(DC motor derive ω expression with respect time

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around deriving the expression for angular velocity (ω) of a DC motor with respect to time (t). Participants explore the challenges posed by unknown variables such as armature current (Ia) and magnetic flux (ø), and engage in mathematical reasoning related to the equations governing motor dynamics.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in deriving ω due to the unknowns Ia and ø.
  • Another suggests that either Ia can be determined or a substitution can be made to eliminate Ia from the equations.
  • A participant presents a derived expression for ω but notes that the term ø remains, indicating it cannot be eliminated.
  • There is a question raised about the physical meaning of ø and a suggestion to verify the algebra in the derivation.
  • One participant identifies ø as magnetic flux and asserts confidence in their derivation process.
  • Another participant points out that the armature resistance being "negligible" may affect the derivation, prompting further consideration of its implications.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the derivation process or the treatment of the unknown variables. Multiple competing views on how to approach the problem remain present throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty regarding the elimination of the term ø and the implications of assuming negligible armature resistance. There are unresolved mathematical steps and dependencies on definitions that affect the derivation.

Homework Statement


I try to derive the expression of ω with respect to t,
but the problem is the armature current Ia or the flux is unknown. I don't know how to solve it.
Anyone could give me ideas? Thanks a lot

Homework Equations



τ=J(ω/t)
Vs=IaRa+Ea
T=KEøIa
Ea=KEøω

Either (a) you are mistaken, and there is some way to find Ia, or (b) you can make a substitution for Ia so the term no longer appears in the equation - like you do with simultaneous equations.

Thanks for your reply.
I did in the following steps:
1.J(ω/t)=KøIa;
2. and then substitute Ia from Vs=IaRa+Ea into 1;
finally, i got:
ω=Vs/(Kø+JRa/Køt)

But it turns out the term ø cannot be eliminated and it is unknown.
Where am i wrong?

Really?
What physical property does "ø" represent?

τ=J(ω/t)
... isn't that supposed to be: $$\tau=J\frac{d\omega}{dt}$$...??

ω=Vs/(Kø+JRa/Køt)
recheck your algebra there...
how did you get this from what went before?

The fact they give you a bunch of initial values suggests to me you should look for a DE.

ø is the magnetic flux.
i have double checked for it, the deriving process should be right.
and it seems reasonable if t approaches infinity
Vs=Køω quite similar to Ea=Køω
 
Derivation:
i have double checked for it, the deriving process should be right.
... So long as you are sure.

You don't appear to have used the fact that the armature resistance is "negligible".

What does that do to the derivation?
