Governor Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power = Mean Effort*Lift of Sleeve
P = P_mean*x_sleeve
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Power - (Measured in Watt) - Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, often used to describe the output of a governor in a mechanical system.
Mean Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Mean Effort is the average effort required to complete a task, reflecting the workload and resource allocation in a system or process.
Lift of Sleeve - (Measured in Meter) - Lift of Sleeve is the vertical movement of the sleeve in a governor, which regulates the throttle valve to control the engine speed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mean Effort: 15 Newton --> 15 Newton No Conversion Required
Lift of Sleeve: 0.012 Meter --> 0.012 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = P_mean*x_sleeve --> 15*0.012

Evaluating ... ...

P = 0.18

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.18 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.18 Watt <-- Power

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Total Downward Force on Sleeve in Wilson-Hartnell Governor

LaTeX Go Force = Mass on Sleeve*Acceleration due to Gravity+(Tension in the auxiliary spring*Distance of Auxiliary Spring from Mid of Lever)/Distance of Main Spring from Mid Point of Lever

Corresponding Radial Force Required at Each Ball for Spring Loaded Governors

LaTeX Go Corresponding Radial Force Required at Each Ball = (Force Required at Sleeve to Overcome Friction*Length of Sleeve Arm of Lever)/(2*Length of Ball Arm of Lever)

Angle between Axis of Radius of Rotation and Line Joining Point on Curve to Origin O

LaTeX Go Angle B/W Axis of Radius of Rotation and Line OA = atan(Controlling Force/Radius of Rotation if Governor is in Mid-Position)

Angle between Axis of Radius of Rotation and Line Joining Point on Curve to Origin

LaTeX Go Angle B/W Axis of Radius of Rotation and Line OA = atan(Mass of Ball*Mean Equilibrium Angular Speed^2)

What is Difference between Governor and Flywheel?

The main difference between the two is that the flywheel is always under operation when the engine is running and the operation is continuous from cycle to cycle, whereas the operation is intermittent in the case of the governor, which means it only operates when the engine does not run at its mean speed.

How to Calculate Governor Power?

Governor Power calculator uses Power = Mean Effort*Lift of Sleeve to calculate the Power, Governor Power formula is defined as the measure of the power required to drive the governor, which is a critical component in a steam engine, responsible for regulating the engine's speed and ensuring efficient operation. Power is denoted by P symbol.

How to calculate Governor Power using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Governor Power, enter Mean Effort (P_mean) & Lift of Sleeve (x_sleeve) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Governor Power calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.18 = 15*0.012.

FAQ

What is Governor Power?

Governor Power formula is defined as the measure of the power required to drive the governor, which is a critical component in a steam engine, responsible for regulating the engine's speed and ensuring efficient operation and is represented as P = P_mean*x_sleeve or Power = Mean Effort*Lift of Sleeve. Mean Effort is the average effort required to complete a task, reflecting the workload and resource allocation in a system or process & Lift of Sleeve is the vertical movement of the sleeve in a governor, which regulates the throttle valve to control the engine speed.

How to calculate Governor Power?

Governor Power formula is defined as the measure of the power required to drive the governor, which is a critical component in a steam engine, responsible for regulating the engine's speed and ensuring efficient operation is calculated using Power = Mean Effort*Lift of Sleeve. To calculate Governor Power, you need Mean Effort (P_mean) & Lift of Sleeve (x_sleeve). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Mean Effort & Lift of Sleeve and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
