PART B (20 Marks)

QUESTION 1

In order for the combustion engine to work efficiently, an ignition system consisting of a crankshaft
and camshaft position sensor must send a good signal to the Engine Computer Unit (ECU). The
position sensors need to be symmetric to ensure the engine works smoothly. Assume both of
position sensors are in the form of r = 3cos 2 .

a) Run the symmetric test for the position sensors at x-axis, y-axis and the pole.
Ans:
f ( ) = f ( − )
3cos 2 ( − ) = 3cos 2 ( )
 symmetric to x-axis

f ( ) = f ( −  )
3cos ( 2 − 2 ) = 3 ( cos 2 cos 2 + sin 2 sin 2 )
= 3cos cos 2
 symmetric to y -axis

f ( ) = f ( +  )
3cos ( 2 − 2 ) = 3 ( cos 2 cos 2 − sin 2 sin 2 )
= 3cos cos 2
 symmetric to the origin
