Prime movers for power generating operation?
A "prime mover" is part of a generator - specificially the thing that's causing the generator to spin (such as a turbine). It is called the prime mover because it is what is causing the generator's rotation.
What factors affect the rotation in a DC generators?
Your question is unclear. Do you mean how the rotor of a d.c. generator is driven? If so, then its shaft is connected to a 'prime mover' which can be an internal combustion engine (petrol or diesel engine) or a turbine (steam, water, gas). The type of prime mover usually depends on the source of fuel available to operate that prime mover and whether it is fixed or portable.
What is prime mover in a dc generator?
The prime mover in a DC generator is the mechanical device or system that provides the initial energy required to rotate the generator's armature. It could be an engine, turbine, or any other source that converts mechanical energy into rotational motion. The prime mover rotates the generator's rotor, inducing a magnetic field and generating electrical power.
What is the working principle of steam power plant?
As we are very clear about the Power generation, that is there must be a prime mover which can develop a mechanical energy from the natural sources of energy. As in the case of steam power plant the water is headed and converted in to steam (super headed) then it is allowed to expand in to a turbine. The turbine causes to rotate (turbo machine) at about 3600rpm. Hence the Turbine becomes a prime mover here, then the rotational movement (shaft) is connected with the generator/alternator in order to produce electricity according to Faraday's law.
The power angle of a synchronous motor is affected by what two things?
the excitation voltage applied the power input to the prime mover
What happen if a prime mover fails when two generators are in parallel?
It acts as synchronous motor by consuming power from the other generator....
What happen if the alternator is driven by a motor to generate electric power did it is cost effective?
Alternators are not only driven by turbines, they can be alternator can be driven by any prime mover -including 'motors' if necessary.
What city did the reign of terror happen?
It was not limited to Paris, but Paris was certainly the prime mover.
When was The Prime Mover created?
The Prime Mover was created on 1961-03-24.
Prime mover for pulling the arm posteriorly?
The prime mover is the Latissimus Dorsi.
What is an example of a prime mover?
A prime mover is a machine which transforms energy to/from thermal or electrical, or pressure from/to mechanical form. Examples of a prime mover are engines or turbines.
Prime mover of jaw closure?
The masseter is the prime mover of the jaw closure.
What is the prime mover of hand pronation?
Pronator quadratus is the prime mover in pronation of the hand.
Prime mover muscles?
A prime mover is the muscle that has the most influence in one direction on the joint it acts on. For example the prime mover in extension of the forearm is the triceps.
What are the ratings and certificates for Prime Mover - 2009?
Prime Mover - 2009 is rated/received certificates of: Australia:M
What is prime mover for a hip?
a prime mover is the main muscle that causes movement. In the case of the hip flexion, the prime mover would be the rectus femoris or the ilopsoas
What is in a locomotive?
A prime mover (engine, produces power), an alternator (converts rotational movement to electrical energy), and traction motors (converts electrical energy to move the locomotive).
