Flywheels - 1 - Free MCQ Practice Test with solutions, GATE ME

The flywheel reduces the fluctuation of speed during a cycle for constant output load.

The flywheel controls the mean speed of the prime mover.

The flywheel adjusts supply when output is varying.

The flywheel is no influence over cyclic speed fluctuations.

The coefficient of fluctuation of speed remains same with any change in the mean speed of the prime mover.

The maximum fluctuation of energy of a flywheel is directly proportional to coefficient of fluctuation of speed.

For the same fluctuation of energy, the size of the flywheel is reduced at higher mean speed of rotation.

For the same mass of flywheel, the rim type and disc type flywheels are equally preferable

Turning-moment-diagram is graphical representation of turning moment or crank effort for various positions of the crank.

The area of turning -moment-diagram represents the work done.

The variation of energy above and below the mean resisting torque line is called fluctuation of energy.

The coefficient of fluctuation of energy is defined as the ratio of work done per cycle to the maximum fluctuation of energy.
