For a defined driving cycle, calculate the energy required for braking. A significant amount of energy is dissipated by braking.1–3 Braking a 1500- kg vehicle from 100 km/h to zero speed dissipates about 0.16 kWh of energy [(1/2)MV2] in a few tens of meters. If this amount of energy is dissipated by coasting and…

Introduction: An epicyclic gear train (also known as planetary gear) consists of two gears mounted so that the centre of one gear revolves around the centre of the other. A carrier connects the centres of the two gears and rotates to carry one gear, called the planet gear or planet pinion, around the other, called the…

Introduction: An internal combustion engine  is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced…
