11. Flywheel hybrid cars will have a much bigger range than battery hybrid cars for 2 reasons. The brake energy transfer process from braking is faster and more efficient in flywheel hybrid cars and flywheel hybrid cars are lighter than battery hybrid cars meaning less fuel consumption in gener...
Flywheels are beneficial because they have a high energy density, meaning they can store a large amount of energy in a small space. They also have a long lifespan and can be charged and discharged repeatedly without losing their storage capacity. Additionally, they have low maintenance costs and...
However, both discs had already transitioned into regime II at 10 rpm, meaning predominantly laminar flow but with separated boundary layers. Approximately around 1000 rpm, the discs continued into regime IV, a region with turbulent flow and separated boundary layers. The system never entered into ...
All engineering materials exhibit some viscoelastic response, meaning they have characteristics of elastic solids and viscous fluids [55]. However, at typical FESS operating temperatures, below 50 °C [56], metals display negligible viscoelastic behavior [57]; therefore, this discussion will focus on...
