ELECTROMECHANICAL POWER CONVERSION: LOW-FREQUENCY, LOW-VELOCITY CONVERSION PROCESSES
In dhis book the autlhors, both professors at the Polytechnic Institute of New York, have created a ncw and highly successful apprwuh to the study of the transformation of power from me chanical to electrical force anl from the electrical to the mechani:cal. With greater concern with natural phinmomena in which power conyeision Priocesses play a role and with thc rapidly developing technology of nuclcar power, they present the principles of power conversion in a unifird and fundamental way, permitting the inclusion of both the old and new in power conversion, and laying the groundwork for the students' understanding of and participation in future developments.
In a basic one-semester coverage (with many additional sections that can be used optionally) the authors cover: historical developments: the dynamics of charged particles in electric and magnetic helds, multiparticle systems—the magnetoplasma-dynamical eguations: homopolar converters, power conversion in heteropolar structures—synchronous converters with uniform air gap, steadystate performance of synchronous converterss dynamic performance of synchronous converters, the asynchronous heteropolar converter —terminal characteristicss and the induction converter. Some 170 textual figures, 38 worked examples, 133 problems, references, introductions and summaries to each chapter, and four appendices are induded. To make this Dover edition even more useful to those who are studying on their own, solutions to all problerns are appended to the main text.
This book has been reguired reading at the Polytechnic Institute of New York and other major schools of engineering throughout the muntry, With new problems of energy conversion arising, this book will be extremely useful for preparing those who wish to tackle today's energy problems, ,
