    Hybrid Cars: Fuel Efficient System

    Uploaded by

    saurabharaole
    This document discusses hybrid cars and their fuel efficiency advantages over conventional vehicles. Hybrid cars combine two or more power sources, such as a gasoline engine and electric motor, to provide propulsion. They get significantly better gas mileage than conventional cars, emitting less greenhouse gases and adhering to emission standards. Hybrids work by recovering energy through regenerative braking and sometimes shutting off the gasoline engine entirely. Common hybrid models available now include the Honda Insight, Toyota Prius, and some Mazda vehicles. Driving slower and maintaining constant speed can further improve the fuel efficiency of hybrids.

    Hybrid Cars

    Fuel Efficient System

    Prashob.P
    Roll No:98260
    Overview
    Conventional mileage- 8.55 litres per
    100 km.
    Hybrid mileage- 3.92 litres per 100 km.
    Green House Effect- lesser emission of
    CO2 & CO.
     Adherence to Emission Standards &
    CAFÉ..
    What makes it a Hybrid?
    Combines two or more sources of power
    directly or indirectly to provide propulsion.
    Examples
    a)Mo- ped.
    b)Trains.
    c)Submarines.
    Hybrid Structure
    Parallel Hybrid
    Series Hybrid
    Hybrid Components
    Gasoline Engine
    Fuel Tank
    Electric Motor
    Generator
    Batteries
    Transmission
    Parts of an Engine
     

     
    Cylinders
    Types are Inline,V&Flat
    Inline Cylinder
    V-Cylinder Flat Cylinder
    Spark plug
    Valves
    Piston
    Piston rings
    a)Prevent leaking of fuel/air mixture in to
    sump during combustion.
    b)Keep oil in the sump from being lost.
    Combustion Chamber
    a) Area where compression combustion
    takes place.
    b) Displacement
    c)More displacement by increasing no: of
    cylinder or size of cylinder.
    Connecting rod

    Crank shaft

    Sump
    Parts of an Electric Motor
    Evolution of the Hybrid
    Problem with Gas & Electric powered cars.
    a)Pollution
    b)Poor mileage
    c)Slow speed
    d)Inconvenient to recharge.
    Smaller Engines are more
    efficient
    Heavier engine requires extra energy to
    accelerate.
    Heavier Pistons requires comparatively
    large energy.
    Displacement of cylinders is large so extra
    fuel consumption.
    Hybrid Performance
    Smaller gasoline engine than other
    conventional car engines.
    Powerful engine.
    Cars like Chevy Camaro with its big V-8
    engine is less efficient.
    Hybrid Efficiency
    Recover energy and store it in the battery.
    Uses regenerative braking.
    Sometimes shut off the engine.
    Use advanced aerodynamics to reduce drag
    like reducing frontal area of a car,covering
    of wheel housings,replacing of mirrors
    with small cameras.
    Use low-rolling resistance tires.
    Hybrid cars use special tires that are both
    stiffer and inflated to a higher pressure.
    Use lightweight materials like carbon fiber
    or lightweight metals like Aluminum and
    Magnesium to increase mileage.
    What’s Available Now?
     Honda Insight

     Toyota Prius

     Mazda d80(using stirling engine)


    Hybrid Mileage Tips
    Drive Slower

    Maintain a constant speed.

    Avoid abrupt stops.


    Conclusion
    Using concept of Hybridization of cars
    results in better efficiency and also saves a
    lot of fuel in today’s fuel deficit world.
