6. The turning moment diagram for a multi-cylinder engine has been drawn to a scale of 1 mm to 500
N-m torque and 1 mm to 6 of crank displacement. The intercepted areas between output torque
curve and mean resistance line taken in order from one end, in sq. mm are 30, + 410, 280, + 320,
330, + 250, 360, + 280, 260 sq. mm, when the engine is running at 800 r.p.m. The engine has a
stroke of 300 mm and the fluctuation of speed is not to exceed 2% of the mean speed. Determine a
suitable diameter and cross-section of the flywheel rim for a limiting value of the safe centrifugal
stress of 7 MPa. The material density may be assumed as 7200 kg/m
3
. The width of the rim is to be
5 times the thickness. (16)

7. (i) A vertical engine running at 1200 r.p.m. with a stroke of 110 mm, has a connecting rod 250 mm

centre and when suspended as a compound pendulum from the gudgeon pin axis makes 21 complete
oscillations in 20 seconds. (i) Calculate the radius of gyration of the connecting rod about an axis
through its mass centre. (ii) When the crank is at 40 from the top dead centre and the piston is
moving downwards, find analytically, the acceleration of the piston and the angular acceleration of
the connecting rod. Hence find the inertia torque exerted on the crankshaft. To make the two-mass
system to be dynamically equivalent to the connecting rod, necessary correction torque has to be
applied and since the engine is vertical, gravity effects are to be considered (10)

dead centre and moving outwards, the difference in steam pressures is 840 kN/m

radius is 30 mm, determine: 1. the force on the crankshaft bearing; and 2. the torque acting on the
frame. (6)

8. The crank and connecting rod of a reciprocating engine are 150 mm and 600 mm respectively. The
crank makes an angle of 60 with the inner dead centre and revolves at a uniform speed of
300 r.p.m. Find, by Kleins or Ritterhauss construction, 1. Velocity and acceleration of the piston,
2. Velocity and acceleration of the mid-point D of the connecting rod, and 3. Angular velocity and
