The Electrical System Officer must: (Multiple Choice)

Your head of powertrain has found a battery cell with excellent specifications and yet cheap. He decides upon a 142s2p accumulator configuration using the cells with a capacity of 5.8 Ah. The manufacturer specifies an internal impedance of 1.5 mOhm. However, after a while you notice the cells are of horrible quality and their real capacity varies significantly leading to an unbalanced accumulator.

He performed experiements to find an approximation of the cells SoC relation to their open-circuit voltage (EMF) as shown in the following figure:

Assume due to imbalance, exactly half of the accumulators cells are at 40% SoC and half at 80% SoC. What current will be drawn at the maximum allowed power usage? Give answer in Amps to nearest whole number

Your team is considering two languages, Verilog and VHDL, for programming an FPGA. Which languages could be used?

You have an electric car with these specifications:

• ten 12V batteries
• constant velocity of 80 km/h
• flat road (friction 1.2kN -> aerodynamic load included)
• load for battery 160 Ah
• efficiency of 80% (Motor)

How far can you drive with one load? Give answer to nearest whol number in km.

Which of the following statements regarding the Brake System is false?

Three inductors are connected as shown in the following figure:

Given that L1 = 2L2, find L1 and L2 such that the equivalence inductance is L = 0.7 H.
Give your answers in Henry, rounded to three decimal places separated by a comma (L1, L2)

Which of the following requirements of the brake light assembly must be met to be rules compliant? (multiple choice)

Which of these HV- and LV-components have to be fire-retardant? (Multiple Choice)

A spring in a car’s suspension has elastic potential energy store 226 J. If the spring constant is 8.1N/mm, find the extension. Give answer in meters to three significant figures.

Calculate the force Fc working at point C. Give answer in kN rounded to one decimal place.

Forces at point A: Rax = 3kN, Ray = 9kN, Ma = 10kN/m

The previous season you could recuperate only 25% of your initially stored energy, but this season a big improvement in your drivetrain allows you to recuperate 63% of the initially stored energy.  Knowing that you had 9.6 kWh of energy in your accumulator during the last season, how much energy must your new accumulator have, if you assume, that it’s the same length and speed? Give answer in kWh to one decimal place.

Frage

A helicopter of mass 4200 kg is carrying a crate using a light extensible rope. The crate has a total mass of 800 kg, including its contents. The helicopter and crate are accelerating upwards at 2.0 ms^-2. What is the tension in the rope? Use gravititational field strength g is 9,81 N/kg. Air resistance can be ignored. Give answer to nearest whole number in Newtons

A racing car rolls to a stop on a horizontal course with an initial speed of v. It decelerates
only by friction with a rolling resistance of μF, which is supposed to be independent of
the current velocity.
What is the distance s the car needs to stop?
v = 300 km/h, μF = 0.15, g = 9.81 m/s2.
Give your answer in meters, rounded to four significant places.

A spring in a church clock has a spring constant of 10 N/m. What is its elastic potential energy store if it is stretched 8 m? Give answer in Joules to three significant figures.

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
