Energy Chain Analysis of Passenger Car Transport
Transport makes up 20 percent of the World’s energy use; in OECD countries this has exceeded 30 percent. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that the global energy consumption will increase by 2.1 percent annually, a growth rate that is higher than for any other sector. The high energy consumption means that transportation accounts for nearly 30 percent of CO2 emission in OECD count...
متن کاملResidual Stresses in Passenger Car Wheels
Knowledge of the residual stress state in wheels resulting from manufacturing and subsequent service loading is useful for several practical reasons. The ability to estimate residual stress levels permits the tuning of manufacturing processes to control the magnitude and distribution of these stresses in new wheels in order to achieve safe performance in service. Similarly, understanding the re...
متن کاملLower limb injuries to passenger car occupants.
A detailed examination was undertaken of hospitalized car occupants who sustained a lower limb injury in a frontal crash. The assessment included an analysis of the type, severity and causes of these injuries and mechanisms involved in lower limb fractures. The findings showed that fractures and dislocations occurred in 88% of lower limb injury cases, that more than half were from crashes < 48 ...
متن کاملNovel Turbocharger Concept and Control Strategy for Diesel Passenger Car
In a modern small sized passenger car fitted with a common rail diesel engine, turbo-lag is an important factor which hampers its performance. This paper discusses the basics of turbo-charger and VGT and some of the methods employed to reduce the turbo-lag in CRDI diesel engine. A novel turbocharger concept, approach to design, the control strategy and advantages of the concept are explained.
متن کاملRecent Developments in Electric Vehicles for Passenger Car Transport
Electric vehicles are considered as technology which can significantly reduce the problems related to road transport such as increasing GHG emissions, air pollutions and energy import dependency. The core objective of this paper is to analyze the current energetic, ecological and economic characteristics of different types of electric vehicles. The major conclusions of this analysis are: The hi...
