Study and Design of Petrol Engine Flywheel

The document discusses the study and design of a flywheel for a petrol engine. A flywheel stores energy from the power stroke of an engine and releases it during other strokes to keep the crankshaft rotating at a uniform speed. It reduces vibration and provides a mounting surface for the engine. The project aims to study and design a flywheel for a multi-cylinder petrol engine. Calculations are used to draft a 2D drawing, and a parametric 3D model is created in Catia for two materials: cast iron and aluminum alloy.

STUDY AND DESIGN OF PETROL ENGINE FLYWHEEL

ABSTRACT

A flywheel used in machines serves as a reservoir which stores energy during the period when
the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it during the period when the
requirement of energy is more than supply. For example, in I.C. engines, the energy is developed
only in the power stroke which is much more than engine load, and no energy is being developed
during the suction, compression and exhaust strokes in case of four stroke engines. The excess
energy is developed during power stroke is absorbed by the flywheel and releases it’s to the
crank shaft during the other strokes in which no energy is developed, thus rotating the crankshaft
at a uniform speed.

The flywheel is located on one end of the crankshaft and serves two purposes. First, through its
inertia, it reduces vibration by smoothing out the power stroke as each cylinder fires. Second, it
is the mounting surface used to bolt the engine up to its load.

The aim of the project is to study and design a flywheel for a multi cylinder petrol engine
flywheel. A 2D drawing is drafted using the calculations. A parametric model of the flywheel is
designed for two materials Cast Iron and Aluminum Alloy using 3D modeling software Catia.
