Study of the Battery

A battery is any element capable of storing electrical energy for later use. The elements that form a battery are shown in the figure above. The liquid inside the battery is called the electrolyte, which is composed of a mixture of distilled water and sulfuric acid with a ratio of 34% sulfuric acid and the rest distilled water. The electrolyte level must be one inch above the plates.

Coupling Batteries

To achieve higher voltages (V) or battery capacity (Amp-hours Ah) than those available with standard

DC-DC Converters and Battery Characteristics

DC-DC Converter Analysis

Boost Converter

A boost DC-DC converter switches at 100 kHz. The input is +12 V and the duty ratio of the transistor is 75%. The input inductor is 25 μH, and the output capacitor is 100 μF. If the load draws 50 W, the output voltage is found to be 48 V.

Output Voltage Calculation

What is the output voltage for a 10 W load? If L > Lcrit and C > Ccrit, then Vout/Vin = 1/D2. With a 50 W load, Vout = 48 V. This gives D2 = 0.25, so it would be continuous mode. For a 10 W

Pneumatic Compressors and Valves: Types & Applications

Pneumatic Compressors

Piston Compressor

This compressor sucks in air at atmospheric pressure and then compresses it. It consists of intake and exhaust valves, a piston, and a connecting rod-crank mechanism.

Admission:

The shaft rotates clockwise. The crank pulls the piston down, and the intake valve lets air in 10º after Top Dead Center (TDC) until Bottom Dead Center (BDC).

Escape:

At BDC, the intake valve closes, and as the piston ascends, it compresses the air. Under pressure, the exhaust valve opens
