In a steam engine, one method of obtaining the earlier cut-off with a simple slide valve may be obtained by increasing the angle of advance of the eccentric but reducing the throw of the eccentric and keeping the steam lap and exhaust lap constant. The method will cause withdrawing or throttling of steam.

An Internal combustion engine has a connecting rod of mass 2 kg and the distance between the centre of crank and centre of gudgeon pin is 25 cm. The Center of Gravity lies at a point 10 cm from the gudgeon pin along the line of centres. The radius of gyration of this system about an axis through the Center of Gravity perpendicular to the plane of rotation is 11 cm. Find the mass located at gudgeon pin in Kg.

The Center of Gravity lies at a point 10 cm from the gudgeon pin along the line of centres. The radius of gyration of this system about an axis through the Center of Gravity perpendicular to the plane of rotation is 11 cm. If two masses are used instead of the connecting rod, one at the gudgeon pin and other at the crank pin, if the angular acceleration of the rod is 23 000 rad/s^2, then find the correction couple in N-m.

The crank-pin circle radius of a horizontal engine is 300 mm. The mass of the reciprocating parts is 250 kg. When the crank has travelled 30° from T.D.C., the difference between the driving and the back pressures is 0.45 N/mm^2. The connecting rod length between centres is 1.2 m and the cylinder bore is 0.5 m. If the engine runs at 250 r.p.m. and if the effect of piston rod diameter is neglected, calculate the net load on piston.
