SECTION-B
11. Sketch and explain any two inversions of a double slider crank chain.
12. Derive the condition for transmitting the maximum power in a flat belt drive.
13. Write the classification of Followers with suitable sketch.
14. State the different types of governors. What is the difference between centrifugal and
inertia type governors? Why is the former preferred to the latter?
15. The flywheel of a steam engine has a radius of gyration of 1 m and mass 2500 kg. The
starting torque of the steam engine is 1500 N-m and may be assumed constant.
Determine :
a. Angular acceleration of the flywheel.
b. Kinetic energy of the flywheel after 10 seconds from the start.
SECTION-C
16. Describe the Watt's parallel mechanism for straight line motion and derive the condition
under which the straight line is traced.
17. Describe with sketches one form of torsion dynamometer and explain with detail the
calculations involved in finding the power transmitted.
18. A single cylinder double acting steam engine develops 150 kW at a mean speed of
80 r.p.m. The coefficient of fluctuation of energy is 0.1 and the fluctuation of speed is
? 2% of mean speed. If the mean diameter of the flywheel rim is 2 metre and the hub and
spokes provide 5% of the rotational inertia of the flywheel, find the mass and cross-
sectional area of the flywheel rim. Assume the density of the flywheel material (which is
cast iron) as 7200 kg/m3.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
