circuit

    Homework Statement Homework Equations KVL at that loop The Attempt at a Solution I can easily solve all the individual current and voltages in this circuit using Mesh analysis and Gaussian Elimination. But how do I get Vx? I can simply add the voltages of the two 10uF capacitors if they are...

    Number of KCL and KVL equations for branch-current method

    I see. Why is i4 carrying the same info as ix? I'm a bit confused. Also, what I meant was using mesh currents(mesh analysis) and nodal voltages(nodal analysis) were not to be used in this analysis. That's why we had to assign currents for each branch. I'm having a hard time expressing my...

    Direction of friction between disks

    So when I isolate disk D, the friction points to the left to counter the clockwise motion, and when I isolate disk E, it now points to the right. Is this right?

    Direction of friction between disks

    Homework Statement Disk D turns with a constant clockwise angular velocity of 30 . Disk E has a weight of 60 lb and is initially at rest when it is brought into contact with D. Determine the time required for disk E to attain the same angular velocity as disk D. The coefficient of kinetic...

    Why are there two values of Hy here?

    Homework Statement Homework Equations ∑M at H = 0 and ∑M at I = 0 ∑Fy = 0 The Attempt at a Solution Assuming that Iy is positive and Ix is negative; Hy is negative and Hx is positive. Now I would like to compute for Iy and Hy using ∑M at H = 0 = Iy(2.3) - 50(3.05) Iy = 66.3043 ∑Fy = 0 =...
