A horizontal steam engine has a stroke of 800 mm and a cylinder diameter of 250 mm. The piston rod diameter is 60 mm, and the length of the connecting rod is 1600 mm. The reciprocating parts have a mass of 160 kg. When the crank has rotated through 60° from top dead centre, the steam pressure on the outside of the piston is 560 kPa and on the inside is 160 kPa. If the crank rotates at 200 rev/min, calculate the: 2.1. Torque on the crankshaft. 2.2. Force on the crankpin. 2.3. Thrust in the connecting rod.

Question
A horizontal steam engine has a stroke of 800 mm and a cylinder diameter of 250 mm.
The piston rod diameter is 60 mm, and the length of the connecting rod is 1600 mm.
The reciprocating parts have a mass of 160 kg. When the crank has rotated through
60° from top dead centre, the steam pressure on the outside of the piston is 560 kPa
and on the inside is 160 kPa. If the crank rotates at 200 rev/min, calculate the:
2.1. Torque on the crankshaft.
2.2. Force on the crankpin.
2.3. Thrust in the connecting rod.
2.4. Thrust on the crosshead guide.
2.5. Radial force in the crankshaft.
2.6. Angular velocity of the connecting rod.
2.7. Angular acceleration of the connecting rod.
