Chapter 3 Flywheel Application of slider-crank mechanism can be found in reciprocating (steam) engines in the power plant i.e. internal combustion engines, generators to centrifugal pumps, etc. Output is non-uniform torque from crankshaft; accordingly there will be fluctuation is speed and subsequently in voltage generated in the generator that is objectionable or undesirable. Output torque at shaft is required to be uniform. Other kind of applications can be in punch press. It requires huge amount of power for small time interval. Remaining time of cycle it is ideal. Large motor that can supply huge quantity of energy for a small interval is required. Output power at piston is required to be non-uniform. These can be overcome by using flywheel at the crank- shaft. This will beha e like a reservoir of energy. This will smoothen out the non-uniform output torque from crankshaft. Also it will store energy during the ideal time and redistribute during the deficit period. Turning moment diagrams and fluctuations of the crank shaft speed: A turning moment (crank torque) diagram for a four-stroke internal combustion engine is shown in Figure 1. The complete cycle is of 720º. From the static and inertia force analyses T −θ can be obtained (at interval of 15º or 5º preferably).
