Week - 4

Problem statement: To find the probability distribution of reaching 60 or greater steps at the end of 100 die throws. Game explanation: A die is thrown 100 times and steps are taken as per the following instructions The player first throws the die: If the number of eyes on the die is 1 or 2 the player should take…

Aim: To create a user-friendly sorting macro using excel VBA to edit the excel worksheet Manual sorting of excel sheets is an arduous and time-consuming task furthermore some people might not be familiar with the sorting tool in excel. In such a scenario, creating a sorting macro using VBA would save time and effort. Even…

Aim: To write a Python macro that extracts data from a user input file and arranges the data in an ascending order based on a user input column.   Theory: Parsing means breaking it down into component parts so that its syntax can be analyzed, categorized, and understood. By doing this we are going to a string into…

Aim : To write a Python code that extracts the data from a data file and performs data analysis, visualization, compatibility check and basic performance calculation.   Theory: Parsing means breaking it down into component parts so that its syntax can be analyzed, categorized, and understood. By doing this we are…

1. popt – gives the optimal coefficients of the function to be fitted to the data points. pcov – it’s a square matrix whose diagonal elements gives an idea about the dependence of the coefficients for the fitted function. Larger the values means the variation of the coefficients are larger, meaning even…

Week 3 Challenge, Solving second-order ODEs and animating a simple pendulum Report: The program starts with providing input data for the simple pendulum such as damping coefficient, the mass of the ball, acceleration due to gravity and length of the pendulum. The following inputs were provided, Damping coefficient, b =…

Air standard cycle – Otto cycle (report)   The whole program can be subdivided into 13 subcategories.   Input variables to the program: Here the input variable such as the temperature of the fluid mixture after combustion namely T3 and the gamma value for air are specified. The inputs were as follows, T3…

AimTo write a MATLAB program to simulate the forward kinematics of a 2R Robotic Arm and create the animation of the motion. Theory A robotic arm is basically a type of mechanical arm, usually programmed as similar to that of a human arm. For such mechanisms, the links are connected by joints allowing it have…

Aim: To write a code in MATLAB that extracts the 14 coefficients and calculates the thermodynamic properties (enthalpy, entropy, molecular weight, and specific heats) of all the species in the data file 'NASA thermodynamic data'.  Theory: Parsing means breaking it down into component parts so that its syntax can be…

Aim: To develop a forward energy-based fuel consumption model of a P1 hybrid vehicle and to quantify the improvement in fuel economy numbers, on the UDDS and HWFET cycle as compared to a conventional IC engine vehicle. The model is based on the modifications of a conventional IC engine vehicle.   Objectives: …

The project can be divided into 3 parts. 1) variable initialisation script 2) Simulink model 3) post-processing script Script codes has been explained in the matlab files.   variable initialisation .m file %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Skill-Lync -> Hybrid Drives Development…

Project week 4   Aim: to understand the CVT Simulink model and make conclusion regarding the output files from the model.   Open loop model Blocks used: Signal builder Engine block Engine subsystem Cvt subsystem Mechanical gear ratio Vehicle body subsystem Goto blocks From block Scope block   Working: The brake and throttle…

Week 4   1.   Aim: implementation of control logic of a washing machine using Stateflow.   Blocks used: Rocker switch Constant block Lamp block Display block Character block (logic implementation)   Set up and working State flow: there are 7 states starting with the power supply and ending with the…

Challenge 2   Question1 The Primary circuit consists of the following blocks, Battery, switch, solver config and a solenoid. In order to create an input signal for the switch, a pulse generator was used with a time period of 4 seconds with pulse width of 50 percentage and a time delay of 2 seconds. This signal is…

Week 4.1- Genetic Algorithm   Aim: To find the global maxima of a stalagmite function using an optimisation tool (in this case genetic algorithm)   Creating a stalagmite function. Firstly, two 1D arrays for the x and y values were created using the ‘linspace’ command with upper and lower bounds of…

Challenge 4, Solving second-order ODEs and animating a simple pendulum   Report: The program starts with providing input data for the simple pendulum such as damping coefficient, the mass of the ball, acceleration due to gravity and length of the pendulum. The following inputs were provided, Damping coefficient, b…
