Came up with our Group Name I proposed and finalised the name for our group, ensuring it resonated with the project’s theme and objectives. Completed the Minutes as a Scribe As the Scribe, I recorded the minutes for our meetings, capturing key points, decisions, and action items to ensure everyone stayed aligned and informed throughout the project. Research on my Own Topic (Porsche 919 Hybrid LMP1 Power Unit) I conducted research on the Porsche 919 Hybrid LMP1 Power Unit, exploring its advanced technologies and performance features. Narrow down to One Topic for the Group Project (Boeing 737-MAX MCAS System) After evaluating several potential topics, our team had selected the Boeing 737-MAX MCAS System as our group project focus. I provided clear reasoning based on its relevance, complexity, and potential for impactful solutions. Completed the Purpose Statement on the Boeing 737-MAX MCAS System I crafted a purpose statement that clearly outlined our project’s objectives, emphasising the...

Goodwin (2017) states that the 2017 Porsche 919 Hybrid is powered by an upgraded aerodynamic design and a drive system that combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 internal combustion engine with an electric motor. The combination of both electric and chemical energy provides a total output of over 900 horsepower (hp), with approximately 500 hp generated by the engine through direct fuel injection, and more than 400 hp supplied by the energy recovery systems that store energy in lithium-ion batteries and power the electric motor at the front axle. These systems include (1) the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (ERS-K), which recovers nearly 60% of the energy generated during deceleration at the front wheels, and (2) the Heat Energy Recovery System (ERS-H), which generates electrical energy by utilising the heat produced from the exhaust gases (Porsche AG, 2017). This output of over 900 hp, along with regulatory considerations, enables the car to operate efficiently within the 8 megajoules en...

The combination of the electric and the chemical energy provides a total output over 900 horsepower (hp). About 500 hp is from the engine from direct fuel injection, and more than 400 hp is from the energy recovery systems that stores energy in lithium-ion batteries and powers the electric motor at the front axle. It consists of (1) the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (ERS-K), which resists almost 60% of energy generated during the deceleration at the front wheel, and (2) the Heat Energy Recovery System (ERS-H), which generates electric energy by utilising the heat produced from the exhaust gases (Porsche AG, 2017). This output of more than 900 hp, and with the regulatory reasons, results in the car operating adequately under 8 megajoules energy regulations (Brownell, 2017). The...
