TURNING MOMENT DIAGRAM:

Turning

representation of turning

for various positions of
crank, it is plotted on
Cartesian co-ordinates, in
which the turning moment
is taken as ordinate and
crank angle abscissa.

Its assumed that the work done by the


turning moment per revolution is equal
to the resisting torque, therefore the
area of the rectangle is proportional to
the work done against the the mean
resisting torque

When the turning moment is positive that is when the


engine torque is more than the mean resisting torque
as shown between points B,C,D,E the crankshaft
acceleration and the work is done by the steam.
When the turning moment negative that is when the
engine torque is less than the mean resisting torque
as shown between points C and D the crank shaft
retards and the work is done on the steam.
The accelerating torque on the rotating parts of the
engine.=T-Tmean, T-torque on the crankshaft at any
instant, Tmean Mean Resisting torque.

In four stoke IC engine ,there
is one working stroke after the
crank has turned through two
revolutions i.e 720o
Whenever

Therefore
during

Turning Moment (Or Crank Effort)


Diagram (TMD)

Turning moment diagram is a graphical


representation of turning moment or
torque (along Y-axis) versus crank angle
(X-axis) for various positions of crank.
Uses of TMD
1. The area under the TMD gives the
work done per cycle.
2. The work done per cycle when divided
by the crank angle per cycle gives the
mean torque Tm.

Uses of TMD
3. The mean torque Tm multiplied by the
angular velocity of the crank gives the
power consumed by the machine or
developed by an engine.
4. The area of the TMD above the mean
torque line represents the excess energy
that may be stored by the flywheel,
which helps to design the dimensions &
mass of the flywheel.

MULTICYLINDER ENGINE
The resultant turning
moment diagram is
sum of the turning
moment diagram for
three cylinders.
First cylinder is high
pressure,
second
is
intermediate and third
is low pressure cylinder.
The cranks are usually
placed at an angle of
120

Fluctuation of Energy

Definition
It may be determined by the turning
moment diagram for one complete cycle
of operation

The difference between the maximum and


the minimum energies is known as
maximum fluctuation of energy

The mean resisting torque line AF cuts the turning moment


diagram at points B,C,D and E when the cranks moves from a to p
the work done by the engine is equal to area of aBp, whereas
energy required is represented by the area aABp. the amount of
energy is taken from the flywheel and hence the speed of the
flywheel decrease.
Now the cranks move from p to q. The work done by the engine is
equal to the area pBbCq. Therefore the engine has done more work
than the requirement. The excess work equal to BbC is stored in
the flywheel and the the speed of the flywheel increased. while the
crank moves from p to q.

E = (E+a1) (E+a1-a2+a3-a4) = a2-a3+a4

Let the energy in the flywheel at A =E


Energy at B = E+a1
Energy at C =E+a1-a2
Energy at D=E+a1-a2+a3
Energy at E= E+ a1-a2+a3-a4
Energy at F= E+ a1-a2+a3-a4+a5
Energy at G= E+a1-a2+a3-a4+a5-a6

Maximum energy in flywheel= E+a1


Minimum energy in flywheel= E+ a1a2+a3-a4
Maximum fluctuation energy =
Maximum energy - Minimum energy
=( E+a1)-( E+ a1-a2+a3-a4)
=a2+a3-a4

Coefficient of Fluctuation of Energy


Definition
It may be defined as the ratio of the maximum fluctuation of energy
to the work done per cycle.

CE = Maximum fluctuation of energy

work done per cycle


The work done per cycle may be obtained by using two
relations

Work done per cycle = Tmean *

Tmean = P*60 = P

Work done per cycle = P*60

FLYWHEEL
Flywheel is a device used to store
energy when available in excess &
release the same when there is a
shortage.
Flywheels are used in IC engines, Pumps,
Compressors & in machines performing
intermittent
operations
such
as
punching, shearing, riveting, etc.
A Flywheel may be of Disk type or Rim
Type
Flywheels help in smoothening out

DISK TYPE FLYWHEEL

DISK TYPE FLYWHEEL

RIM TYPE FLYWHEEL

Section X-X

Comparision between Disk Type & Rim Type Flywheel :


Flywheels posess inertia due to its heavy mass.
Mass moment of inertia of a flywheel is given by
I = mk 2 , where m=Mass of the flywheel.
k=Radius of gyration of the flywheel.
D
For rim type, k= where D=Mean diameter of the flyheel

D
For Disk type, k=
where D=Outer diameter of the flywheel

Hence I=m Rim
and I=m Disk

Hence for a given diameter & inertia, the mass of the
rim type flywheel is half the mass of a disk type flywheel

Important Definitions

It is the difference between the maximum & minimum speeds

Problem 2
A single cylinder internal combustion
engine working on 4-stroke cycle
develops 75 KW at 360 rpm. The
fluctuation of energy can be assumed
to be 0.9 times the energy developed
per cycle. If the fluctuation of speed is
not to exceed 1% and the maximum
centrifugal stress in the flywheel is to
be 5.5 MN/m2, estimate the diameter
and the cross sectional area of the rim.
The material of the rim has a density
7.2 Mg/m3.

Data :
Power P=75 KW=75 103 W, Mean speed n=360 rpm
Fluctuation of energy e =0.9 W.D/cycle

Also given e =0.9W.D / cycle = 22500 N - m

Flywheel in Punching Press


What is Flywheel ?

Stores energy

Absorbs excess energy during power


stroke
Controls speed variations
Used in punching machines, shearing
machines,rivetting machines, crushers etc.
Reduces fluctuation of speed when load
on crankshaft is constant and i/p torque
varies during cycle.

FLYWHEEL (Conclusion):Flywheel used in machines serves as a


reservior,which stores energy during the period
when the supply of energy is more than the
requirement , and releases it during the period
when the requirement of energy is more than
the supply
Flywheel controls the speed
variations caused by the fluctuation of the
engine turning moment during each cycle of
operation

Flywheel attached with an engine

COEEFICIENT OF FLUCTUATION OF ENERGY:The difference between the maximum and


minimum speeds during a cycle is called the
maximum fluctuation of speed .the ratio of
maximum fluctuation of speed to mean
speed is called the coefficient of
fluctuation of speed.
N1 and N2 is maximum and minimum
speeds in r.p.m during the cycles
N is mean speed in r.p.m=(N1+N2)/2
Coefficient of fluctuation of speed ,
Cs=(N1-N2)/N=2(N1-N2)/(N1+N2)
The reciprocal of coeeficient of fluctuation of
speed is known as coefficient of stediness
m=1/Cs=N/(N1-N2)

Crank is driven by motor which supplies constant


torque.
Load acts only during rotation of crank from =1
to =2,
Unless a flywheel is used speed of crankshaft will
increase during rotation of crank frm 2 to 2.
While drop in speed of crankshaft is very large
during rotn of crank frm 1 to 2.
Thus flywheel absorbs energy available at one
stage & makes up deficient energy at other stage
to keep fluctuations of speed within limits.

Relation for maximum fluctuation of energy


Let E1 be the energy required for punching a hole
punched,the thickness of the material and the
physical properties of
the material.

Let d1=Diameter of the hole punched,


t1=Thickness of the plate,
u=Ultimate shear stress for the
plate material.
Maximum shear force,
Fs=Area sheared x Ultimate shear stress
= d1 t1 u

Workdone or energy required for punching a hole,


E1=1/2.Fs.t
The energy supplied by the motor to the
crankshaft during actual punching operation,
E2=E1(2-1)/2
Therefore Balance energy required for
punching=E1{1-(2-1)/2}

Thus maximum fluctuation of energy,


E=E1-E2=E{1-(2-1)/2}
The values of 1 and 2 may be determined only
if the crank radius (r) ,
length of connecting rod (l) and the relative of job
with respect to the crankshaft axis are known.
In absence of relevant data ,we assume
(2-1)/2=t/2s=t/4r
t=Thickness of the material
s=Stroke of punch=2r

Let Cs=Max or total fluctuation of speed
