A 250-ton train with 10% rotational inertia effect is started with uniform acceleration and reaches a speed of 50 km/h in 25 seconds on a level railroad. Find the specific energy consumption if the journey is to be made according to a simplified trapezoidal speed-time curve. The acceleration is 2 km/h/s, braking retardation is 3 km/h/s, and the distance between two stations is 2.4 km. The efficiency of the motor is 0.9, and the track resistance is 5 kg/tonne.

A 400-tonne electric train has its speed reduced by regenerative braking from 60 to 40 km/h over a distance of 2 km along a downhill gradient of 1.5%. Assuming the specific train resistance is 50 N/t, the rotational inertia effect is 10%, and the conversion efficiency of the system is 75%, calculate the electrical energy returned to the line.

Electric Train Consider the possibility of a new design for an electric train. The engine is driven by the force on a conducting axle due to the vertical component of Earth's magnetic field. To produce the force, current is maintained down one rail, through a conducting wheel, through the axle. through another conducting wheel, and then back to the source via the other rail. (a) What amount of current is needed to provide a modest force of magnitude $10 \mathrm{kN}$ ? Take the vertical component of Earth's field to be $10 \mu \mathrm{T}$ and the length of the axle to be $3.0 \mathrm{~m}$. (b) At what rate would electric energy be lost for each ohm of resistance in the rails? (c) Is such a train totally or just marginally unrealistic?

00:01 So, we have the given data which is accelerating period which is equal to vm upon alpha that's equal to 50 divided by 2 and that's equal to 25 second.
00:21 After the breaking period, let's keep it t1, let's keep it t3 and that's equal to vm divided by beta and that's equal to 50 upon 3 this is equal to 16 .67 second.
00:47 Free running period okay that is t2 and that's equal to t minus of t1 plus t3 okay.
01:07 This is 265 minus of 25 plus 16 .67 and this is equal to 223 .33 seconds okay.
01:25 Tractive effort ft that's equal to 277 .8 we alpha plus 98 wg plus wr and this is equal to 189687 .5 newton okay this is what called the tractive effort.
02:03 Now free running which we got and which we will get now free running is equal to 14 273 .55 newton okay...
