The following equation is an approximation of the gas force over 180 degrees of crank angle.
Fsin[(x/2)], or F= F{1+cos[x/(x/2)]}
Using this equation with x=15 and F=1200 lb, calculate and plot the approximate gas torque for r=4 in and x=12 in. What is the total energy delivered by the gas force over the 180 degrees of motion? What is the average power delivered if the crank rotates at a constant speed of 1500 rpm?
