1-The turning moment diagram for a multicylinder engine has been drawn to a
scale of 1 mm = 4500 N-m vertically and 1 mm = 2.4° horizontally. The intercepted
areas between output torque curve and mean resistance line taken in order from
one end are 342, 230, 245, 303, 115, 232, 227, 164 , when the engine is running
at 150 r.p.m. If the mass of the flywheel is 1000 kg and the total fluctuation of speed
does not exceed 3% of the mean speed, find the minimum value of the radius of
gyration.
2-The turning moment diagram for a multicylinder engine has been drawn to a
scale 1 mm = 600 N-m vertically and 1 mm = 3° horizontally. The intercepted areas
between the output torque curve and the mean resistance line, taken in order from
one end, are as follows: + 52, – 124, + 92, – 140, + 85, – 72 and + 107 , when the
engine is running at a speed of 600 r.p.m. If the total fluctuation of speed is not to
exceed ± 1.5% of the mean, find the necessary mass of the flywheel of radius 0.5 m.
6-The torque exerted on the crank shaft of an engine is given in N.m by the
expression:
T 10500+1620 - 1340
Where θ is the crank angle measured from inner dead center. Assuming the
resisting torque to be constant. Determine:
-the power of the engine at a mean speed of 2000rpm
-the moment of inertia of the flywheel if the speed variation is not to exceed ±0.4%
The angular acceleration of the flywheel when the crank has turned through
from inner dead center.-
7- The torque exerted on the crank shaft of a two stroke engine is given by the
equation:
T (N-m) = 14 500 + 2300 sin 2 − 1900 cos 2
Where is the crank angle displacement from the inner dead center. Assuming the
resisting torque to be constant, determine: 1. The power of the engine when the
speed is 150 r.p.m.; 2. The moment of inertia of the flywheel if the speed variation is
not to exceed ± 0.5% of the mean speed; and 3. The angular acceleration of the
flywheel when the crank has turned through 30° from the inner dead center.
a- Draw the turning moment diagram of a single cylinder double acting steam
engine.
b- Explain the turning moment diagram of a four stroke cycle internal
combustion engine.
c- Explain the terms ‘fluctuation of energy’ and ‘fluctuation of speed’ as applied
to flywheels.
d- What is the function of a flywheel?
e- Prove that the maximum fluctuation of energy,
E=E×2
Where, E = Mean kinetic energy of the flywheel, and
= Coefficient of fluctuation of speed.
