PART - A

125 marks
a
Explain briefly the working of Oscillating cylinder engine mechanism.
2 marks

Answer

In an oscillating cylinder engine mechanism, the cylinder is pivoted at a point away from the crankshaft axis. As the crank rotates, the cylinder oscillates about its pivot, eliminating the need for a connecting rod. This simplifies the mechanism by allowing the piston rod to act directly on the crank pin.

b
What will happen to the tangential and radial accelerations when a body is: (i) rotating in a circular path with uniform velocity (ii) moving on a straight path.
3 marks

Answer

(i) For uniform circular motion, the tangential acceleration is zero, while the radial (centripetal) acceleration is constant and directed toward the center. (ii) For motion on a straight path, both tangential and radial accelerations are zero, as there is no change in speed and no curvature to the path.

c
Explain the phenomenon of interference in involute gears.

In a slider-crank mechanism, the length of crank OA is 65 mm, and the length of connecting rod AB is 250 mm. The C.G. of the connecting rod is 6.5 mm from the crank pin, and the crank rotates anti-clockwise with uniform motion of 3000 rpm. Determine the acceleration of the wrist pin B, and the acceleration of the center of gravity of the connecting rod, when the crank makes an angle of 45 with the center line connecting O and B.

In an epicyclic gear train shown in Figure, an annular wheel ‘A’ having 54 teeth meshes with a planet wheel ‘B’ which gears with a sun wheel ‘C’. The wheels ‘A’ and ‘C’ are co-axial. The wheel ‘B’ is carried on a pin fixed on one end of the arm ‘P’ which rotates about the axes of the wheels ‘A’ and ‘C’. If ‘A’ makes 20 rpm clockwise, the arm rotates at 100 rpm ccw, and the wheel ‘C’ has 24 teeth, determine the speed and sense of rotation of the wheel ‘C’.

Draw the displacement, velocity and acceleration diagrams for a knife edge follower moving over a cam with a lift of 5 cm. Assume SHM for the motion of follower during outstroke of 130, followed by dwell period during 40 of cam rotation. Return stroke of the follower occurs with uniform acceleration and retardation, the retardation being 1.5 times the acceleration, during 120 of cam rotation, followed by dwell for the remaining period. If the speed of cam is 180 rpm, calculate the maximum velocity and acceleration of the follower during both the strokes.
