A car travelling at constant speed passes by a stationary pedestrian as the car driver sounds the horn. As the car approaches the pedestrian she hears the horn sounding at 50 Hz. Once the car has driven past her, she hears the horn sounding at 10 Hz. Calculate the frequency in Hz of the sound waves emitted by the car horn.

If we compare a petrol engine and an electric engine car, it is sufficient for the electric engine car (e.g Tesla Roadster) just to have 1 gear (forward), whereas petrol engine can have up to 7. Why is it sufficient for the electric engine to have a single gear? Is it because it can deliver the required torque always?

Part 1 You are to use your car to estimate its engine efficiency. When the car has been filled totally with fuel set the trip counter to zero, drive until it is filled again and note the mileage covered. In table 1, below, it states the energy for Gasoline (Petrol). Diesel and LPG. Calculate the energy of the fuel used. For this exercise, we will ignore times stuck in traffic, etc.. and to estimate the overall efficiency of the fuel...

Engine oil at a hundred degrees Fahrenheit passes through 1/8 inch diameter tube at a volume flow rate of 50ft3/m . If the surface temperature is 150 degrees F, what is the heat transfer rate Q. Q = ?????? Btu/h. Assume a smooth surface and the tube length is 5 meters. From the book use p (density) = 54.24 lbm/ft3,, Specific heat = 0.4809 Btu/(lbm*R) R=Rankin, Thermal conductivity = k= 0.08207 Btu/(h*ft*R) u = 7.617 * 10 -2 lbm/ft*s,...

Alex is riding in a car that has LEDs at each end. The car passes Jordan, who is standing on the ground 25 m from the car's path, with velocity 0.8c. Flashes from the two LEDs reach Jordan simultaneously, and when he observes them, he observes one to be 3.75 m to his left, and the other to be 3.75 m to his right. According to Alex, how far apart are the LEDs, and what was the delay between their...

The manufacturer of a new race car engine claims that the proportion of engine failures due to overheating for this new engine, (p1), will be no higher than the proportion of engine failures due to overheating of the old engines, (p2). To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 140 of the new race car engines and 145 of the old engines. They found that 14 of the new race car engines and 11 of the old engines...

A gas turbine engine is considered in a race car design. The engine operates on two stages of compression with intercooling and two stages of expansion. The pressure ratio across each stage of the compressor and the turbine is 7. The air enters each stage of the compressor at 300K and each stage of the turbine at 1300K. Using air standard assumptions determine: Thermal efficiency and back work ratio if no regenerator is used; Thermal efficiency and back work ratio...

1.) A mechanical. person is intrested in testing if tuning a car engine would improve the gas miliage. A simple random sample of 8 cars were selected to determine the milage (miles per gallon). Then each of the 8 cars were given a tune up Data After Tune up: 28.21, 29.4, 30.42, 29.67, 31.31, 29.68, 28.82, 29.38 Mean: 29.61 Standard Deviation: 0.94 Before Tune Up: 26.9, 26.37, 29.13, 28.46, 28.17, 27.67, 27.84, 27.18, Mean: 27.72 Standard deviation: 0.89 Difference (After-Before):...

A four-stroke engine is running on methane with an equivalence ratio of 0.8. The air and fuel enter the engine at 250 C, the exhaust is at 5270 C, the heat rejected to the coolant is 340 MJ/kmol of fuel.(a)Write the equations for stoichiometric and actual combustion.(b)By calculating the enthalpy of the exhaust flow, deduce the specific work output of the engine, and thus the overall efficiency. (c)If the engine has a swept volume of 5 Litres, and volumetric efficiency...
