What is the relationship between the engine and the transmission?
1 Answers
The relationship between the engine and the transmission is: the engine outputs power to the transmission, which then controls and transfers the power to the vehicle's wheels. The functions of the transmission include: 1. Enabling the vehicle to reverse while the engine's rotation direction remains unchanged; 2. Utilizing neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifts or power output; 3. Altering the gear ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions while keeping the engine operating under favorable conditions. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding gas within a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to perform work.
