The Wet Skid Pad World Record was set at FSN2019 by TU Delft. They managed to set a time of 4.901 for the left circle and a time of 5.031 for the right circle. Assume the run was completed perfectly along the center line of the circles. What was their average speed during this record run? Give answer to two decimal places in mph.

2 / 10

The given gearbox consists of two gear sets with wheels 1, 2 and 3, 4 respectively. The wheels are fixed to their shafts. Calculate the drive speed (in rpm) of wheel 4?

Given: n1=600 rpm, z1=18, z2=90, z3=24, z4=120

3 / 10

Unit: kg/(m^3), to decimal number seperated by: . (exp. 15.3), write only the number in the field below

4 / 10

Calculate the maximum possible cornering speed (in kph) for the following FSAE car when going through a 20 m radius corner.

m = 260kg; cl *A * Rho = -6 kg/m; Tyre coefficient of friction = 1.5; g = 9.81 m/s^2.

The vehicle can be treated as a point mass, driving resistances neglected. Round to 1 decimal

5 / 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.

6 / 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. 281,7 m^2

b. 314,12 m^2

c. 328,1 m^2

A team is in the process of validating the compliance of the shoulder harness bar used in their car. Choose the part in which their configuration is incompliant:

a. The attachments are positioned 220 mm apart, measured center to center, and have a thickness of 1.7 mm

b. From the driver’s shoulders rearwards to the mounting point or structural guide, the shoulder harness is 8° above the horizontal

c. The steel tube has a thickness of 2 mm, and a 0.26% in carbon and 1.7% manganese content

d. The bar is bent (not straight) and the team uses an analysis method of inducing 7kN to each attachment in the horizontal plane to prove compliance

8 / 10

An object is fired vertically upwards from the ground at time t = 0 s in still air at a speed of 8.0 m/s. On the way up, what is the height of the object above the ground when it has a speed of 2.0 m/s. At what time does it reach this height on the way down? Give both answers separated by a comma to one decimal place.

p2 = p1 * (V1/V2)^gamma
gamma= 1.4

9 / 10

An air as an ideal gas expands adiabatic from a volume of V1 = 1,00l with its pressure of p1 = 10^5 Pa to 1/10 of its original pressure. What volume V2 (in litres) does the gas reach after it’s expansion? Round to two decimal places

10 / 10
