A twin cylinder V-engine has the cylinders set at an angle of 45°, with both pistons connected to the single crank. The crank radius is 62.5 mm and the connecting rods are 275 mm long. The reciprocating mass per line is 1.5 kg and the total rotating mass is equivalent to 2 kg at the crank radius. A balance mass fitted opposite to the crank, is equivalent to 2.25 kg at a radius of 87.5 mm. Determine for an engine speed of 1800 r.p.m.; the maximum and minimum values of the primary and secondary forces due to the inertia of reciprocating and rotating masses. [Ans. Primary forces : 3240 N (max.) and 1830 N (min.) Secondary forces : 1020 N(max.) and 470 N(min.)]

Balancing 425
Q.7 A twin cylinder V-engine has the cylinders set at
an angle of 45°, with both pistons connected to
the single crank, The crank radius is 62.5 mm
and the connecting rods are 275 mm long. The
reciprocating mass per line is 1.5 kg and the
total rotating mass is equivalent to 2 kg at the
crank radius. A balance mass fitted opposite to
the crank, is equivalent to 2.25 kg at a radius of
87.5 mm. Determine for an engine speed of
1800 r.p.m.; the maximum and minimum values
of the primary and secondary forces due to the
inertia of reciprocating and rotating masses.
[Ans. Primary forces : 3240 N (max.) and
1830 N (min.) Secondary forces : 1020
N(max.) and 470 N(min.)]
