Question Description
1 a Derive an expression for resultant unbalanced force in a partially balanced single cylinder engine.
b The firing order in a 6 cylinder vertical four stroke in-line engine is 1-4-2-6-3-5. The piston stroke is 100 mm and
the length of each connecting rod is 200 mm. The pitch distances between the cylinder centre lines are 120 mm,
100 mm, 150 mm, 100 mm, and 120 mm respectively. The reciprocating mass per cylinder is I kg and the engine
runs at 3000 r.p.m. Determine the out-of-balance primary and secondary forces and couples on this engine, taking
a plane midway between the cylinder 3 and 4 as the reference plane.

a A six cylinder radial engine has its connecting rods coupled to a single crank. The stroke is 100 mm and the length

0
a Derive the equations for primary and secondary resultant forces of V engine when cylinders are placed at 120

of each connecting rod is 150 mm. The mass of the reciprocating parts per cylinder is 2
kg. Find the maximum primary and secondary forces acting on the frame of the compressor when
running at 3000 r.p.m.
A five cylinder in-line engine running at 750 rpm has successive cranks 144 apart; the distance between the
cylinder centre lines being 375m. Piston stroke is 225 mm and the ratio of the connecting rod to the crank is 4.
Examine the engine for balance of primary and secondary forces and couples. Find the maximum values of these
and the position of the central crank, at which, these maximum values occur. The reciprocating mass for each
Cylinder is 15 kg

apart
A 90 V engine has 2 cylinders, placed symmetrically. The two connecting rods operate a common crank. The
length of connecting rods is 320mm each and crank radium is 80mm. The reciprocating mass per cylinder is 12kg.
If the engine runs at 600rpm, determine the resultant primary and secondary forces and corresponding position of
the crank.

a With neat sketches, explain the effect of gyroscopic couple on an airplane during roll, pitch and yawing.
b A four wheeled motor car of mass 2500 kg has a wheel base 2.5 m, track width 1.5 m and height of centre of
gravity 500 mm above the ground level and lies at 1 meter from the front axle. Each wheel has an effective
diameter of 0.8 m and a moment of inertia of 1.2 kg-m2. The drive shaft, engine flywheel and transmission are
rotating at 4 times the speed of road wheel, in a clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and is equivalent
to a mass of 75 kg having a radius of gyration of 100 mm. If the car is taking a right turn of 60 m radius at 80
km/h, find the load on each wheel.

a With neat sketches, explain the effect of gyroscopic couple on a ship during pitching, steering and rolling.
b A ship is propelled by a turbine rotor of mass 2000kg and has a speed of 1800 rpm. The rotor has a radius of
gyration of 0,35m and rotates in the clockwise direction, when viewed from the bow. Determine the gyroscopic
couple and its effect when the ship; i) Turns right at a radius of 200m with a speed of 15 knots ii) Pitches with
bow rising, with an angular velocity of 0.08 rad/sec. iii) Rolls at angular velocity of 0.1 rad/sec.

a Explain the following; i) Velocity of precession ii) Gyroscopic couple

b

iii) Axis of spin iv) Plane of precession

v) plane of gyroscopic couple iv) Angular momentum
Each wheel of a motorcycle is 600mm diameter and has a moment of inertia of 1.3 kg.m2. The total mass of
motorcycle and the rider is 180 kg and the combined centre of mass is 580mm above the ground level. When the
motorcycle is upright, the moment of inertia of the rotating part of the engine is 0.2 kg.m2, the engine speed is five
times the speed of the wheel and is in the same sense. Determine the angle of heel necessary, when the motorcycle
takes a turn of 35m radius at a speed of 54 km/hr.
