This educational motiveis achieved by permitting a simple way to enter Synchronous Machine (S/M) parameters andimmediately see interactive results all in the familiar software environment of MathCAD®. Avisual depiction of an axial cutaway view of a S/M is automatically produced and isaccompanied by a corresponding phasor diagram. To further enhance S/M understanding, thetool visually depicts changes to electrical and magnetic parameters as the user graduallyadvances through full

An innovative scholarship program developedand implemented at Florence-Darlington Technical College, Florence, SC has achieved an 81.8%on-time graduation rate for students in engineering technology programs and other advancedtechnologies by addressing a barrier referred to as the “digital divide” (NSF DUE #0422405,#0806514, #1259402). A technology support element was added to a National ScienceFoundation-funded S-STEM scholarship program in 2004 to address a well-documented needamong prospective scholars.

Thechange in time period for trials 10-12 is due to the number of waves present when graphed whichmakes differentiating between the calculated and recorded waves very difficult. A time interval of0.0305 seconds is used to obtain all data points. This step is done to match the values generated tothe values collected with the polling rate of the Arduino sensor (19200 baud or 45 points/s Twelveindividual data sets (path trials) are

Without additional evidence, it would seem a validconjecture that any student difficulties which exist concerning rectilinear motion would continue tobe carried forward, further compounded by the inherent two-dimensionality of rotation about astationary axis adding layers of complexity to an already murky understanding of that rectilinearmotion.

. The first topic is steady-state three-phase inductionmotor theory. The presented motor theory is based on the equivalent circuit model.5 Thismodel requires rotor and stator resistances, rotor and stator leakage reactance, and the motormagnetization reactance parameters. Locked-rotor and no-load tests find these parameters.Solving the equivalent circuit model gives the rotor and stator currents as a function of motorslip, s. After rotor current is obtained, the rotor developed power and motors losses can be foundfor any operating point. The tutorial introduces the motor developed torque equation anddemonstrates how to plot the motor torque-speed curve from the developed power found fromthe equivalent circuit.Machine load factor and efficiency
