Project-1: Modelling an electric Car with Li-ion battery

Objective: Change in coefficient of drag and lift with change in spoiler angle.   Introduction: Fuel consumption and High speeds are two of the major concerns of automobile makers. Aerodynamics plays a major role in solving the above two problems. Force exerted by a flowing fluid on a stationary object can be divided…

Objective: For a 10 cell series lithium ion battery model, simulate the thermal effects and compare life cycle performance at various temperatures, charge & discharge rates using MATLAB.   Introduction: In series, cells are joined end to end so that the same current flows through each cell.  In case if the…

Objective: Here we need to design a 18KWh battery pack. Based on this power requirement, We need to see how many cells are required in series and parallel connections. To arrange the cells in an eclosure, What should be the dimensions of the enclosure. How the cells connections are to be made (material and method).  …

Objective: Create a MATLAB model of electric car which uses lithium ion battery and suitable motor.  Implement the vehicle speed control using PI controller and generate brake and accelerator commands. For any three standard driving cycles show Energy consumption, Temperature rise of motor and controller. Battery…

Objective: Simulate a Rear wheel driven E-rickshaw. For any three standard driving cycles show Energy consumption, Temperature rise of motor and controller. For 100 km, constant speed driving at 45 kmph, Calculate Energy consumption and Temeprature rise of motor and controller. Battery State of Charge (SOC) for all the…

Objective: What is the difference between mapped and dynamic model of engine, motor and generator? How can you change model type?  How does the model calculate miles per gallon? Which factors are considered to model fuel flow?  Run the HEV ReferenceApplication with WOT drive cycle. Change the grade and wind velocity…

Objective: Implement control logic of a “washing machine” using Stateflow. Make a Simulink chart for the “Gear shift” logic.   Introduction: Implement control logic of a “washing machine” using Stateflow. Conditions to be followed while simulating the following model are, …

Aim: Rankine cycle simulator. Plot T-S and H-S diagrams. Efficiency and Back work ratio calculation. Introduction: The Rankine cycle is the fundamental operating cycle of all power plants where an operating fluid is continuously evaporated and condensed. The selection of operating fluid depends mainly on the available…

  Aim: Extracting coefficients from a NASA file and calculating Enthalpy, Entropy and Specific heat. Molecular weight calculation of each specie in the file. Plotting enthalpy,entropy and specific heat from the local temperatures. Saving the plots as images with appropriate names and dumping them in separate folders…

Objective: Combustion simulation on the Methane-Air model. Variation of mass fraction for different species(inlet and outlet) at diferent locations. Effect of addition of water in fuel on the mass fraction of soot and Nox at the outlet.   Introduction: Combustion is an exothermic reaction between a fuel and an…
