KINDLY HELP OUT WITH THIS HW AS HOW WE SHOULD APPROACH THIS PROBLEM

Topic: Kinematics of Electric Variable Transmission (EVT)
An EVT consists of one planetary gear set with the following characteristics:
Sun gear 40 teeth
Planets: 20 teeth
Ring gear: 80 teeth
This one-mode EVT has mechanical connection as Toyota Gen-I (1997 ~ 2003) and Gen-II (2004
- 2009) Prius shown in below diagram. The engine is connected to the planet carrier. One electric
machine (MG1- generator) is connected to the sun gear. The other electric machine (MG2 –
traction motor) is connected to the ring gear. The ring gear is also connected to the output shaft of
the EVT. The engine speed range is 0- 5000 rpm with an idle speed at 1000 rpm, while the speed
range for the generator (MG1) and traction motor (MG2) are –6000 ~+6000 rpm. The EVT output
shaft (from ring gear) is connected to the vehicle wheel axle thru a gear train with final gear ratio
such that 1 mph corresponds to 100 rpm (ring gear speed).

(1) Write down the input/output relationships for torque and speed of the 3 shafts
(2) For electric machine speeds between –6000 and +6000 rpm, plot the output shaft speed as a
function of engine speed (0 ~ 5000 rpm)
(3) For electric machine speeds between–6000 and +6000 rpm, plot the vehicle speed as function
of engine speed (0 ~ 5000 rpm)
(4) What is the range of vehicle speeds kinematically possible to achieve?
(5) What is the range of vehicle speeds kinematically possible to achieve in pure electric mode?
(6) Explain how to use the device to start the engine (0 to idle speed) with the vehicle not moving.
(7) Explain how to move the vehicle in reverse at variable speeds with the engine at idle
For all questions (4 though 7), illustrate your answers graphically on the graph obtained for the
question 3.
