Date: 25/08/2021 Time: 10:30 AM TO 12:00 PM Total Marks: 30
Instructions: 1. Attempt all questions, 2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary,
3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.
Q-1 (a) Differentiate static balancing and dynamic balancing. (4)
(b) Define: Inertia couple, Turning moment diagram, Coefficient of fluctuation of (4)
energy regarding flywheel and Gyroscopic couple
Q-2 (a) Discuss effects of partial balancing in locomotives in 300 words. (4)
(b) Explain about flywheel in punching presses. (4)
OR
Q-2 (a) Explain in what way the gyroscopic couple affects the motion of an aircraft while (4)
taking a turn.
(b) Explain about ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ balancing of reciprocating masses. (4)
Q-3 (a) The crank and connecting rod of a vertical single cylinder gas engine running at (7)
1800 rpm are 60 mm and 240 mm respectively. The diameter of piston is 80 mm and
the mass of the reciprocating parts is 1.2 kg. At a point during the power stroke
when the piston has moved 20 mm from the top dead center position, the pressure
on the piston is 800 kN/m2. Determine (i) Net force on the piston, (ii) Thrust in the
connecting rod, (iii) Thrust on the sides of cylinder walls, (iv) Engine speed at
which the above values are zero.
(b) A three cylinder single acting engine has its cranks at 1200. The turning moment (7)
diagram for each cycle is a triangle for the power stroke with a maximum torque of
100 N.m at 600 after the dead center of the corresponding crank. There is no torque
on the return stroke. The engine runs at 750 rpm. Determine (i) power developed,
(ii) coefficient of fluctuation of speed if the mass of flywheel is 10 kg and radius of
gyration is 100 mm, (iii) coefficient of fluctuation of energy, (iv) maximum angular
acceleration of flywheel.
OR
Q-3 (a) A shaft has three eccentrics of mass 1 kg each. The central plane of the eccentrics is (7)
50 mm apart. The distances of the centers from the axis of rotation are 20, 30 and 20
mm and their angular positions are 1200 apart. Find the amount of out-of-balance
force and couple at 600 rpm. If the shaft is balanced by adding two masses at a
radius of 70 mm and at a distance of 100 mm from the central plane of the middle
eccentric, find the amount of the masses and their angular positions.
(b) Each wheel of a motorcycle is of 600 mm diameter and has a moment of inertia of (7)
1.2 kg.m2. The total mass of the motorcycle and the rider is 180 kg and the
combined center of mass is 580 mm above the ground level when the motorcycle is
upright. The moment of inertia of the rotating parts of the engine is 0.2 kg.m 2. The
engine speed is 5 times the speed of the wheels and is in the same sense. Determine
the angle of heel necessary when the motorcycle takes a turn of 35 m radius at a
speed of 54 km/hr.
