Living now in an age where the steam engine in
many localities soon will be a mere relic more than a
useful mechanism with which to convert steam into useful
energy. It is rapidly being replaced by the gas engine
and the electric generator, in which the latter is
thought...
A high-temperature, high-pressure autoclave has been
adapted for use with a high-field nuclear magnetic
resonance spectrometer. The autoclave has an internal
pressure range of atmospheric pressure to 1.5 kbar and a
temperature range of 273 K to 1900 K. The autoclave is
usable in a high field (8 T) magnet...
In long distance transmission where it is impossible to transmit a direct current for electric rail roading and for many other applications on a very low voltage percent line loss, it is essential to transmit the power by means of an alternating current at high pressure and then reduce its...
"Before a company which manufactures electrical
machines allow them to leave the factory, each must
undergo certain tests to make sure that there are no
faults of design or workmanship and also ofttimes that they meet the specifications of the buyer. Four important
tests are made, e.g. (1) no load...
By reason of the fact that a thesis along the
line of one's course or about some subject with which he
is supposed to be familiar is required of every Senior
electrical by the electrical department before his graduation, the following description of the design and construction of a 10...
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...
