Q.2 Answer the following questions. (Attempt any three) (15)

A) Explain turning moment diagram for 4 stroke single cylinder IC engine with neat sketch.
B) Derive an expression of gyroscopic couple.
C) Differentiate between watt and porter governor.
D) Explain self locking and self energizing brake in case of shoe brake.
Q.3 A) Define coefficient of fluctuation of energy. Derive a relationship: ΔE = 2ECs (07)
B) Derive an expression of torque transmitted for single block brake with diagram. (Consider any two (08)
cases)
OR
B) A Porter governor has equal arms each 250 mm long and pivoted on the axis of rotation. Each ball (08)
has a mass of 5 kg and the mass of the central load on the sleeve is 25 kg. The radius of rotation of
the ball is 150 mm when the governor begins to lift and 200 mm when the governor is at maximum
speed. Find the minimum and maximum speeds and range of speed of the governor.

Q.4 A) Explain stability of two wheeler vehicle. (07)
OR
A) The turbine rotor of a ship is of mass 3500 Kg. It has a radius of gyration of 0.45 meters and (07)
speed of 3000 rpm clockwise when looking from stern. Determine the gyroscopic couple and its
effect upon the ship;
(i) When the ship is steering to the left on a curve of 100 meter radius at a speed of 36 km/hrs.
(ii) When the ship is pitching in a SHM, the bow falling with its maximum velocity. The period of
pitching is 40 seconds and the total angular displacement between the two extreme positions of
pitching is 12 degrees.
B) Explain gyroscopic effect during steering, pitching and rolling of ship. (08)
