Assignment 3: Problems on well-to-wheel analysis

1. A four-stroke, gasoline-based engine has a fuel consumption of 0.278 g/s and delivers a load
of 10 Nm while operating at 3000 rpm. (The calorific value of fuel is 43 MJ/kg and specific
gravity is 0.7).
Consider the following efficiencies as required: Extraction = 93%, Processing = 95%,
Distribution = 99%, and Powertrain = 91%. Also consider the GHG emission factor for
gasoline as 2778.2 g CO2e/L.
 Find the well-to-wheel efficiency of the engine.
 If the vehicle runs for a total of 1.5 hours (without stopping) with an average velocity of
45 km/hr, find the WTW GHG emissions in g CO 2e/km.
 Based on the above arrived values, what could be the possible class of the vehicle?

2. For an EV, if the electricity used for its charging comes from the following sources: 40% coal,
10% natural gas, 25% solar, 5% nuclear, and 20% hydro. The EV has a battery of 3 kWh which
could drive till 95 km.
 Find the well-to-wheel efficiency of the EV.
 Find the WTW GHG emissions in g CO2e /km.

3. Develop the BSFC (g/kWh) contours plot over torque (Nm) versus speed (rpm) for the engine
data (obtained experimentally) provided to you in a separate excel file. (Consider the torque
values starting from 3.5 to 12 Nm at 0.5 step interval for plotting purposes).
Hint: You could use any curve fitting tools (excel or any other advanced tools) available to you
for extracting values at certain points or intermediate values needed for plot.
