Flywheel is used in a reciprocating steam engine to maintain constant angular motion.
View Answer Explanation
Which of the following component of a reciprocating steam engine keeps the speed of the crankshaft constant over a period, when there is variation of load on the engine?
The steam pressure that acts on the exhaust side of the piston is known as _____
An indicator diagram shows _____
In a theoretical or hypothetical indicator diagram the expansion is assumed to be _____
The actual indicator diagram is different from the hypothetical one due to _____
The rounding observed in the actual indicator diagram is due to valve action.
What is diagram factor?
Given that the diagram factor for a particular reciprocating steam engine is 0.70 and the theoretically plotted indicator diagram has an area of 1700 kJ. Determine the area of the actual indicator diagram for the steam engine.
The actual expansion of the steam is not isentropic due to _____
Calculate the diagram factor if the areas of theoretical and actual and theoretical indicator diagrams are 1400 kJ and 1800 kJ respectively.
