Project 1

Conventional vehicles use internal combustion engine and in this the heat engine uses the principle of heat release through combustion of a fuel a combustion chamber to create expanding gases which pushes against a piston creating force and torque output. Vehicle engine converts chemical energy stored in the fuel into heat which is used to produce useful work.

performance of vehicle

power demand on the wheel need to instant supplied by the powertrain. i.e. word the power coming from the powertrain decides the power demand on the wheels(transmission). This is done by the transmission and gear sets to be operated at the set operating point.

the powertrain is consisting of an engine connected to the wheels through a transmission therefore the power comes from the engine

powertrain efficiency: -

we get power by converting chemical energy into the mechanical energy by the process of combustion. This process of energy conversion also has an efficiency and the energy input is in the form of fuel consumption.

____Calculation___

nt = efficiency of transmission(eta t)

ne = efficiency of engine (eta engine)

QLHV = it is the calorific value/ lower heating value of fuel.

mf = mass flow rate in [kg]

pe = Power of engine

pt = power of transmission

System Dynamics: -

Each system has are two generalised variables-

1] Efforts: - It is generalised force variable. ex- torque, force, voltage, heating value.

2] Flow: - It is the generalised flow/velocity variable. ex:- velocity, current, mass flow rate.

3] Power:- It is the product of the effort and flow variable. It is interchangeable between energy domains.

Energy based mode:-

1] Map based models: - Elements are modeled using maps which characterized the relationship between the input and output , output and losses etc.

2] Analytical models: - Elements are modeled using physical equation that represent the internal dynamics. These are the two extremes most models are a combination of the two with some dynamics models analytically and for some using maps.

in this model We use Forward Model:-
