Compressor System Calculation - Both Electrical and Mechanical. See attachment.

Hi Everyone,

I'm having problems again with an assignment on modeling a compressor system ( details given in the attachment)

Given the following data on various components of the system;

AC supply - 415V, 3-Phase, 50Hz

Motor - 6-ploe, lap-wound separately-excited

- Ra=0.2Ohms, Rf=200Ohms

- Mechanical Efficiency = 95%

-k mag=0.2Wb/A

- Ia=80A at full Volts (0deg firing angle) Assuming Ia varies in proportion with E

- Number of conductors 720

Gearbox - Gear ratio = 3:1

- Efficiency = 92%

Compressor - Efficiency 90%

- 2 cylinder each with bore of 200mm

- Stroke/Bore ratio is 1.9:1

- Intake at atmospheric condition of 1.013bar and 15degC

- R=287(Nm/kgK) n=1.35

For rectifier firing angles from 0deg to 60deg, determine:

- motor speed and output torque

- compressor mass flow rate

- compressor output temperature and pressure

Use plots to show the variation of these with firing angle of the rectifier.

A worksheet would be much more useful.
