View Factor Orientation (or View factor or shape factor) plays an important role in radiation heat transfer. View factor is defined as, "fraction of radiation leaving surface 'i' and strike 'j' ". Summation Rule (View Factor) If there is are similar surfaces 'i' and 'j' , then: Blackbody Radiation Exchange Radiation Exchange between Opaque, Diffuse, Gray surfaces in an Enclosure 1. Opaque 2. Surfaces 3. Two surface enclosure Radiation Shield It is used to protect surfaces from radiation act like a reflective surface.

Flywheel
It is defined as, "a machine element which serves as reservoir which stores energy during the period when energy supply is more than the requirement and releases it when energy is less than requirement".
Used in IC, reciprocating (compressors or pumps) engines, presses, etc.
Excess energy is stored in flywheel and release to crankshaft during other strokes in which no energy is developed.
If space is small ↠ use small diameter and solid flywheel.
If space is not limited (like for presses, crushing machine, hammering machine) ↠ use large diameter and hollow flywheel.
Purpose of flywheel is to:
reduce amplitude of speed fluctuation (sinusoidal) for constant power output.
reduce maximum torque required.
energy stored and release when needed during cycle.
Parts of flywheel are
Rim ↠ outer portion of flywheel (which is like a wheel).
Hub ↠ center part which is installed on shaft.
Arms or Needle ↠ rods joining rim to hub.
Parameter that effects rotation of flywheel (centrifugal force) are:
Diameter of flywheel
Mass of flywheel (which can increase energy).
Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed
Difference between maximum and minimum speeds during cycle is called Maximum Fluctuation of Speed.
Max. fluctuation of Speed = ΔN = N1 - N2
Ratio of maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed is called Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed.
Some noteworthy points are:
Coefficient of Speed Fluctuation is a limiting factor in design of flywheel and depends on the nature of machine to which flywheel is employed.
The reciprocal of coefficient of speed of fluctuation is known as Coefficient of Steadiness (m).
The greater the forces applied, the higher the Cs.
Fluctuation of Energy
The fluctuation of energy is determined by turning moment diagram for one complete cycle of rotation. Consider a turning moment diagram for a single cylinder double acting steam engines.
Double acting engine ↠ which gives 2 stroke in each rotation of shaft (power and compression strokes).
To convert sinusoidal wave output into constant output (area under aAFe), we have following steps:
Step # 01
Work done by the engine when crank moves from point a to p. Energy required is equal to area under aABp. Less work is done by engine (by area aAB) than requirement.
Step # 02
Work done by the engine when crank moves from point p to q. Energy required is equal to area under pBbCq. More work is done by engine (by area BbC) than requirement which is stored in flywheel and its speed increases.
Step # 03
Work done by the engine when crank moves from point q to r. Energy required is equal to area under qCcDr. Less work is done by engine (by area CcD) than requirement.
Step # 04
Work done by the engine when crank moves from point r to s. Energy required is equal to area under rDdEs. More work is done by engine (by area rDEs) than requirement which is stored in flywheel and its speed increases.
Step # 05
Work done by the engine when crank moves from point s to e. Energy required is equal to area under SEFe. Less work is done by engine (by area EFe) than requirement.
Fluctuation of Energy
The variations of energy above and below the mean resisting torque line is called Fluctuation of Energy. The areas are BbC, CcD, DdE, aAB, EFe.
Max. Speed of Engine → At q and s, flywheel absorbs energy while the crank moves from p→q and r→s.
Min. Speed of Engine → At p and r, flywheel given out some energy when crank moves from a→p and q→r.
The difference between maximum and minimum energies is known as Maximum Fluctuation of Energy.
Maximum Fluctuation of Energy
Consider turning moment diagram for a multi-cylinder engine.
Coefficient of Fluctuation of Energy
It is the ratio of max.fluctuation of energy to the work done per cycle.
Energy Stored in a Flywheel
Let,
The radius of gyration is equal to mean radius of the rim (R) because thickness of rim is very small as compared to the diameter of rim.
Stresses in Flywheel
Consider a small element of rim. So, volume of small element is given by:
Introduction To Structural OR Concrete Design Beams must have adequate strength against different types of failure which are: Shear more dangerous than Flexural (or Bending) failure because it creates additional tensile stresses. E.g.: Airplane wing (act as cantilever beam ) and made of Nanocomposites, composites, aluminum. Following are the types of failures in Beam: Flexural (or bending) failure Diagonal Tension failure Shear-Tension failure Shear-Compression failure Following are the types of Shear : Longitudinal Shear Transverse Shear Shear Failure Diagonal Tension Failure ↠ Shear failure of reinforced concrete beam (difficult to predict). Only valid for Homogenous beams . When we apply load on beam ↠ Bending as well as Shear stresses are produced. Shear stress have maximum value at Neutral axis N.A. Bending stress have maximum value at Extreme fibers. At maximum bending stress ↠ shear stress = 0 . Assumptions for shear stresses i...
Strain Energy or Resilence It is defined as, " energy absorbed in a body when deformation is done on material " . Depend on Material . Strain Energy Density is defined as, " strain energy per unit volume " . Independent of material . Used to tell which deformation component is greater with direction. If greater in specific direction ↔ crack propagates in that direction. Stress (in Dynamic effect) > Stress (in Static effect) Types of Loading Energy Conservation It states that, " Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can transfer in other forms " . We only deal with mechanical energy. External work = internal energy or strain energy . If this external force is in elastic limit, strain energy restores body back to its original undeformed position. Note: For Castigliano's Theorem ↔ See Energy Method . With the application of force on Car chassis , How it behaves? References: Material from Class Lectures + Book named Engineering Mec...
Gear Generation by Machining Tooth profile is provided by much simpler form cutting tool through hobbing, gear shaping. It involves the following methods: Gear Hobbing Gear Shaping 1. Gear Hobbing It is defined as, " a machining process in which gear teeth are progressively generated by a series of cuts with a helical cutting tool " . Most accurate machining process. Used for gears production because it has excellent surface finish. Continuous Indexing Process ↠ in which both cutting tool and workpiece rotate in constant relationship while hob is being fed into work. Feed Directions The direction of feed during hobbing operation depends upon the type of gear to be cut. Following are the types of feed directions: Axial Feeding ↠ cutting spur and helical gears (Hob axis is parallel to Blank axis). Radial Feeding ↠ for bevel gears (Hob axis is perpendicular to Blank axis). Tangential Feeding ↠ for worm, straight, spiral...
If you use a flywheel with greater mass, will it vibrate more?
ReplyDeleteFrom my knowledge, vibrations increase with the increase in rotating mass.
DeleteGenerally, journal bearings are used for keeping flywheel at its place. For a greater mass flywheel, vibration dampers are used to reduce vibrations.
