An electric motor drawing 10 amps at 110 V in steady state produces shaft power at 9.7 Nm and 1000 RPM. For a first Law analysis and considering the motor as the control volume How much heat will be produced from the motor (in Watts)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The heat rate produced from the motor is 84.216 watts.

Explanation:

The electric motor receives power from electric current and releases power in the form of mechanical energy (torque) and waste heat and can be considered an stable-state system. The model based on the First Law of Thermodynamics for the electric motor is:

[tex]\dot W_{e} - \dot W_{T} -\dot Q = 0[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\dot Q[/tex] - Heat transfer from the electric motor, measured in watts.

[tex]\dot W_{e}[/tex] - Electric power, measured in watts.

[tex]\dot W_{T}[/tex] - Mechanical power, measured in watts.

The heat transfer rate can be calculated in terms of electric and mechanic powers, that is:

[tex]\dot Q = \dot W_{e} - \dot W_{T}[/tex]

The electric and mechanic powers are represented by the following expressions:

[tex]\dot W_{e} = i \cdot V[/tex]

[tex]\dot W_{T} = T \cdot \omega[/tex]

Where:

[tex]i[/tex] - Current, measured in amperes.

[tex]V[/tex] - Steady-state voltage, measured in volts.

[tex]T[/tex] - Torque, measured in newton-meters.

[tex]\omega[/tex] - Angular speed, measured in radians per second.

Now, the previous expression for heat transfer rate is expanded:

[tex]\dot Q = i \cdot V - T \cdot \omega[/tex]

The angular speed, measured in radians per second, can be obtained by using the following expression:

[tex]\omega = \frac{\pi}{30}\cdot \dot n[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\dot n[/tex] - Rotational rate of change, measured in revolutions per minute.

If [tex]\dot n = 1000\,rpm[/tex], then:

[tex]\omega = \left(\frac{\pi}{30} \right)\cdot (1000\,rpm)[/tex]

[tex]\omega \approx 104.720\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

Given that [tex]i = 10\,A[/tex], [tex]V = 110\,V[/tex], [tex]T = 9.7\,N\cdot m[/tex] and [tex]\omega \approx 104.720\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex], the heat transfer rate from the electric motor is:

[tex]\dot Q = (10\,A)\cdot (110\,V) -(9.7\,N\cdot m)\cdot \left(104.720\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\dot Q = 84.216\,W[/tex]

The heat rate produced from the motor is 84.216 watts.
