Projeto de um Dinamômetro de Prony

Abstract

Bench dynamometers are the main tool for measuring and validating engines, whether internal combustion or electric, and are therefore of great importance for various sectors of the economy. This work, which develops the project of a bench dynamometer, based on a bibliographical review of the types of dynamometers, involves the choice of a specific model to be developed using automotive disc brakes for the load application, which has as main target meet the BAJA PAMPA project. The expected results of this project consist of the creation of a Prony dynamometer project, using an automotive brake system to apply the necessary braking power. The proposal aims to develop equipment capable of accurately measuring engine force and torque, which is essential for evaluating the performance of the BAJA vehicle. This is expected to be a powerful tool for laboratories, engineering offices, research centers and automotive industries, providing an effective way to evaluate the performance of small and medium-sized engines, in the case of this study, the Honda engine GX 390H2-QX. Key-words: Prony Dynamometer, Automotive Disc Brake and Bench Dynamometer Project.
