Coefficient of fluctuation of speed, Cy = 0.0382 or 3.8% Ans. > Fhe variation of crankshaft torque of a four eyinder petrol engine may be approximately represented by taking the torque as zero for crank angles 0° and 180° and as 260 Nm for crank angles 20° and 45° the intermediate ‘portions of the torque graph being straight lines. The cycle is being repeated in every half revolution. The average speed is 600 rpm. Supposing that the engine drives a machine requiring constant torque, determine the mass of the flywheel of radius of gyration 250 mm, which must be Provided so that the total variation of speed shall be one. percent, [A.U, Nov/Dec 2006 (Set-2)] Given Data: N = 600 rpm; k=250 mm; C5=1%= 0.01 2: © Solution: = 7EN = GO) «69 53 sayy The turning moment diagram for half revolution (ce., for 180°) is shown in Fig.3.11 Supls eneroy Mean torque ting [EI] Deficient energy | = Area of turning moment diagram = Arca of OABG _ [Arca of} {Area of 4 f Area of ~ | OAH HABK KBG ] [210s (2°52) ef (atest aa] 180 2 180
