Short Description: The spring0mass system is used to determine the Natural frequency of single mass, single helical spring system, combination of springs –springs in parallel, springs in series, Spring extension and force (spring constant), and Hooke’s law, Frequency of oscillation, spring constant and varying mass, Oscillation damping and coefficient
Short Description: The governors (Porter governor, Proell governor, and Hartnell governor) is utilized to determine the characteristic curves of governors speed against sleeve lift, effects of varying center sleeve mass on the Porter and Proell governors, effect of varying: arm length; spring rate; spring compression; rotating mass on the Hartnell governor.
Short Description: The Static and Dynamic Balancing equipment is utilized to demonstrate the simple static and dynamic balancing of two, three and four rotating masses. To find the moment of each block. Dynamic balancing of rotating mass systems by calculation and vector diagrams (triangle and polygon)
Short Description: The Gyroscope unit is utilized to determine magnitude and direction of Gyroscopic Couple (in relation to precession and rotor spin directions and velocities).
Short Description:
To demonstrate the basic concepts of whirling of shafts & determine the effect of shaft length, shaft diameter, effect of end conditions and eccentric loading on the shaft whirling behaviour.
