Thermal Important Questions

This document provides details of an assignment for a Dynamics of Machinery course, including 5 essay questions and 5 short answer questions. The essay questions require calculating parameters like speed, effort, power, and mass for various Porter and Hartnell governor setups. The short questions define terms related to governor operation, stability conditions, sensitivity comparisons, and factors that impact stability. Students are asked to show working for essay questions and provide brief responses for short questions. The assignment is due on February 7th, 2020.

1. A Porter governor has all four arms 200 mm long. The upper arms are Ap CO1
pivoted on the axis of rotation and the lower arms are attached to a sleeve at
a distance of 25 mm from the axis. Each ball has a mass of 2 kg and the mass
of the load on the sleeve is 20 kg. If the radius of rotation of the balls at a 2
speed of 250 r.p.m. is 100 mm, find the speed of the governor after the sleeve
has lifted 50 mm. Also determine the effort and power of the governor.
[Ans. 275.6 r.p.m.; 22.4 N ; 1.12 N-m]
2. A Porter governor has arms 250 mm each and four rotating flyballs of mass Ap CO1
0.8 kg each. The sleeve movement is restricted to ± 20 mm from the height
when the mean speed is 100 r.p.m. Calculate the central dead load and
sensitivity of the governor neglecting friction when the flyball exerts a 2
centrifugal force of 9.81 N. Determine also the effort and power of the
governor for 1 percent speed change. [Ans. 11.76 N; 11.12; 0.196 N; 7.7 N-
mm]
3. The upper arms of a Porter governor are pivoted on the axis of rotation and Ap CO1
the lower arms are pivoted to the sleeve at a distance of 30 mm from the axis
of rotation. The length of each arm is 300 mm and the mass of each ball is 6
kg. If the equilibrium speed is 200 r.p.m. when the radius of rotation is 200 2
mm, find the required mass on the sleeve. If the friction is equivalent to a
force of 40 N at the sleeve, find the coefficient of insensitiveness at 200 mm
radius. [Ans. 61.1 kg. ; 6%]
4. In a Hartnell governor, the lengths of ball and sleeve arms of a bell crank 2 Ap CO1
lever are 120 mm and 100 mm respectively. The distance of the fulcrum
of the bell crank lever from the governor axis is 140 mm. Each governor
ball has a mass of 4 kg. The governor runs at a mean speed of 300 r.p.m.
with the ball arms vertical and sleeve arms horizontal. For an increase of
speed of 4 per cent, the sleeve moves 10 mm upwards. Neglecting
friction, find : 1. the minimum equilibrium speed if the total sleeve
movement is limited to 20 mm, 2. the spring stiffness, 3. the sensitiveness
of the governor, and 4. the spring stiffness if the governor is to be
isochronous at 300 r.p.m. [Ans. 285.4 r.p.m., 23.28 N/mm, 8.9% 11.35 N/
mm]
5. In a spring controlled governor, the radial force acting on the balls was Ap CO1
4500 N when the centre of balls was 200 mm from the axis and 7500 N
when at 300 mm. Assuming that the force varies directly as the radius,
find the radius of the ball path when the governor runs at 270 r.p.m. Also 2
find what alteration in spring load is required in order to make the
governor isochronous and the speed at which it would then run. The
mass of each ball is 30 kg. [Ans. 250 mm ; 1500 N ; 301.5 r.p.m.]
Short Type Questions:
E
1 xplain the terms and derive expressions for ‘effort’ and ‘power’ of a Porter 1 U CO1
governor.
C
2 ondition for a stability of governor___________, (if FC is the controlling force, r is 1 R CO1

3 For two governors A and B, the lift of sleeve of governor A is more than that 1 U CO1
of governor B, for a given fractional change in speed. It indicates that
(a) governor A is more sensitive than governor B
(b) governor B is more sensitive than governor A
(c) both governors A and B are equally sensitive
(d) none of the above
4 A spring controlled governor is found unstable. It can be made stable by 1 U CO1
a) increasing the spring stiffness b) decreasing the spring stiffness
c) increasing the ball weight d) decreasing the ball weight
5 Sensitivity of an isochronous governor is _________________________ 1 R CO1
