TUTORIAL 12

Question 1
a) A slider-crank linkage has r = 3 and l = 12, and a piston bore B = 2. The peak gas pressure in the
cylinder occurs at a crank angle of 10˚ and is 1000 pressure units. Calculate the gas force and gas
torque at this position.
b) Repeat the problem using the exact method of calculation of gas torque and compare it to that
obtained. What is the % error?

Question 2
a) A slider-crank linkage has crank m2 = 0.045, crank rG2 = 0.4r, conrod m3 = 0.12, and piston m4 = 0.15.
Determine the approximately equivalent two-mass lumped parameter model for this linkage with
the masses placed at the crank and wrist pins.
b) If the conrod has l = 12.5, IG3 = 0.15 and its CG is located 4.5 units from point A; calculate the sizes of
two dynamically equivalent masses and the location of one if the other is placed at point B.

Question 3
a) A slider-crank linkage has r = 80 mm, l = 318 mm, crank m 2 = 7.88 kg, crank rG2 = 0.4r, conrod m3 =
31.52 kg, conrod rG3 = 0.36l, and piston m4 = 26.27 kg. Crank ω = 1800 rpm. Calculate the inertia force
and inertia torque for a crank position of ωt = 30˚.
b) Exactly balance the crank and recalculate the inertia force.
c) Overbalance the crank with approximately two-thirds of the mass at the wrist pin placed at radius-r
on the crank and recalculate the inertia force.
d) Compare these results to those for the unbalanced crank.
