Experimental Evaluation Of Impulse Turbine Designs For Chain Testing Systems, Aaron Donlon
Experimental Evaluation Of Impulse Turbine Designs For Chain Testing Systems, Aaron Donlon
Theses
There are several ways to test automotive timing chains for wear in a laboratory environment. One novel method proposed by Borg-Warner Morse TEC uses fluid jets striking an impeller blade. The momentum of the oil striking and deflected by the impeller blade is used to produce a torque. This torque is transmitted to the system through the timing chain. A previous theoretical design study (conducted elsewhere) evaluated some of the design factors as they related to machine performance and ultimately to the torque loads applied to the chain. From this theoretical study came the design for two novel bucket and …
Vehicle Simulations Of Fuel Economy For An Automatic Transmission And A Ratio Limited Continuously Variable Transmission, Hemant Suthar
Vehicle Simulations Of Fuel Economy For An Automatic Transmission And A Ratio Limited Continuously Variable Transmission, Hemant Suthar
Theses
An automatic transmission (AT) of a vehicle was compared with a ratio limited Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Dynamic model of a passenger car was simulated to compare the overall efficiency of the vehicle equipped with these different types of transmissions. The overall efficiencies were calculated in terms of fuel consumption of the vehicle. The results are based on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) city and highway driving cycles. A Modular approach is taken to model an existing vehicle. The complete model is subdivided into an engine model, road load model, throttle and brake pedal models, and a transmission model. The …
