of a four stroke single cylinder engine?
A multi-cylinder engine is to run at a speed of 300 rpm.
On drawing the turning moment diagram to a scale of
1 mm = 400 N-m and 1 mm = 2.5º, the areas above and
below the mean torque line in mm2 are: +120, -175 ,
+163, -135, +172, -145 The speed is to be kept within
±1.2 % of the mean speed of the engine. Calculate the
3 necessary moment of inertia of the flywheel. Evaluating and Analysis
Determine the suitable dimensions of a rectangular
flywheel rim if the breadth is twice its thickness. The
density of the cast iron is 7250 + Last two digit of
enroll. Number (i.e. –If Enroll number 91600101011
than density is 7250+ 11= 7261 ) kg/m3 and its hoop
stress is 6 MPa.
 A constant torque 6 KW motor drives a riveting
machine. A flywheel of mass 200kg + Last two digit of
enroll. Number (i.e. –If Enroll number 91600101011
than mass is 200 + 11= 211 kg) and radius of gyration
0.5 m is fitted to the riveting machine. Each riveting
4 operation takes 1 second and requires 9000 N-m of Evaluating and Analysis
energy. If the speed of the flywheel is 420 rpm before
riveting, find (i) the fall in speed of the flywheel after
riveting and (ii) the number of rivets fitted per hour.
