Voltage sag is defined as a short reduction in voltage magnitude for a duration of time. It is considered to be the most common power quality issue. This book presents various voltage sag indices proposed by electrical association organisations as well as ones suggested by researchers. Furthermore, mathematical descriptions of proposed voltage sag indices are derived. The indices are verified against various types of load, loading levels, and line X/R ratios. Mathematical analysis and verification against the IEEE four and thirteen node test feeders concludes in various versatile real time voltage sag indices known as the “combined voltage index” and “voltage sag proximity index”. In order to illustrate the real time...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Voltage drop is the reduction in voltage in an electrical circuit between the source and load. In electrical wiring national and local electrical codes may set guidelines for maximum voltage drop allowed in a circuit, to ensure reasonable efficiency of distribution and proper operation of electrical equipment (the maximum permitted voltage drop varies from one country to another). Voltage drop may be neglected when the impedance of the interconnecting conductors is small relative to the other components of the circuit. For example, an electric space heater may very well have a resistance of ten ohms, and the wires which supply it may have a resistance of 0.2 ohms, about 2% of the total circuit...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A voltage reference is an electronic device (circuit or component) that produces a fixed (constant) voltage irrespective of the loading on the device, power supply variations, and temperature. It is also known as a voltage source, but in the strict sense of the term, a voltage refernce often sits at the heart of a voltage source. The distinction between a voltage reference and a voltage source is, however, rather blurred especially as electronic devices continue to improve in terms of tolerance and stability.Voltage references are used in ADCs and DACs to specify the input or output voltage ranges.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In petroleum engineering, the following volume units are used:Note that the m gas conversion factor takes into account a difference in the standard temperature base for measurement of gas volumes in metric and imperial units. The standard temperature for metric measurement is 15 degrees Celsius (ie. 59 degrees Fahrenheit) while for English measurement, the standard temperature is 60 °F. Gas undergoes a slight expansion when the temperature is raised from 15 °C (59 °F) to 60 °F. This expansion is built into the above factor for gas. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The volumetric flow rate in fluid dynamics and hydrometry, (also known as volume flow rate or rate of fluid flow) is the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time (for example cubic meters per second [m3 s-1] in SI units, or cubic feet per second [cu ft/s]). It is usually represented by the symbol Q. Volumetric flow rate should not be confused with volumetric flux, as defined by Darcy's law and represented by the symbol q, with units of m3/(m2 s), that is, m s-1. The integration of a flux over an area gives the volumetric flow rate. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Volumetric Haptic Display (VHD) is similar to a (visual) Volumetric Display, but informs touch instead of vision. A VHD projects a touch-based representation of a surface onto a 3D volumetric space. Users can feel the projected surface(s), usually with their hands. The display is otherwise not detectable, and offers no visual feedback. There are no known instances of a fully operational VHD at this time.At this time, there is no set method to implement VHDs, but it is likely that a wired glove will be used. Methods of projecting the tactile information into space are still being developed. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

Volumetric concrete mixers include all mixing devises that measure the raw materials using volume rather than weight to produce a concrete mix.The volumetric mixer blends the concrete mixture using an auger or a paddle or a drum device to mix the ingredients with water. The volumetric mixing process starts with a batch metering system that allows the volume of raw materials to be measured prior to entering the mixing chamber. This process can be as simple as using a measured bucket, to highly sophisticated and computerized batch plants that feed the correct volume. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Unlike polygon meshes, which represent only the surface as polygons, volumetric meshes also discretize the interior structure of the object. One application of volumetric meshes is in finite element analysis, which may use regular or irregular volumetric meshes to compute internal stresses and forces in an object throughout the entire volume of the object.

Direct measurements of room air velocity distribution can provide quantitative information for scientists, engineers, and building managers to better understand the ventilation operating conditions and the dynamics of the airborne pollutant dispersion in a room airspace. Traditional measurement methods, e.g. thermal anemometers, are point wise, intrusive, and difficult to use for obtaining whole flow field information. PIV techniques can make a measurement over global domains, but are only applicable to the cases of a nearly two dimensional flow field within a narrow laser-illuminated plane. This book presents a unique measurement method, Volumetric Particle Streak-Tracking Velocimetry (VPSTV), to measure flow velocities in a whole large...

This car remained in production until the end of the Second World War.The Volvo cars were quite expensive compared to their imported competitors. The PV51 was the answer to a request from Volvo's dealers to offer a smaller and less expensive model. The rear end of the body was similar to the Carioca, but the front was new and the interior was simplified, to cut the price. The PV51 had to make do with a live front axle.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Volvo 66 was a Swedish automobile. It sprang directly from the DAF 66, which was originally styled by Michelotti. The compact car was introduced in August 1975, almost exactly a year after Volvo Cars bought DAF, and before production of the Volvo 300 series began.The Volvo 66 was known for its continuously variable transmission, the Variomatic. The Volvo version of the car was slightly restyled and given larger bumpers compared with those of the original DAF model. Although this was in keeping with Volvo's emphasis on safety, it also increased its cost of production. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Volvo F88 was a heavy vehicle introduced in 1964. It was a particularly advanced vehicle for its time, with an all steel constructed cab at a time when some British manufacturers were still producing wood-framed with alloy panelling vehicles. Also, unusually for the late 1960s, it was available with a sleeper cab with additional space behind the driver where a bunk was fitted. Power outputs ranged from 240hp to 290hp with an 8 or 16 speed gearbox. This was another major selling point, as a typical UK 32 ton articulated truck of the time made do with a 180hp Gardner and a 6 speed gearbox. The extra power made the F88 a particularly fast truck and it gained instant popularity, thanks also to...
