Electrical systems three-phase

A three-phase system has three current-carrying conductors in close proximity. While the conductors of phases R and B will have an almost identical impedance, with the same skin and the proximity effects, the conductor of phase Kis under the cumulative effect of electric fields... 

Electrical power systems are normally three-phase systems connected using wye or delta connections. In wye connections the three phases are connected to form a letter Y with a neutral point at the intersection of the three phases. In delta connections the three phases are connected to form a Greek letter delta (A). Delta systems do not have a neutral hence delta systems are 3-wire systems. A Y connection has a neutral and thus it is a 4-wire system.

By analogy to electrical systems, the resistance r can be thought of as consisting of several components. For convenience, three such components are often defined, a surface resistance (rsurl), which depends on the affinity of the surface for the species, a boundary layer resistance (rh(ulll), which depends on the molecular diffusiv-ity of the gas in air, and a gas-phase resistance (rgas), which depends on the micrometeorology that transports the gas to the surface ... 

The SOFCs have practically the same advantages as the MCFCs for applications in electric utility companies and chemical industries. An additional advantage is that, because the SOFC power plant is a two-phase system (gas and solid) whereas all other types of fuel cells are three-phase systems (gas, liquid, and solid), the complex problems associated with liquid electrolytes are eliminated...

The most recent study on heat transfer in a three-phase fluidized bed is reported by Armstrong et al.4 The experiments were conducted in a large three-dimensional column 24.1 cm in diameter and 274 cm high. The heat-transfer surface was concentrically located within the column and consisted of a brass sheath 6.35 cm in diameter by 25.4 cm long, which housed four 1,500-W electric heaters. An air-water-glass sphere system was examined. Four particle sizes (0.5,... 

Electrical System. The conductors in the hose-cable carry power and control signals down to the underwater vehicle and return information. The drive-pump motor is powered by three-phase, 220 V carried down three paired conductors. The solenoid valve, which controls the clean pump, is energized by 24 V direct current (DC), which is controlled on deck. The submersible pump that circulates water through in situ sensors uses 110 V alternating current (AC) power from the hose-cable. 

Chem Systems Inc. has been developing a three phase reaction system for methanol synthesis since the mid 1970 s (ref. 28). The original concept incorporated a liquid-fluidized-bed reactor. This research, which was funded by the Electric Power Research Institute, used particles of a heterogeneous catalyst, obtained by crushing pellets of a commercial Cu-ZnO-AljO type catalyst, which was fluidized by a circulating inert hydrocarbon liquid such as a mineral oil. One of the major benefits of the process over conventional synthesis is claimed (ref. 28) to be excellent temperature control of the reactions so that higher per pass conversions can be achieved, thereby reducing...
