Feasibility Analysis of the Transmission for a Flywheel/Heat Engine Hybrid Propulsion System.

摘要

A study was conducted to quantitatively assess the practicality,from both a performance and cost viewpoint,of a transmission that will meet the requirements of a flywheel/heat engine hybrid propulsion system for a family car. The scope of the study included: consideration of various types of feasible transmissions;selection of candidate transmission,detailed performance and controls analysis of the candidate transmission;and lastly, a detailed cost analysis of the transmission. The heat engine considered in the study was a standard internal combustion engine typically used in present-day,medium sized,family cars. (Author)
