The piston of a 60° twin V-engine has strokes of 126 mm. The connecting rodsdriving a common crank has a length of 202 mm. The mass of the reciprocatingparts per cylinder is 1.2 kg and the speed of the crank shaft is 2000 rpm. Determinethe magnitude of the primary and secondary forces.
The arms of a Porter governor are equal in length and pivot on the axis of rotation. The mass of each ball is 10 kg and the mass of the central load is 25 kg. The ball rotates at radius 210 mm when the governor is at its lowest setting and 260 mm when it is at its maximum setting. At maximum speed, the vertical distance from the center of the sleeve to the pivot was 500 mm. For another case, it can be seen that the height of the governor will reduce to half values when the ball masses are replaced by three-time larger from the first case. The friction force for both cases is 10 N. Find arms length LDetermine the range of speed in first casewhat will be the final range of speedAs a result of extracting the speed range values in both cases, what did you conclude?
The reciprocating masses of the first three cylinders of a four cylinder engine are 4.1, 6.2 and 7.4 tonnes respectively. The centre lines of the three cylinders are 5.2 m, 3.2 m and 1.2 m from the fourth cylinder. If the cranks for all the cylinders are equal, determine the reciprocating mass of the fourth cylinder and the angular position of the cranks such that the system is completely balanced for the primary force and couple. If the cranks are 0.8 m long, the connecting rods 3.8 m, and the speed of the engine 75 r.p.m. ; find the maximum unbalanced secondary force and the crank angle at which it occurs. solve graphically
