The overall powertrain system therefore defines the dynamic performance and character of the vehicle. The design of the powertrain has conventionally been tackled by analyzing each of the subsystems individually and the individual components, for example, engine, transmission and driveline have received considerable attention in textbooks over the past decades. The key theme of this book is to take a systems approach - to look at the integration of the components so that the whole powertrain system meets the demands of overall energy efficiency and good drivability. Vehicle Powertrain Systems provides a thorough description and analysis of all the powertrain components and then treats them together so that the overall performance of the vehicle can be understood and calculated. The text is well supported by practical problems and worked examples. Extensive use is made of the MATLAB(R) software and many example programmes for vehicle calculations are provided in the text. Key features: Structured approach to explaining the fundamentals of powertrain engineering Integration of powertrain components into overall vehicle design Emphasis on practical vehicle design issues Extensive use of practical problems and worked examples Provision of MATLAB(R) programmes for the reader to use in vehicle performance calculations This comprehensive and integrated analysis of vehicle powertrain engineering provides an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate automotive engineering students and is a useful reference for practicing engineers in the vehicle industry.Summary: VEHICLE POWERTRAIN SYSTEMS -- Contents -- About the Authors -- Preface -- List of Abbreviations -- 1 Vehicle Powertrain Concepts -- 1.1 Powertrain Systems -- 1.1.1 Systems Approach -- 1.1.2 History -- 1.1.3 Conventional Powertrains -- 1.1.4 Hybrid Powertrains -- 1.2 Powertrain Components -- 1.2.1 Engine -- 1.2.2 Transmission -- 1.2.3 Vehicle Structure -- 1.2.4 Systems Operation -- 1.3 Vehicle Performance -- 1.4 Driver Behaviour -- 1.5 The Role of Modelling -- 1.6 Aim of the Book -- Further Reading -- References -- 2 Power Generation Characteristics of Internal Combustion Engines -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 Engine Power Generation Principles -- 2.2.1 Engine Operating Modes -- 2.2.2 Engine Combustion Review -- 2.2.3 Engine Thermodynamics Review -- 2.2.4 Engine Output Characteristics -- 2.2.5 Cylinder Pressure Variations -- 2.3 Engine Modelling -- 2.3.1 Engine Kinematics -- 2.3.2 Engine Torque -- 2.3.3 A Simplified Model -- 2.3.4 The Flywheel -- 2.4 Multi-cylinder Engines -- 2.4.1 Firing Order -- 2.4.2 Engine Torque -- 2.4.3 Quasi-Steady Engine Torque -- 2.5 Engine Torque Maps -- 2.5.1 Engine Dynamometers -- 2.5.2 Chassis Dynamometers -- 2.5.3 Engine Torque-Speed Characteristics -- 2.6 Magic Torque (MT) Formula for Engine Torque -- 2.6.1 Converting Part Throttle Curves -- 2.6.2 The MT Formula -- 2.6.3 Interpretation -- 2.7 Engine Management System -- 2.7.1 Construction -- 2.7.2 Sensors -- 2.7.3 Maps and Look-up Tables -- 2.7.4 Calibration -- 2.8 Net Output Power -- 2.8.1 Engine Mechanical Efficiency -- 2.8.2 Accessory Drives -- 2.8.3 Environmental Effects -- 2.9 Conclusion -- 2.10 Review Questions -- 2.11 Problems -- Further Reading -- References -- 3 Vehicle Longitudinal Dynamics -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 Torque Generators -- 3.2.1 Internal Combustion Engines -- 3.2.2 Electric Motors -- 3.3 Tractive Force -- 3.3.1 Tyre Force Generation.PPN: PPN: 809505150Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
