Electric motors are eveiywhere. These ubiquitous devices come in a wide variety of sizes and power outputs, ranging from a fraction of a watt to huge multikilowatt applications. Tiny ones operate computer disk drives, power windows/mirrors, and windshield wipers moderate-sized ones run appliances such as fans, blenders, electric shavers, and vacuum cleaners a large drive pumps, elevators, sawmills, and electric trains and vehicles. 

Forward-curved blades Moves large volumes for a given size the driving power-required rises markedly with increased volume, necessitating an adequately rated drive motor.

The economics of the heat pump are dependent on the relative costs of the drive power and heat energy from other sources. In the UK, where electricity is currently about three times the price of natural gas, the electric drive heat pump needs to have a COP of 3 to break even, and 4 or more to be competitive. This price ratio will change as fossil fuels run out in the next century.

Darcy s law applied to a soil liner shows the rate of flow of liquid q directly proportional to the hydraulic conductivity of the soil and the hydraulic gradient, a measure of the driving power of the fluid forcing itself through the soil and the cross-sectional area A of the liner (see Figure 26.9). 

All of the drive power of the Sequel is in an 11-inch-high chassis. The individual powered wheels provide excellent control on snow, mud, ice and uneven terrain. GM s start-up time in freezing conditions is less than 15 seconds at -20°C. GM knew that if they are going to put these cars into the marketplace, they would have to start in the middle of a northern winter. 

Up until now, we have been considering the somewhat simplistic situation where the driving power for the reaction is provided by the energy released by the components within the cell as they react, i.e. when undergoing redox reactions. A battery, e.g.for powering a torch or watch, is an application for such a cell during its discharge.

Power generation vs. direct drive. Power generation, a primary utility, was discussed in Part 1 in regard to type of configuration to save space once a power load is determined. To determine the peak power loads, decisions must be made early on prime movers for the main users of energy crude-shipping pumps, gas compression, and water-injection pumps. 

The process engineering tasks are classified according to the product groups for which they are used. There are four main areas material mixing, material separation, reaction, and phase transformation. The common factor of all the processes in Table 2.1 is of course the high-viscosity phase and consequendy the specific difficulties of the machinery (technical design, dimensioning with respect to forces, torques, drive power, pressures). 

Today, compounding is predominantly carried out with co-rotating twin screw extruders with constantly increasing available drive powers, torques, and screw speeds. 

Measuring the drive power enables us to identify the specific energy input e=drive power/ throughput, which is also known as the specific drive power. This is a characteristic value for many processes and is also used for comparisons [1]. 

An enthalpy diagram also shows that the temperature increase in the example shown is directly linked to the specific energy input. Figure 6.6 gives the specific enthalpies for different products and converts them from kj/kg (left) to kWh/kg (right). In this example, the drive power of the extruder is converted into the dissipative product heat increase . 

The specific heating and cooling power is an often-underestimated source of error. It is physically possible for a large production extruder to require less heating and/or cooling power than a small laboratory extruder in terms of drive power (Fig. 11.15). Therefore, laboratory extruders are often operated adiabatically or only moderately heated in order to ensure comparability with a large extruder.
