Assignment 3 Be able to apply scientific principles related to heat, force

and machines to solve vehicle-related tasks.

Task 1
A.

(Pass P6)

Figure (1) A plate-type clutch has the following properties:

Ro = 12in.

Ri = 9in.

Engagement Force = N = 120.lb (Normal Force) It turns at n = 2000 rpm Friction disc has a coefficient of friction of 0.3 Determine torque and power that can be transmitted by this system.

B. A steel tie rod in a large vehicle is subjected to a load of 100kN. Find the minimum diameter of the tie rod if the allowable tensile stress (e ) is 75 MPa. Also, determine Youngs modulus of elasticity if the corresponding strain at the above mentioned allowable tensile stress is 3 75 10 4 .

Task 2

(Pass P7)

A cylinder is closed by a sliding piston which exerts a constant pressure on the gas in the cylinder. If the volume of the gas contained at 30 o C is 0 05m 3 determine (a) the volume at a temperature of 67 o C and (b)the temperature required to cause the volume to become 0 06m 3 .

Task 3

(Pass P8)

Figure (2); a simplified schematic diagram of hydraulic car braking system

The vehicle braking system in figure (2) may be split into two parts - input and output the brake pedal and the brake calliper piston. We apply(270N) of input force to the brake pedal. This is attached to a master piston which (for example) is 1.25cm across (diameter size) - . At the other end of the system is the calliper or wheel piston, which for example is 2 cm across:

1. Calculate the area differential (a mechanical ratio),

2. Calculate the output force at the calliper piston and, hence, by comparing it to the input force describe how mechanical ratios help a given vehicle mechanism function easily and properly.
