Define fluctuation of energy and coefficient of fluctuation of energy.

a) Fluctuation of energy -- The difference of maximum and minimum kinetic energy of flywheel is known as Fluctuation of energy

b) Coefficient of fluctuation of energy -- - It is defined as the ratio of the maximum fluctuation of energy to the work done per cycle. It is denoted by ke = (E1 - E2)/work done per cycle

State the effect of centrifugal tension on power transmission.

Effect of centrifugal tension on power transmission:

As the belt passes over the pulley with high velocity, centrifugal force is produced on the belt, which tends to act on the belt. This force tries to move the belt away from the pulley.

This force is given by,

TC = m x V2

There is no effect of centrifugal tension on power transmitted.

Give four advantages of chain drive over belt drive.

Advantages of chain drive over belt drive 

a) No slip takes place in chain drive as in belt drive there is slip.

b) Occupy less space as compare to belt drive.

c) High transmission efficiency.

d) More power transmission than belts drive.

e) Operated at adverse temperature and atmospheric conditions.

f) Higher velocity ratio. g) Used for both long as well as short distances
