  2. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17530°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60639° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21832°. Clearly, in ...

  3. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Its angular frequency is 360 degrees per second (360°/s), or 2π radians per second (2π rad/s), while the rotational frequency is 60 rpm. Rotational frequency is not to be confused with tangential speed, despite some relation between the two concepts. Imagine a merry-go-round with a constant rate of rotation.

  4. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min −1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines. One revolution per minute is equivalent to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ hertz .

  5. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    Now, if this motor is fed with current of 2 A and assuming that back-EMF is exactly 2 V, it is rotating at 7200 rpm and the mechanical power is 4 W, and the force on rotor is = N or 0.0053 N. The torque on shaft is 0.0053 N⋅m at 2 A because of the assumed radius of the rotor (exactly 1 m).

  6. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    Peak torque is reached at higher rpm and is spread over a wider range of rpm. The specifications of these are known factors and can be designed to. Torque is a function of the length of the stroke, the shorter the stroke, the less available torque at lower rpm, but the piston velocity can be taken to much greater speeds, meaning higher engine rpm.

  7. Dynamometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer

    An 'inertia' dynamometer provides a fixed inertial mass load, calculates the power required to accelerate that fixed and known mass, and uses a computer to record RPM and acceleration rate to calculate torque. The engine is generally tested from somewhat above idle to its maximum RPM and the output is measured and plotted on a graph.

  8. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Both calculate an approximation of the first natural frequency of vibration, which is assumed to be nearly equal to the critical speed of rotation. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is discussed here. For a shaft that is divided into n segments, the first natural frequency for a given beam, in rad/s , can be approximated as:

  9. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    The horizontal axis shows the rotational speed (in rpm) that the crankshaft is turning, and the vertical axis is the torque (in newton-metres) that the engine is capable of providing at that speed. Torque forms part of the basic specification of an engine : the power output of an engine is expressed as its torque multiplied by the angular speed ...
