Module 2: Turning Moment Diagram

20267m

The turning moment diagram for a petrol engine is drawn to these scales: turning moment, 1 mm = 5 N·m; crank angle, 1 mm = 1°. The diagram repeats itself at every half revolution of the engine. The areas above and below the mean turning moment line taken in turn are 295, 685, 40, 340, 960, 270 mm². The rotating parts are equivalent to a mass of 36 kg at a radius of gyration of 150 mm. Determine the coefficient of fluctuation of speed when the engine runs at 1800 r.p.m.
