A car has the following characteristics: weight = 18000 N; cross-sectional area = 2.5 m^2, drag coefficient = 0.5; rolling friction coefficient = 0.02. The energy content of gasoline is 3.5E10^7 Joules/Liter. The efficiency of fuel use varies with engine and drivetrain operation as described below.
(a) First consider highway driving. Assume a constant velocity of 27 m/s (60.4 mph) on level ground. Under these conditions the efficiency of the engine plus auxiliaries is 30 percent and the efficiency of the drivetrain is 85 percent. What is the fuel consumption in miles/liter under these conditions? Assume the density of air = 1.2 kg/m^3.
(b) Next consider city driving. As you know from your own experience, this is mostly start-stop driving. Assume that there are three start-stop cycles per kilometer of travel (five per mile). For each cycle the car starts from rest, accelerates up to 13 m/s (29.1 mph), then instantaneously stops. Under these conditions the net engine efficiency drops to 20 percent, and the drivetrain efficiency is 80 percent. What is the fuel consumption (miles/liter) for this city driving cycle?
How much money should an environmental soil cleaning company borrow to finance a site reclamation project if it expects revenue of $140,000 in the first year increasing by 3% per year over the 5-year cleanup period? The interest rate is 8%.
If the critical point in a DO sag curve is found to be 18km downstream from the discharge point of untreated wastewater, would you expect the critical point to move upstream (toward the discharge point)
A sample with a measured background level (Bi) of 22 mg/l was spiked with the equivalent of 30 mg/l without appreciably changing the sample volume. The result for the spiked sample (Ai) was 49.2 mg/l. Calculate Pi and determine if it falls with th..
Iron and vanadium both have the BCC crystal structure, and V forms a substitutional solid structure in Fe for concentrations up to approximately 20 wt% V at room temperature.
A contractor wants to build a fill at his new construction site. He has two options for purchasing his borrow material. Site A has a soil with a unit weight of 2.5 kN/m3, a moisture content of 14% and a cost of $8 per cubic meter.
