Help me in design calculation for hybrid car

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the design calculations for a hybrid car, specifically the Honda Insight. Key specifications include an In-Line 4-Cylinder engine with a displacement of 1339 cc, producing a combined horsepower of 98 at 5800 rpm and torque of 123 lb-ft between 1000-1700 rpm. The electric motor is a BLDC motor with a power output of 13 hp at 1500 rpm and torque of 58 lb-ft at 1000 rpm. The formula for calculating power is established as Power = Torque * Angular Velocity, with angular velocity being related to rpm.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of internal combustion engine specifications
  • Knowledge of electric motor characteristics and performance metrics
  • Familiarity with the formula for calculating power from torque and angular velocity
  • Basic principles of hybrid vehicle design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the calculation of horsepower and torque for internal combustion engines
  • Explore the principles of BLDC motor performance and efficiency
  • Study the relationship between engine specifications and vehicle performance
  • Learn about hybrid vehicle battery specifications and their impact on overall design
USEFUL FOR

Automotive engineers, hybrid vehicle designers, students in mechanical engineering, and anyone interested in the performance calculations of hybrid cars.

Hye everyone...
My project is regarding with hybrid car.can someone show me the calculation and the formula used to proved this value.taking example honda insight:

for engine:

Engine Type: In-Line 4-Cylinder
Displacement (cc): 1339
Horsepower @ rpm (Combined: engine (SAE net) + electric motor): 98 @ 5800
Torque (lb-ft @ rpm, combined engine (SAE net) + electric motor): 123 @ 1000-1700
Bore and Stroke (mm): 73 x 80
Compression Ratio: 10.8 : 1
Valve Train: 8-Valve SOHC i-VTEC®

how do they get the horsepower and torque?what is the formula used?

for electric motor (BLDC motor):

Power (hp @ rpm): 13 @ 1500
Torque (lb-ft @ rpm): 58 @ 1000

how do they get the horsepower and torque?what is the formula used?

additional info:

battery specs:

Output (Volts): 100.8
Rated Capacity: 5.75 Ah

I really stuck here...Please help me.Thank you all :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
if you use the right units...

Power = torque * angular velocity

(Angular velocity is related to rpm remember)

It's probably possible to calculate the likely power output of a gas engine from first principles (if you are an expert in gas engine design), but it can also be measured on a rolling road. As can the torque.

You don't have enough information to calculate the power yourself. At best you could check that the power and torque are roughly consistent with each other because the give you the rpm.
