Chapter 42, Problem 1RQ
Although computers receive different information from a variety of sensors, the decisions for shifting are actually based on more than the inputs. What are they based on?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The decisions shift or not to shift in the automatic transmission.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The decisions to shift or not to shift in automatic transmission are based on the shift schedule and logic.
Explanation of Solution
Transmission control module (TCM) is designed or programmed in such a way that it receives signals from sensors, engine related or driver-controlled sensors to control the shift timing, torque converter clutch and shift feel. But the decisions to shift or not to shift is based on the shift schedule and logic. In shift schedule composed of shift points and are precisely selected based on the signals from appropriate sensors. Shift schedule logic select the appropriate gear. Other inputs TCM used to control shift speed are:
Throttle position.
Manifold absolute pressure.
Mass airflow.
Intake air temperature.
Barometric pressure.
Engine coolant temperature.
Crank shaft position.

A punch press with flywheel adequate to minimize speed fluctuation produces 120 punching strokes per minute, each providing an average force of 2000 N over a stroke of 50 mm. The press is driven through a gear reducer by a shaft rotating 200 rpm. Overall efficiency is 80%. a) What power (W) is transmitted through the shaft? b) What average torque is applied to the shaft?
1.58 The crankshaft of a single-cylinder air compressor rotates 1800 rpm. The piston area is 2000 mm2 and the piston stroke is 50 mm. Assume a simple “idealized” case where the average gas pressure acting on the piston during the compression stroke is 1 MPa, and pressure during the intake stroke is negligible. The compressor is 80% efficient. A flywheel provides adequate control of the speed fluctuation. a) What motor power (kW) is required to drive the crankshaft? b) What torque is transmitted through the crankshaft?
