M07MAE INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

DESIGN OF A DYNAMOMETER TO TEST ELECTRIC VEHICLE

MOTORS

Name of the student: Anukul Diwan

Project Supervisor: Prof. Paul Green
Course: MSC(Automotive Engineering)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Project Aim:

To design a dynamometer which is capable of testing the AC

Induction motors of capacity 30 to 100kW

Assumptions:

 The maximum torque that the motor can exert is 300Nm

 The maximum speed of motor is 3600rpm

BASIC DESIGN CONCEPT
PARAMETERS CONSIDERATION

Important parameters to consider:

 Total Discharge
 Nozzle Diameter
 Radius of wheel

The finalised values of these parameters are as given

below:

 Discharge needed: 0.01m3/sec

 Radius of the wheel: 0.6m
 Diameter of nozzle: 20mm
SHAFT DESIGN

Critical Condition:

The critical condition for shaft design is that when the motor is
applying a torque of 300Nm and resisting force of 675N exerted by
water jet completely balances it.

Material for the shaft: AISI 1144 OQT 1000 Steel

Reliability: 99%

Diameter needed: 70 mm

Measuring Range: 4.26m

PUMP SELECTION

Manufacturer: Wanner Engineering Inc.

Model: Stan Cor MK08

Discharge: 0.012m3/sec

Suction: 1.5 inch

Outlet: 1inch

Maximum discharge head available: 59m

Maximum RPM: 3500 rpm

PROPOSED
DYNAMOMETER
ANALYSIS OF BLADE
ANALYSIS OF CASING

Metal selected for sheet : Low carbon steel

Sheet Thickness : 2mm
Size of the bolts : M6
Number of bolts :5
ANALYSIS OF WORKTABLE
COST ANALYSIS

Total Manufacturing Cost = 3333.591 GBP

Total Cost of Standard Components = 8755.24 GBP

Total cost of the proposed dynamometer

setup = 3333.591 + 8755.24
= 12088.831 GBP

Hence, it is seen that the cost constraint is satisfied.
