Q:Electrical Engeenearing

A diesel power plant is a stationary installation incorporating one or more diesel generator sets with controls and switchgear. Diesel plants are usually used as emergency backup systems for military installations, hospitals, and other vital installations that depend on reliable electric power. There are also diesel power plants that are the only power supply for remotely located installations and communities; for example, remote radar stations and island resort towns. In a diesel plant, there are one or more diesel generator sets, consisting of a diesel engine and a suitable generator. A typical arrangement would involve three generators of which any two can handle the peak load while the third can be held as a standby unit or dismantled for major maintenance at intervals. There will be a switchyard that contains the electrical contactors and safety devices for connecting the generators to the grid as needed, and there will be control panels for the individual generators, as well as synchronizing gear to keep the generators in phase. In many installations these controls are computerized and can be operated and monitored at a distance over the internet or other communications arrangement. Also, there will be arrangements for handling the fuel required by the engines. Often there is a large tank and separate day tanks for each engine. This type of arrangement helps ensure that the entire supply is not lost in case the fuel plumbing or day tank for one generator set springs a leak.

Q:How much would it typically cost to rent a 6000-8000watt diesel generator for a week? I know no one here probably knows for sure, so I'm just looking for ballpark figures. Thanks.

You can expect to spend between $60-$80 per day for a diesel generator.

Q:I want to know if someone put gasoline instead of diesel in my generator. I'm use to seeing dark yellow fuel in it and now the muffler is red hot

drain the fuel tank and refill it with diesel.I would use died fuel because there isn't road tax on it .That is why it is red. you can use home heating fuel in it to it will work the same.I use both in my generator.gas will make the engine run to hot and it will lock up .and a locking fuel cap is a good idea

Q:Fuel tank is for generator and its a day tank the size of the tank filling line is 2

If I understand your question right. It will reduce foaming when fueling the tank.

Q:Does a current carrying conductor experiences a force onlywhen the current is in the same direction as the magnetic field?

The answer to your question is, No. Fq* v*B*sin(theta) F: Magnetic force. q: Charge inside the conductor (in this case, that is causing the current). v: Velocity of charged particle. B: Magnetic Field. Theta: is the angle between the velocity vector and magnetic field vector (angle between v B). So if the current is in the same direction as the magnetic field, the angle between (v B) is zero or 180 degrees making sin(theta)0 which means F0 It experiences a force only when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field or at least makes an angle theta with the field that is not zero or 180. what this means is there has to be a velocity component normal to the magnetic field.

Q:i am having a electrical paper in my semester. I want to know about the design of a electrical generator

You could use a physics-type of view that the energy supplied by the input is going to be equal to the output and an efficiency factor for your generator. Then, given the RPM of your motor, you can determine the torque because you will know the horsepower required to generate your wattage.

Q:Hi everybody. well I buyed a welding machine, and I need a portable generator for use the welding machine, but I dont know the generator capacity to use it, if the welding machine is 50 to 250 amps, but I just use from 100 to 200 amps, Can I use a 6000 watss Generator? or I need more power?

About 15KW is needed to run a welder. Preferable is a diesel drive unit. Read the label plate on the welder, it will give the maximum draw needed for the supply side. Double that for the generator rating needed.

Q:If you were talking on the phone to someone and dropped the phone into a bathtub filled with water would they get electrocuted? Does it matter if it's wireless or not?

Hold on gang.she asked if they would get shocked. Do you mean the person being spoken to by the person who dropped the phone? If so, the answer is no. A shock occurs when your body connects a source of electricity and the ground. The person you're speaking to is not in the path that the electricty takes to ground even if the devices along the wire would permit the transmission.

Q:I have noticed that our kilowatthour meter reads backwards when I use some electrical appliances, please explain why. plgperera.

are you sure u dont have a diesel generator that sells el. energy back to the grid? jk Is this first time you look at the meter? If so take a look again, should be ok.

Q:I am designing the system to produce electricity for a computer room with 40 PC and 40 LCD screens. The needed power is about 15 KW (20 hp). My system consists of a compressor, a compressed air tank, a turbocharger and a mini gas turbine. I will talk a little bit about the operation: the air is released from the tank and driven by ducting system to turbocharger, at which the air flow is through turbocharger and run turbine to produce electricity. I have searched in internet many times about the turbine but still have no fit one. Can anybody suggest me one? And the turbocharger too if you don't mind. I really need all the details about both of them for calculations.

This is a very inefficient way to produce electricity. Where are you getting the power to run the compressor? Use that to run the computers. Or use that charge batteries that will run an inverter. Or use a diesel generator. .
