Total Tractive Effort Required for Propulsion of Train Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Train Tractive Effort = Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort+Gravity Overcome Tractive Effort+Force
F_train = F_or+F_og+F
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Train Tractive Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Train Tractive Effort is the force exerted by the vehicle to the outer edges of the wheels to accelerate the vehicle and to overcome the friction, windage and curve resistance.
Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort can either refer to the total traction a vehicle exerts on a surface or the amount of the total traction that is parallel to the direction of motion.
Gravity Overcome Tractive Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Gravity Overcome Tractive Effort can either refer to the total traction a vehicle exerts on a surface or the amount of the total traction that is parallel to the direction of motion.
Force - (Measured in Newton) - Force developed by train's engine to move its wheel.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort: 8050 Newton --> 8050 Newton No Conversion Required
Gravity Overcome Tractive Effort: 123 Newton --> 123 Newton No Conversion Required
Force: 2.5 Newton --> 2.5 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_train = F_or+F_og+F --> 8050+123+2.5

Evaluating ... ...

F_train = 8175.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8175.5 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8175.5 Newton <-- Train Tractive Effort

Tractive Effort Required to Overcome Effect of Gravity

Go Gravity Tractive Effort = 1000*Weight of Train*[g]*sin(Angle D)

Tractive Effort at Wheel

Go Wheel Tractive Effort = (Pinion Edge Tractive Effort*Diameter of Pinion 2)/Diameter of Wheel

Tractive Effort Required to Overcome Train Resistance

Go Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort = Specific Resistance Train*Weight of Train

Tractive Effort at Edge of Pinion

Go Pinion Edge Tractive Effort = (2*Engine Torque)/Diameter of Pinion 1

< Traction Physics Calculators

Tractive Effort during Acceleration

Go Acceleration Tractive Effort = (277.8*Accelerating Weight of Train*Acceleration of Train)+(Weight of Train*Specific Resistance Train)

Total Tractive Effort Required for Propulsion of Train

Go Train Tractive Effort = Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort+Gravity Overcome Tractive Effort+Force

Tractive Effort at Wheel

Go Wheel Tractive Effort = (Pinion Edge Tractive Effort*Diameter of Pinion 2)/Diameter of Wheel

Tractive Effort at Edge of Pinion

Go Pinion Edge Tractive Effort = (2*Engine Torque)/Diameter of Pinion 1
