Calculation, design and prototype wheel hub drive

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking guidance for a thesis on wheel hub drive design and calculations. The original poster is looking for insights from those with experience in the field and plans to simulate the design using SCILABS/XCOS. Suggestions include purchasing a wheel hub drive to study its mechanics and design improvements firsthand. Engaging with a physical model can enhance understanding and support theoretical arguments with practical observations. The conversation emphasizes the value of hands-on experience in the learning process.

Hello All !

Above is the title of the topic and am looking for inputs. Right now I am working on this as my thesis. And I am looking for some one how have already worked in the similar field for a better guidance for me. Thank you in advance.

Why not buy one and study it?
 
Mr. Travis_king,

I am searching for projects on this or the people who worked before :( I have got to write my MAster Thesis on this and firstly I have to simulate this on SCILABS/XCOS. So, I want to have some valuable inputs :)

REgards,
 
You can do both...I think the best way to learn about the thing is to buy one and see what makes it work. See what's good about the design and what could be improved. If you have it there and can play around with it, you'll be much better equipped to make arguments about how future/other designs should be developed. You can take calculations you've dug up or come up with and run experiments to prove them, or to improve them based on actual observations.

But if you don't want to buy one, as they cost more than a few bucks, then good hunting.
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
