Eddy current

METHODOLOGY To optimize the losses of given system which will simultaneously upgrade the voltage at every bus, following methodology is opted which also includes the calculation of required shunt compensation. There are two cases: Case 1: Base case The problem formed is a non linear constrained optimization problem. Interior point method is used to solve this problem. The interior-point approach to constrained minimization is to solve a sequence of approximate minimization problems. It reaches…

Nikola Tesla was a phenomenal engineer and inventor, who may have had some mental issues but never let that prevent him from doing amazing things. My interest in Nikola Tesla comes from his work including electric power. As an electrical engineer I am obviously interested in electricity myself. When he was nineteen years of age he started studying electrical engineering at Polytechnic Institute at Graz in Austria. There he was an excellent student. In June of 1884, Tesla traveled to New York…

create a model that transmits electrical current and demonstrate that electricity travels in a closed path. Materials: (6) light bulb, (6) battery, (6) 6 in. insolated copper wires, (6) wire stripper, (6) switches, (21) safety goggles, (21) aprons, and boxes of gloves. Vocabulary: Circuit, closed circuit, open circuit, electrical circuit, electromagnetic, and parallel circuit Engaged: We are going to do a KWL chart to find out, what you know about electrical current, what you want to know, and…

For the circuits, I noticed the resistors demonstrate Ohm’s Law and the currents/voltages demonstrate Kirchhoff’s law. I also found that the LED’s brightness changes with the amount of current that flows through it. The more current that flows through, the brighter the LED becomes. I also noticed that in most of the circuits, the measured values were different than the nominal values because there was…

Having an allowance for doubtful accounts gives a lower net realizable value for accounts receivable. This reduces both current assets and the current ratio. The new current ratio is listed in Figure 3. However, accounts receivable is involved in another special ratio—days to collect receivables. This ratio is shown on Figure 5 at the top of the next page and can be found by dividing 365 by the…

work allowed him to make numerous contributions to the world of electricity, many of which helped to usher in the high tech era which we are accustomed to today. Most people are aware of at least one of his discoveries, whether it is alternating current, wireless communication, or wireless controlling, but few people are aware that Tesla may have made another discovery which was more fantastic than all of the others combined. Tesla may have picked up a signal from another world. And done so…

Wheatstone bridge is a device used to measure unknown resistance by passing current through the resistor [1]. Wheatstone bridge is made up of a power source and galvanometer that joins the two-parallel circuits which contains two resistors each. It is very useful in finding small resistances and is used in various applications such as strain gages. The following figure shows the arrangement of a Wheatstone bridge. Figure 1: Arrangement of a Wheatstone Bridge [1] Importance of Wheatstone…

What would you do if you were one of the smartest humans on earth in the 19th century? Could you invent things that defined modern era as we know it? What if I told you about a man who was one of the smartest and did made a significant change in the world history. Shouldn’t you know about him? Well, I think you should. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor born in 1856 in a small village in Serbia during the Austrian regime. In 1884 Tesla emigrated into the United States to work for…

stable one, while tritium has a half-life of roughly twelve years, making it slightly radioactive (Unterweger et al.; Wanjek). However, tritium has a higher binding energy than deuterium making it a more efficient fuel (Watkins). The deuterium-tritium reaction has a yield of roughly 17.6 MeV whereas the deuterium-deuterium reaction only has a yield of about 3.65 MeV. Still, the DT reaction has its disadvantages. For one, in the DT reaction about 80% of the energy is stored in a high-energy…

Furthermore, he was foreseeing the development of a magnetic field which would be later used as a induction motor, also considering it his first successful performance of an alternating current(AC). Reputedly, Tesla moved to New York in 1884 eagerly buoyant to create modern…
