The turning moment curve for an engine is represented by the equation T=

(20000+9500sin2Ɵ-5700cos2Ɵ) N-m, where Ɵ is the angle moved by the crank from
inner dead centre. If the resisting torque is constant, find: 1. Power developed by the
b engine 2. Moments of inertia of flywheel in kg-m2, if the total fluctuation of speed is not 13
exceed 1% of mean speed which is 180rpm and 3. Angular acceleration of the flywheel
when the crank has turned through 45o from the inner dead centre
The equation of the turning moment diagram for the three crank engine is given by:
T(N-m) = 25000-7500sin3Ɵ where Ɵ radians is the crank angle from inner dead centre.
