QUESTION:

Consider an electric motor with a shaft power output of 20 kW and an efficiency of 88 percent. Determine the rate at which the motor dissipates heat to the room it is in when the motor operates at full load. In winter, this room is normally heated by a 2-kW resistance heater. Determine if it is necessary to turn the heater on when the motor runs at full load

QUESTION:

Consider an electric motor with a shaft power output of 20 kW and an efficiency of 88 percent. Determine the rate at which the motor dissipates heat to the room it is in when the motor operates at full load. In winter, this room is normally heated by a 2-kW resistance heater. Determine if it is necessary to turn the heater on when the motor runs at full load

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

An electric motor with a specified efficiency operates in a room. The rate at which the motor dissipates heat to the room it is in when operating at full load and if this heat dissipation is adequate to heat the room in winter are to be determined.

We assume that the motor operates at full load.
