The Performance Of The Car Under Test

Although internal combustion engines are what powers most cars on the road today, its efficiency is very low. An average combustion engine today is only able to convert 20% of the thermal energy content of gasoline into doing mechanical work (3). Most of the energy is lost to heat which

When it comes to your first car, everyone wants a nice set of wheels. But, many people have unrealistic expectations for their first car. I was no exception. I was eager to end the days of having my parents shuttle me around. I had graduated high school. And Navy basic training is only three months away.

The Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang rivalry has been out for a long period of time. Some people say the Camaro is better, but on the other hand there are people saying the Mustang is better. “The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America’s best-selling pony car and in June, it was even close” (Migliore 2). There are many factors that can affect this topic from the sunroof to the wheels. Although the Camaros and Mustangs are similar in appearance, they differ in the important aspects of performance and powertrain.

During the late 1900’s, fuel efficiency was given very little thought by automakers. Instead, they competed with each other by coming out with larger and more powerful

Automobiles are American's second largest investment after real estate. It is impoprtant to understand how to keep your car performing at its best.

Lexus began turning its cars in the F significant performance vehicles since 2008. First F-model was the IS F, and now they decided another vehicle to add their F range, we are of course talking about 2016 Lexus GS F going to be presented at 2015 North American International Auto Show.

The primary engine of this vehicle will be a 6.0-liter V8 engine Virtec who have the capacity to produce 345 horsepower and an equally high torque. If this engine also be a higher fuel economy compared to the economic in the previous models and therefore this vehicle. The motor is a high acceleration and high top speed one that makes this vehicle ideal for people who love speed.

The internal combustion engine is vital to the modern automobile. An internal combustion engine uses an explosive combustion of fuel to push a piston within a cylinder. The piston moves to turn a crankshaft that is connected to the car's wheels through a drive shaft. Without an engine a car could not move. The internal combustion engine has a long history of how it was improved and redesigned, without which the car would wouldn’t be able to function.

The main purpose of this paper is to have a brief analysis and evaluation on the project provided by Road King Trucks Company. Six main problems offered are the main topics in this paper. After evaluation, a recommendation will put out to choose the right engine and on the project.

Similar to your best loved racing car, which surely requires the right fuel and regular maintenance to stay ahead of others, your body too requires the right quality of food and diet and in addition to this also healthy habits like daily exercises and proper hygiene. Always remember by adding the wrong fuel or not taking proper care of the car will affect the cars power and performance adversely, similarly lack of healthy diet will weaken your body's immune system.

After collecting the energy decay data from the experiment depicted in figure 1, the time stamps were modified to create an adjusted time starting at 0 seconds along with adjusted lengths on the x and y axis. This was to correct the data gathered to represent a more controlled experiment. Then equation 2 was used to determine the potential energy of the car at each time interval using the adjusted data. Following this equation 3 was used to determine the kinetic energy. Using the results of equation 2 and 3 equation one was used to determine the total energy in the system.

When he was eight years old, White's grandfather allowed him to drive his truck around the family's farm, while his grandmother rode with him during drives in the truck, which White stated was what began his interest in racing.After her death prior to a 2015 race at Salem Speedway, White placed a memorial decal on his ARCA Racing Series car.

The gas-fired internal combustion engine is perhaps one of the greatest human inventions of the 19th century. Since its invention, the engine has evolved numerous times to become the modern engine of today. As a result of the engine, methods of transportation have evolved, travel time has been reduced, and work and production have

     Acceleration and Speed are obviously the two defining characteristics of a fast car. Newton’s three laws of motion are an essential part in determining how fast a

Newton’s Laws of motion has influenced the safety aspects on cars in a revolutionary way and has very much acted as a backbone of its development over the past century. Since, the invention of the first functioning car in 1885 by Karl Benz, the conception of a car has been completely transformed, from its design and engines to its safety features, everything has been entirely transmuted. Correlating the first functional car to the automobiles of the current period, the evident dissimilarity between the two are vast. The major features comprised within the first two-seated gasoline powered vehicle was the compressed high-speed single-cylinder four-stroke engine with an output of 0.55 kW and maximum speed of 16 km/h (ScienceIQ.com), as shown
