The Economy and Advisability of Operating a Combined Power and Exhaust Heating Plant at the Oregon Agricultural College

Creator:

Cohen, Lesser Raphael Solis and Read, Lance

Abstract:

The question of whether to purchase power or to maintain an isolated plant is one which frequently confronts the engineer, and the problem is by no means easy of solution, as there are a number of factors which vary with individual cases and determine the economy and desirability of the...

Undergraduate Thesis
High Tension Transformer

Creator:

Olsen, Bernhard, 1836-1922 and McLean, Howard Elmer

Abstract:

In view of the fact that the college authorities have purchased a set of wireless apparatus, it was thought best to design and construct a transformer of suitable size for transforming the power to be used by this set of instruments. The power required for such a set is approximately...

Undergraduate Thesis
Rectifiers

Creator:

Harris, Lee Marion and Du Moulin, Walter Wilbur

Abstract:

"There are at present four common methods of con verting the alternating current into direct current. These are in order of use, the motor generator set, the rotary converter, mercury vapor rectifier and the Murphy rectifier. A short description of these and connections for the last two will be given."--p.2

Undergraduate Thesis
The Fixation of Atmospheric Nitrogen

Creator:

Fairchild, Jackson Kenelem

Abstract:

Much has been accomplished in the last few years toward the conservation of natural resources, and in this work the engineer has taken a leading part. The prevention of unnecessary waste, the utilization of hitherto useless by-products, and the economic production of the world's necessities are important features of this...

Undergraduate Thesis
Performance Test of an Induction Motor

Creator:

Bowman, Harry David and Cady, Harry Palmer

Abstract:

The induction motor in its electromagnetic features is essentially a transformer, while in its general behavior it is analogous to the continuous-current shunt wound motor. In a transformer the primary and secondary members are both stationary and electrical energy is transformed from one pressure to another by the ratio of...

Undergraduate Thesis
The Design of an Induction Motor, Single Phase Double Current Generator Set

Creator:

Stutz, Lester Eugene and Pernot, Fred Eugene

Abstract:

Throughout the year the regular design work of the class room proved so profitable that it was thought that there was no subject which could be selected for thesis purposes of greater benefit,or which offered as great a latitude in the working out of the various problems, than the one...

Undergraduate Thesis
Power plant design

Creator:

Propst, Horace Minor and Sorenson, Edgar Adolf

Abstract:

During the last five years the demand for electrical energy in the state of Oregon,and throughout the entire country,has increased to such an extent that electrical generating stations have become an important factor in the economic development of the common wealth. Uonsidering the great need for cheap power, which is...

Undergraduate Thesis
The Test of an Induction Motor Generator Set

Creator:

Plankinton, John C. and Gianella, Vincent Paul

Abstract:

This thesis comprises a series of tests run on a compound direct current generator and an induction motor; separately and combined as a set, with sheets of data; characteristic and efficiency curves and deduction drawn therefrom relative to the two machines.

Undergraduate Thesis
The Design and Construction of a 5 K.W., D. C. generator

Creator:

Gilkey, Jesse Smart and Chapman, Alexander Kesterson

Abstract:

Since this treatise is to deal only with the construction of one special machine it is unnecessary to go into an extended discussion of dynamo electric machinery in general. Some of the parts common to all electric machinery of this character will be mentioned and then a short account of...

Undergraduate Thesis
Design, Construction, Operation and Uses of a 110,000 Volt Testing Transformer

Creator:

McLagan, Wayne Carl and Vines, John Oscar

Abstract:

Samples of insulating materials used in the construction of electrical machinery and apparatus are tested for dielectric strength before such are accepted for use. This is done by applying to the sample a high voltage until it is pierced through by the electric spark. This is a parallel case to...

Undergraduate Thesis
The Design of Hydro-Electric Power Station and Distribution System

Creator:

Powell, Joel William and Booth, Latimer Hobart

Abstract:

The marked movement of utilizing Oregon's water power in the service of generating electric current, has been promoted by the economics in transmission of electricity to distances both great and small; by the harnessing of industrial implements to electric power; and by the advancement and extension of interurban railways. It...

Undergraduate Thesis
Design of a Standard Speed, Revolving Field Type, Three Phase Alternator

Creator:

Williams, Floyd J. (Floyd James), 1920- and Rawson, Roy Eugene

Abstract:

The designing of electrical machinery is fully as essential to the thorough understanding of power equipment and apparatus, as is the taking of a laboratory testing course. One learns the relationship of the different parts, the methods of computing their dimensions, and the predetermination of outputs, efficiencies, etc. and thus...
