Practical Aspects In Sensing Vrm Magneti- Sation Characteristics For Rotor Position Detection, N Mvungi

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The detection of rotor position (stator/roror poles overlap) in a variable reluc- tance motor using the dependence of permeance on rotor position is the core of the effort to eliminate the need of a physical position sensor in the rotor shaft in the positional feedback operation of the motor. The reliability of the whole proc- ess Of eliminating the need of a physical sensor rests squarely On the ability to measure the instantaneous permeance ofa phase when the motor is in operation and at stand still. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the in- triguing problems of obtaining repeatable …

Theoretical And Experimental Study Of Inlet Manifold Pressure Profiles Using Compensated Transducers, P Mtui

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Computer simulation and experimental findings on single cylinder four-stroke cycle engine were done with a view of getting more realistic inlet manifold pressures. Since there is a direct relationship between the inlet pressure profiles and the volumetric efficiency of the engine, then there is a possibility of utilizing the knowledge of these profiles to enhance better engine air flow characteristics and hence improvement of engine performance.

The simulation program is based on hometropic process with constant specific heats where the results were validated using experimental findings of the engine with varying engine speeds.

Experimental results are obtained by measuring manifold …

Control System Design Program Based On Cascade Compensation, Fredrick Ishengoma

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

CAD is becoming more widely accepted in the design and analysis of control systems. A program has been developed for analyzing single-input single-output linear time-invariant control system. The application of the progranl for frequency domain design of cascaded phase lead and phase lag coinpensators is briefly discussed. Two examples to illustrate the program are presented.

Electrical Equivalent Method For The Calculation Of Vibrations In Transformers, D Chambega

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Noiselevel calculations may be done using an electrical equivalent method. So far a single mass and a double mass vibrating system may easily be represented by equivalent electrical circuits which are in turn useful for analysis. Multimass vibrating systems like transformers do not have straightforward methods which can enable analysis of noiselevels. This paper attempts to develop such a method by extending the method applicable to a double mass vibrating system. Then the validity of the method is tested using a transforme

Computation Of Frequency Characteristics Of Lumped-Element 3 Db Branch Line Directional Couplers, H. R. Mgombelo

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

An analysis of the 3 dB lumped-element branchline directional coupler constructed using L-C and T networks is given. Matrices of lumped element capacitances and inductances in the form of low and high pass filters are equated to the matrices of the distributed element transmission lines at the centre frequency of operation, as a result of which design equations are derived. Using even and odd modes of excitation, frequency characteristics of the directional couplers are computed and compared to those of the coupler constructed using distributed element transmission lines.

The Design Of A Resonant Post Waveguide Filter, Ramjee Prasad

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

A seven stage, quarter-wave coupled, single post, resonant cavity type waveguide filter has been studied. The posts are placed according to the Tchebyscheff distribution. The filter is designed and fabricated to meet the following specifications: Centre frequency: 9.31 GHz, Number of stages = 7, 3-dB bandwidth = 300 Mhz, Ripple tolerance in the passband = 0.5 dB. The frequency behaviour of this filter has been experimentally studied and is in close agreement with the specifications.

Gain Margin And Phase Margin Interrelationships, M Luhanga

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The gain margin and the phase margin Of a control SY Stem are important parameters in the determination of the relative stability of control system. In this paper We derive general interrelationships between these parameters.

An Electro Hydrodynamic Study Of The Negative Corona Electric Wind, Henry Thadei Kadete

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The velocity of corona generated electric wind is measured. From the velocity profile mass movement and electrokinetic conversion efficiencies are deduced. High speed schlieren photographs illustrate the form of the velocity distribution function as well as its high degree of turbulence.

Simple Graphic Routines Ease Drawing Of Artwork For The Fabrication Of Microstrip Lines, H Mgombelo

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

A method which uses simple graphic routines available to general computer users for drawing diagrams intended to be reproduced on printed circuit boards (PCB's) is presented. Experimental verifications for the created microchip lines are reported.

Negative Corona Current Characteristics Of An Electric Wind System, Aviti Kadete

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The corona current characteristics of an electric wind system are investigated. First a brief summary of the negative point to plate corona mechanism and characteristics are presented. Then empirical equations for corona currents of an electric wind system are derived. Current waveform characteristics are also discussed. The effects of placing parallel rods in between a point-plate electrode gap to the corona currents are highlighted.
