Question

Which of the following is true about the flywheel?

(a) Flywheel regulates speed over a period of time

(b) Flywheel takes care of the quantity of fluid

(c) Flywheel controls \(\frac{dN}{dt}\)

(d) Flywheel regulates the speed by regulating the quantity of charge of the prime mover

This question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

My question is from Flywheel topic in portion Internal Combustion Engines of Automobile Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (c) Flywheel controls \(\frac{dN}{dt}\)

The best I can explain: Flywheel controls the rate of fluctuation of the speed during a cycle. Flywheel controls the speed in one cycle. It does not control the supply of fuel to the engine.
