Height of Watt Governor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Governor = 895/(Speed in RPM^2)
h = 895/(N^2)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Governor - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Governor is the vertical distance from the axis of rotation to the center of gravity of the governor.
Speed in RPM - Speed in RPM is the rate at which the engine crankshaft rotates, measured in revolutions per minute, controlled by the governor to maintain a stable speed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Speed in RPM: 58.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h = 895/(N^2) --> 895/(58.5^2)

Evaluating ... ...

h = 0.261523851267441

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.261523851267441 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.261523851267441 ≈ 0.261524 Meter <-- Height of Governor

(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 the use of Governor?

Governor is the device used to control the speed in engines. It is observed that when load is applied on the engine, the speed tends to decrease which is known as rpm drop also, to compensate the speed, governor is used in all stationary or mobile engines which run on either single speed or variable speeds.

How to Calculate Height of Watt Governor?

Height of Watt Governor calculator uses Height of Governor = 895/(Speed in RPM^2) to calculate the Height of Governor, Height of Watt Governor formula is defined as the maximum height attained by the governor balls at equilibrium, which is a critical parameter in the design and operation of Watt governors, a type of centrifugal governor used to regulate the speed of steam engines. Height of Governor is denoted by h symbol.

How to calculate Height of Watt Governor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Height of Watt Governor, enter Speed in RPM (N) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Height of Watt Governor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.261524 = 895/(58.5^2).

FAQ

What is Height of Watt Governor?

Height of Watt Governor formula is defined as the maximum height attained by the governor balls at equilibrium, which is a critical parameter in the design and operation of Watt governors, a type of centrifugal governor used to regulate the speed of steam engines and is represented as h = 895/(N^2) or Height of Governor = 895/(Speed in RPM^2). Speed in RPM is the rate at which the engine crankshaft rotates, measured in revolutions per minute, controlled by the governor to maintain a stable speed.
