Ashaft fitted with a flywheel rotates at 300 rpm. and drives a machine. The torque
required to drive the machine varies in a cyclic manner over a period of 2 revolutions. The torque drops
from 20,000 Nm to 10,000 Nm uniformly during 90 degrees and remains constant for the following 180
degrees. It then rises uniformly to 35,000 Nm during the next 225 degrees and after that it drops to
20,000 in a uniform manner for 225 degrees, the cycle being repeated thereafter.
Determine the power required to drive the machine and percentage fluctuation in speed, if the driving
torque applied to the shaft is constant and the mass of the flywheel is 12 tonnes with radius of gyration of
500 mm. What is the maximum angular acceleration of the flywheel.

- You are working as an engineer in a bearing systems design company. The flow of lubricant inside a hydrodynamic bearing (p = 0.001 kg m-1 s-1) can be approximated as a parallel, steady, two-dimensional, incompressible flow between two parallel plates. The top plate, representing the moving part of the bearing, travels at a constant speed, U, while the bottom plate remains stationary (Figure Q1). The plates are separated by a distance of 2h = 1 cm and are W = 20 cm wide. Their length is L = 10 cm.
