Learning outcomes: - principles of a scientific approach to the assessment of the properties of the car as a whole and its functional systems; - the main criteria for assessing the technical level of promising cars; - perspective directions of development of a design of cars, their units and systems.
Required prior and related subjects: • Cars, • Mechatronics vehicles • Electronic and electrical equipment vehicles.
Summary of the subject: The main directions of improving the design of the car. Energy saving, weight loss. Aerodynamic drag. Rolling resistance. Prospects for the development of car design. Improving energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and safety. Improvement of electric cars Alternative fuels. Natural gas. Fuel of biological origin. Ethyl and methyl alcohols. Rapeseed oils and rapeseed methyl oils. Hydrogen fuel. Promising designs of cars. Cars with hybrid power plants (HPS) and hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen-air fuel cells. Mathematical models of car energy with combined power plants. Energy accumulators (recuperators). Possibilities of using kinetic energy of motion. Inertial energy accumulators. Hydropneumatic energy accumulators. Intelligent on-board car systems. Brake systems. Ensuring the stability of the car. Optimal ICE control. Promising batteries and electrical equipment
Assessment methods and criteria: • Current control (30%): written reports of practical work, oral examination. • final control (70% control measure, exam): written exam (60%) and oral form (10%)
