Rotational Dynamics
Angular displacement:
Angular acceleration: = /t
Rotational Dynamics
Circular disc:
Solid sphere:
Kinetic Energy: EK = I2
I = Mr2/2
I = 2Mr2/5
Rotational Dynamics
In terms of inertia:
T = I
T = Fr
L = Tt
(small torque for long duration = large torque for small
duration)
W = T
P = T
Wd = pV
or Wd = pV
p1V1/T1 = p2V2/T2
At high p, low V: adiabatic = value
expected for isothermal at high T
At low p, high V: adiabatic cuts
isothermal at low T
Equation for adiabatic line:
pV = k
= Cp/Cv
k = constant
Adiabatic compression
Isobaric:
V1T1 = V2T2
Adiabatic compression
Thermal Efficiency:
Diesel Engine:
- Higher thermal efficiency that petrol engines
- Heavier than petrol engines
- More noise and incomplete combustion (pollution)
Both Engines:
power output: area of p-V loop x n o cylinders x no cycles per
sec
