In this article we will discuss about the design of wind turbine rotor with the help of suitable diagrams. In a propeller type wind turbine, the following two forces operate on the blades: 1. Axial Thrust: It acts in the same direction as that of the flowing wind stream. 2. Circumferential Force: It acts in the direction of wheel rotation [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of electro gas dynamic generator with the help of a schematic diagram. Also learn about the advantages of electro gas dynamic generator over MHD systems. 'Carona electrode' at the entrance of the duct generates electrons. This ionised gas particles are carried down the duct with the neutral atoms and the [...]
In this article we will discuss about the construction and working of thermionic generator with the help of a suitable diagram. i. A thermionic converter/generator comprises a heated cathode (electron emitter) and an anode (electron collector) separated by 'vacuum', the electrical output circuit being connected between the two as shown in the Fig. 9.7. ii. The heat which is [...]
