You are working on the design of a new hybrid-electric experimental airplane that uses six 12-volt batteries in series. During integration testing, results indicate there is unexplained drain on the batteries. The first step in troubleshooting is to analyze the circuit that may be modeled as three resistors in series, R1 (10 Ω ), R2 (12 Ω ) , and R3 (18 Ω ). Find the total resistance. Calculate the total current. Find voltage across each resistive element. Calculate the power delivered by the batteries. Find the power delivered to the 18Ω . In addition to the above calculations, explain to a member of upper management why better understanding of this circuit by calculating these values may be beneficial to the future design.

Consider the design of an engine for a high-efficiency automobile engine design that is to work in conjunction with an electric motor in a hybrid drive. Management wants to know what would be the displacement and efficiency of an engine producing 50 hp (net). Since engines are always rated at ISO (sea level) conditions where their performance is best, take the inlet air to be at 14.7 psia and 59°F. Consider two different directions the company could take: a) Otto...
