| dc.description.abstract | Electric Machinery Fundamentals continues to be the market-leading machinery text due to its accessible, student-friendly coverage of important topics in the field. Chapman's clear writing illuminates the subject matter for students and practicing engineers. In the fifth edition, the use of MATLAB® is incorporated in examples and problems, where appropriate. The targeted and thought-provoking problems you have come to appreciate have been retained in this edition. New problems have been included to enhance the already rich problem sets. Key Features of the Fifth Edition • Learning objectives have been added to the beginning of each chapter to enhance student learning. • Flexible topic coverage allows either ac or dc material to be covered first. • A wealth of end-of-chapter problems are included, many of them new or revised. These revisions include new synchronous machine and induction motor problems based on the data sheets of real machines. • MATLAB coverage is integrated into problems and examples. • Updated coverage of topics appears throughout the text, including increased coverage of new trends in the industry, such as the use of induction generators for cell phone towers. | en_us |
