The turning-moment diagram for an engine consists of two isosceles triangles each with a height equivalent to a torque of 16kNm. The bases of the triangles lie between ? = 0 ? and ? = 180? , and ? = 180? and ? = 360?     Sketch the turning-moment diagram and add the mean torque line. If the engine is to rotate with a mean speed of 130 rpm, calculate the following: the power developed

Question
  • The turning-moment diagram for an engine consists of two isosceles triangles each with a height equivalent to a torque of 16kNm. The bases of the triangles lie between ? = 0 ? and ? = 180? , and ? = 180? and ? = 360?

 

 

  • Sketch the turning-moment diagram and add the mean torque line. If the engine is to rotate with a mean speed of 130 rpm, calculate the following:
  1. the power developed

 

  1. the mass of the flywheel having a radius of gyration 1.1m to restrict the fluctuation of speed to +1.5% of the mean speed. Demonstrate which would be most effective to reduce the fluctuation of speed, a change in diameter of or a change in mass of the flywheel.
