Tutorial 01 Dynamic Force Analysis of Mechanisms - 2

This document contains 6 problems related to calculating dynamic forces in engine components. The problems involve calculating values like turning moment on a crankshaft, thrust on bearings, acceleration of a flywheel, torque on a crankshaft, forces on pistons and connecting rods, and inertia torque/force on a crankshaft, given information about the engine geometry, speed, mass properties, and operating conditions like gas pressure and steam pressure. The goal is to analyze dynamic forces in reciprocating engines using kinematic and force analyses.

Tutorial 01: Dynamic Force Analysis of Engine Components

1. A horizontal gas engine running at 210 rpm has a bore of 220 mm and stroke of 440 mm. The
connecting rod is 924 mm long and the reciprocating parts has a weight of 20 kg. When the crank
has turned through an angle of 30° from the inner dead center, gas pressures on the piston head and
crank side are 500 kN/m2 and 60kN/m2 respectively. Diameter of the piston rod 40 mm. Calculate:
(i) Turning moment on the crank shaft (ii) Thrust on the bearing (iii) acceleration of the
flywheel which has a mass of 8 kg and radius of gyration of 600 mm while the power of the engine
is 22 kW.

2. The effective steam pressure on the piston of a vertical steam engine is 200 kN/m2 when the crank
is 40° from the inner dead centre. The crank length is 300 mm and the connecting rod length is
1200 mm. The diameter of the cylinder is 800 mm. The speed of the engine is 300 rpm with mass
of the reciprocating parts as 250 kg. Find the torque on the crank shaft.

3. The length of crank and connecting rod of a vertical petrol engine, running at 1800 rpm are 60 mm
and 270 mm, respectively. The diameter of the piston is 100 mm and the mass of the reciprocating
parts is 1.2 kg. During the expansion stroke when the crank has turned 20° from the top dead
centre, the gas pressure is 650 kN/m2. Calculate: (i) Net force on the piston (ii) Net force on the
gudgeon pin (iii) Thrust on the cylinder walls (iv) Speed at which the gudgeon pin force will
change the direction.

4. In a vertical double acting steam engine, length of the connecting rod is 4.5 times of the length of
the crank. The weight of the reciprocating parts is 120 kg and the stroke of the piston is 440 mm.
The engine speed is 250 rpm. The net load on the piston due to steam pressure is 25 kN when the
crank has turned through an angle of 120° from the top dead centre. Calculate (i) Thrust on the
connecting rod (i) Pressure on the slide bars (ii) Tangential force on the crank pin (iv) Thrust on
the bearings (v) Turning moment on the crankshaft.

5. A reciprocating engine running at the speed of 600 rpm with 90 mm long crank has a mass of
reciprocating parts 120 kg. Mass and length of the connecting rod are 90 kg and 450 mm,
respectively. Distance of centre of mass from big end is 180 mm and radius of gyration about the
axis through centre of mass is 150 mm. Find the magnitude and direction of the inertia torque on
the crankshaft when the crank has turned 30° from the inner dead centre.

6. The piston diameter of an IC engine is 125 mm and the stroke is 220 mm. The length of the
connecting rod is 4.5 times of length of the crank and has a mass of 50 kg. The mass of the
reciprocating parts is 30 kg. The centre of mass of the connecting rod is 170 mm from the crank
pin centre and the radius of gyration about an axis through the centre of mass is 148 mm. The
engine runs at 320 rpm. Find the magnitude and direction of the inertia force and the
corresponding torque on the crankshaft when the angle turned by the crank is 140° from the inner
dead centre.
