(BEME_F_21_A_715) If you want to measure some of the key parameters that come with the 3.7 L V6 VQ37VHR on Infiniti QX-50, then just watch how easy this table is! A summary of some important parameters that can either be calculated or derived from the engine's specifications is provided below: Engine Parameter Analysis of Infiniti QX-50 (3.7 L V6 VQ37VHR): Parameter Value Engine Type V6 Displacement 3.7 L (3696 cc) Bore 95.5 mm Stroke 86.0 mm Compression Ratio 11.0:1 Oil Type 5W-30 Power Output 320 hp (239 kW) at 7000 rpm Torque Output 360 Nm at 5200 rpm Maximum RPM 7000 rpm Fuel System Direct Injection Engine Layout Front, Longitudinal Number of Cylinders 6 Valvetrain DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshaft) Number of Valves per Cylinder 4 Weight Approximately 210 kg Oil Capacity 4.9 L (with filter change) Coolant Capacity 9L Additional Calculated Parameters: Power-to-Weight Ratio: It depends on the power which engine can produce and weight of vehicle. Power to Weight Ratio=Power Output hp/ Weight kg Weight of car approx. 2100 kg; Power to Weight Ratio=320/2100 ≈0.152 hp kg Torque-to-Weight Ratio: Essentially this shows how much torque is available per kilogram of vehicle. Torque to Weight Ratio=Torque Output Nm/ Weight kg Torque to Weight Ratio=360/2100 ≈0.171 Nm kg Performance Metrics: Fuel Consumption: Urban: 16 L/100 km Extra Urban: Around 8.6 L/100 km COMBINED: 11.3 L/100 km Acceleration: 0-62 mph in about 6.4 seconds Top Speed: ~240 km/h Summary: High power and torque, active fuel economy for a car of its size are the hallmarks of the VQ37VHR engine found in the Infiniti QX-50. Other contributing to the performance and economy are its design with direct injection and a high compression ratio. This tabulated data is a great starting point for your basic parameter analysis assignment and allows additional insights into the performance and efficiency of each parameter.
