The exact question is -
A new sports car has the following published specifications and performance when fitted with a 1.8 litre, 16 valve, double overhead cam, turbocharged engine.
Maximum Power: 190bhp at 7800rpm
Maximum Speed: 140mph (level road,sea air)
Mass: 1200kg
Chassis...
Well the rolling resistance at 140mph is 200N and this results in an additional power required of 16.78hp.
The power required against the drag of the car at 140mph is 159.57hp.
The maximum power of the car is 190bhp at 7800rpm.
So how do i calculate the efficiency of the power...
Hi Guys and Girls
I have a tutorial question that requires me to calculate the efficiency of the power transmittion system in coverting engine power to vehicle motion.
I have the rolling resistance at a specific speed and the required information to calculate the power required to overcome...
