Calculate the Normal force on the rear left tyre during the first skidpad lap. You can assume, that your vehicle is in a steady-state condition and that there is no longitudinal acceleration. Further it can be assumed, that all 4 wheels have a lateral grip coefficient of 1.4. You can use the centerline radius stated in the rules. Following information regarding the vehicle are given. Give answer to nearest whole number in Newtons.

m = 220 kg

Cl = 3.8

A = 1 m^2

Rho = 1.1 kg/m^3

Wheelbase: L = 1.53

Trackwidth:t = 1.2 m

Height of CG: h = 0.2 m

Weight distribution/COP: 50%

During last year acceleration a top speed of 100 km/h was reached. Due to big improvements in the new drivetrain, the new vehicle reaches a top speed of 120 km/h. The aerodynamics chief has some worries about the stability of the rear wing bracing due to the higher aerodynamics load. Given the geometry below, by how much % does the bearing force in point A change in comparison to last year? (The aerodynamic package did not change and therefore some values can be assumed for both vehicles). Give answer rounded to one decimal place.

CL=3.8 CD=1.2 A=1 m² rho=1.1 kg/m³ L1=50 mm L2= 100 mm H1= 125 mm H2= 165mm

3 / 10

Calculate delta_h1 and delta_h2 in mm (integers), seprate the value with a comma, no space in between, delta_h1 is the first value (exp.: 126,4)

4 / 10

An air stream

dot{M}_L = 5.5 kg/s,

cp_L=1 kJ/(kgK)

is to be heated in a plate heat exchanger from

θ_L′=20∘C

θ_L′′=150∘C

. For this purpose, a flue gas stream

dot{M}_R = 7.22

cp_R=1.1 kJ/(kgK)

with a temperature of

θ_R′=300∘C

is available. The overall heat transfer coefficient is

W/(m^2*K)

.
What is the required heating surface AAA if the fluid streams are arranged in counterflow?

a. 314,12 m^2

b. 281,7 m^2

c. 328,1 m^2

5 / 10

The magnitude of the manifold reaction force FK is to be determined. In Newton, integer, no unit in the answer

6 / 10

A ball at a height of 20ft on Earth with a gravitational field strength of 9.81 N/kg, gained 284 J of gravitational potential energy. Calculate the mass of the ball. Give answer to two decimal place in kg.

7 / 10

A lorry contains an engine with a power of 0.255 W. The lorry drives for 51 s. Calculate the energy transferred in Joules and round to one decimal places.

8 / 10

How much current flows when 99 C passes down a wire in 11 s? Give answer in amps as a whole number.

9 / 10

in cm^3, round to decimal numbers sperated by point (13.5) no unit int the answer

10 / 10

A metal piece heated to

θ_1,M=1000∘C

with a mass of

M_M=6.5 kg

was cooled in a completely heat-insulated iron container filled with water. The mass of the water in the container is

M_W=10 kg

and the mass of the container is

M_B=2 kg.

The initial temperatures of the water and the container were the same and amounted to

θ_1,W=10∘C

. After complete thermal equilibrium between the immersed metal piece, the water, and the container, a temperature of

was established.
What is the average specific heat capacity of the metal piece

c

in the temperature range between

and

Input the result in kJ/(kg*K), round to 3 decimal numbers sperated by a point (example: 0.136).
