    The document defines transmission as the mechanism that transmits power from the engine to the road wheels, which can be a manual or automatic gearbox. It explains that transmissions are necessary to vary the torque ratio based on road conditions and provide different gears to maintain an optimal speed. Transmissions allow vehicles to climb steeper gradients by shifting to lower gears that provide increased torque for propulsion when resistance is higher.

    TRANSMISSION

    Definition

    Transmission means the mechanism which transmit


    the power from engine to the road wheels

    This may be a gear box ( manual transmission ) or an


    automatic transmission.

    Functions of transmission:-
    1 To vary torque ratio between engine and road
    wheels as required
    2 It provides neutral position.
    3 Facility of reverse gear is also provided.
    Necessity of transmission
    Transmission necessity in a vehicle is answered by
    considering

    1 Variation of resistance to the vehicle motion at


    various speeds
    2 Variation of tractive effort of the vehicle available at
    various speeds.

    Total Resistance to the vehicle motion

    3 Resistance due to wind, it is proportional to the


    square of the vehicle speed.
    4 Resistance due to gradient
    3 Miscellaneous resistance – type of road, tyre friction
    etc. this may be taken approximately to remain
    constant with the vehicle speed.

    Transmission necessity-

    Let the vehicle is in the top gear and suppose the


    vehicle is travelling on a gradient which gives total
    resistance curve I. It is observed that OA is the
    stabilizing speed. If the speed at any instant is less
    say OB, the excess of tractive effort will accelerate it
    to speed OA. Similarly if the speed at any instant is
    OC, the excess of resistance will decelerate it to OA.

    Let the vehicle go on next gradient of curve II. It is


    noticed that stabilizing speed has decreased.
    Now consider curve III. At this gradient, nowhere curve 3
    cross curve III. Therefore the vehicle will not be able to
    go at this gradient in the top gear. But if we shift to
    second gear, we get a stabilizing speed OD, Similarly in
    second gear also the vehicle will not be running on
    gradient IV for which we shall have to shift to first gear.
    A Leyland Truck has a gross vehicle weight of
    890.26 N. Engine displacement is 10m3, power 77.3
    KW at governed speed of 2400 rpm and maximum
    torque 345.8 N-m at 1400 rpm. Rear axle ratio is
    6.166:1, Fourth speed reduction ratio is 1.605:1,drive
    line losses amount to 10.7 KW at 2400 rpm and 6.3
    KW at 1400 rpm. Tyre size is .4572 X 1.016
    m( Effective wheel diameter is 0.950 m), frontal
    area of truck 6.95m2. Calculate the grades the vehicle
    can climb in fourth gear in still air conditions
    1. At governed engine speed
    2. At speed of maximum torque in the equation
    A truck weights 100111 N and engine develops 97 bKW at
    2400 rpm. The transmission efficiency is 90% in top gear of
    3.4:1 and 85% in third gear of 8.4:1. The performance of
    vehicle is such that it will just reach the speed of 86.8 km/hr
    at 2400 rpm at wide open throttle when running on the level
    in still air and at the same engine speed in third gear it will
    just climb a gradient of 1 in 14. If total resistance in N is,
     R= KW+KaAV2+Wsinθ
    Calculate K , Ka and hence engine power required for
    climbing a grade of 1 in 40 at 48 km/hr in top gear, how
    much more weight can be added to the vehicle to use the
    engine power fully under the above conditions
    A passenger car travelling at 80.45 km/hr is
    accelerated up a gradient of 1 in 20. The gross vehicle
    weight is 11026.4N. It has a frontal area of 1.858 m2.
    and the air resistance coefficient may be assumed as
    0.0167. The rolling resistance is 221.7N. At the above
    speed, the engine develops 58.88 kW corresponding
    to an engine speed of 4000 RPM. Rear axle ratio is 5 :
    1, transmission efficiency = 95%. Calculate :
    i) The total tractive resistance.
    ii) The tractive effort available at the wheels.
    iii) The acceleration while ascending the above
    gradient.
