The effect of electronics and legislation on today’s vehicle.

Explanation of Solution
The use of electronics in the design of modern vehicles is a rapid ongoing process. It has enabled safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Electric and hybrid vehicles could not have been developed and produced without the use of extensive electronic features. Over the time, the growth of electronics has accelerated and this trend is expected to continue as the automotive industries develops and continue to further progress vast in the modern automotive world.
Electronics is the function through which much of safety, security, convenience, comfort and efficient functions are provided in the modern vehicle technology. It has also influenced the design and types of the vehicles which make the vehicle to get better gas mileage as well as being environment friendly too.
The modern existing features like automatic emergency brakes, auto locking, and lightning makes the interiors of the vehicle more appealing as well as comfortable for the user. Without the electronics it could not be possible to meet the ultimate need of the vehicle.

- The design of the gear-and-shaft system shown requires that steel shafts of the same diameter be used for both AB and CD. It is further required that the angle D through which end D of shaft CD rotates not exceed 1.5°. Knowing that G = 77.2 GPa, determine the required diameter of the shafts. 40 mm 400 mm 100 mm 600 mm T-1000 N-m Darrow_forwardAssume a Space Launch System (Figure 1(a)) that is approximated as a cantilever undamped single degree of freedom (SDOF) system with a mass at its free end (Figure 1(b)). The cantilever is assumed to be massless. Assume a wind load that is approximated with a concentrated harmonic forcing function p(t) = posin(ωt) acting on the mass. The known properties of the SDOF and the applied forcing function are given below. • Mass of SDOF: m =120 kip/g • Acceleration of gravity: g = 386 in/sec2 • Bending sectional stiffness of SDOF: EI = 1015 lbf×in2 • Height of SDOF: h = 2000 inches • Amplitude of forcing function: po = 6 kip • Forcing frequency: f = 8 Hzarrow_forward13.44 The end of a cylindrical liquid cryogenic propellant tank in free space is to be protected from external (solar) radiation by placing a thin metallic shield in front of the tank. Assume the view factor Fts between the tank and the shield is unity; all surfaces are diffuse and gray, and the surroundings are at 0 K. Tank T₁ Shield, T T₁ = 100 K E1 Solar irradiation Gs ε₁ = ε₂ = 0.05 ε₁ = 0.10 Gs = 1250 W/m² E2 Find the temperature of the shield T, and the heat flux (W/m²) to the end of the tank.arrow_forward
- question 664 thank youarrow_forward13.38 Consider the attic of a home located in a hot climate. The floor of the attic is characterized by a width of L₁ = 8 m while the roof makes an angle of 0 = 30° from the horizontal direction, as shown in the schematic. The homeowner wishes to reduce the heat load to the home by adhering bright aluminum foil (ε = 0.07) onto the surfaces of the attic space. Prior to installation of the foil, the surfaces are of emissivity & = 0.90. Attic A2, 82, T2 0 = 30° A1, E1, T₁ 土 L₁ = 8 m (a) Consider installation on the bottom of the attic roof only. Determine the ratio of the radiation heat transfer after to before the installation of the foil.
