    CHT or ECT Modelling

    Hi, I have a single cylinder air-cooled 4 stroke motorcycle engine. I need to model the ECT/CHT (Engine coolant temp sensor or Cylinder head sensor, acronym really doesn't matter since the temperature sensor is mounted in the cylinder block, machining a small area in fins). I had a thought...

    Detecting Reverse rotation of the Wheel

    Hi, How can I detect the reverse rotation of the Car wheel? I know that vehicles have VRS (Variable reluctance sensor) or Hall sensor for wheel speed sensing. I think, the voltage from the sensor will be the same, for both directions(since the trigger wheel in shaft will cut the flux). Is there...

    Individual Material for parts

    Hi All, Am beginner to Ansys Workspace v10. Am planning to do a thermal analysis of a PCB board with IC mounted on the board. This calls for applying a plastic material to IC device and a copper to the PCB baord. I have designed the two components in DesignModeler, but then they both get merged...

    Fixing MAP sensor in Bike

    Hi, I am planning to fix a MAP sensor in a carbureted bike. Is there any precaution I need to follow while fixing the MAP sensor? My objective is to measure the manifold vacuum that exists in the manifold. The bike has a 150cc, single cylinder engine. I have given the bike picture...

    Is TPS required in EFI?

    Hey Guys, i was just wondering about the basic Electronic Fuel Injection System for a Samll Single cylinder engine? If I use the MAP sensor for the load sensing and Crankshaft Signal for Speed sensing (Basically Speed density method), can i get away with TPS (& use a normal mech throttle body)...

    3D Modelling with AutoCAD LT 2004?

    Hey All, I was trying out the AutoCAD LT 2004 after a long time. I was using AutoCAD 2000 and did lot of 3D modelling with materials & rendering effects. But those options(3D model creation toolbars & rendering) are not there in AutoCAD 2004 LT. Have they removed those options or Any other...

    Throttle Plate on Diesel Engines?

    Hi All, i heard that Throttle plates are used in Diesel Engines recently for controlling Air for meeting the emissions norms Euro 5 or so (in CRDI systems). But is it that the Efficiency of the Diesel Engine will drop bcos of the this of Throttle plate? If at all the throttle plate is used...

    Throttle Body Design

    I am planning to fit a Electronic Fuel Injection for a Single cylinder four stroke Two wheeler engine. I am planning to remove the carburettor and design the throttle body with butterfly valve and fit a Injector near the inlet port. I think there is no necessity for me to design a throttle body...

    Pointers in Simulink

    Do you have any idea, how to use pointers in simulink functions? We normally declare all the variables as global and use them in functions in Stateflow, but this consumes lots of memory. So how can we pass variables to functions?

    Amplifier Circuit Design

    Hi All, I have designed a simple non-inverting amplifier using LM358 with gain of 1.76 (Rf = 0.76K & R1 = 1K). I have given a supply voltage of +5V to the opamp. My input voltage varies from 0 to 5V. My problem is that the output from the opamp gets saturated at 3.6V(which is limited by the...
