Transient Study of Synchronous Machine Field Characteristic

The type of excitation systems mainly used for synchronous generators are the static excitation system and the blushless excitation system. In both cases, it is important to estimate the field characteristic. The authors derived about new knowledge of three‐phase sudden short circuit and mismatched synchronizing using the electromagnetic transients program (ATP‐EMTP). This paper studied these phenomena.     

Gel Properties of Surimi from Pacific Herring

Surimi produced from male Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallusi), a by-product of the roe fishery, formed gels comparable to those formed by lower-grade pollock surimi but were darker in color. Linear relationships were found between moisture content of surimi and punch force, torsion stress, torsion strain, and compression force at failure. Addition of dried beef plasma, egg white, whey protein, wheat gluten or potato inhibitor resulted in stronger gels, although no proteolysis was detected in a control sample. Low-temperature setting, or heating at 40°C prior to cooking at 90°C resulted in stronger gels, as measured by punch test.
