The Regenerative Braking Torque Calculator allows users to determine the regenerative braking torque by entering the braking force and the effective disc radius. This is crucial for understanding how much torque is being captured or applied by a regenerative braking system.
Regenerative Braking Torque Formula
The formula to calculate the regenerative braking torque is:
\[ \text{RBT} = F_b \times R_e \]
Where:
- \( \text{RBT} \) = Regenerative Braking Torque (N-m)
- \( F_b \) = Total Braking Force (N)
- \( R_e \) = Effective Disc Radius (m)
Example Calculation
If the braking force is 500 N and the effective disc radius is 0.3 m:
\[ \text{RBT} = 500 \, \text{N} \times 0.3 \, \text{m} = 150 \, \text{N-m} \]
Definition
Regenerative Braking Torque: The torque generated by a regenerative braking system, which captures energy during braking and converts it into usable energy.
How to Calculate
To calculate regenerative braking torque, simply multiply the braking force by the effective disc radius. This value represents the torque that can be recovered and used, typically in electric or hybrid vehicles, for recharging batteries or enhancing vehicle efficiency.
