TURNING MOMENT DIAGRAM:
Turning
moment
diagram is the graphical
representation of turning
moment or crank effort
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.

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.

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
Section X-X
8
Hence for a given diameter & inertia, the mass of the
rim type flywheel is half the mass of a disk type flywheel
Important Definitions
(a) Maximum fluctuation of speed :
It is the difference between the maximum & minimum speeds
in a cycle. (=n1 n2 )
(b) Coefficient of fluctuation of speed : (C s or K s )
It is the ratio of maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed.
It is often expressed as a % of mean speed.
