Correct Answer - Option 3 : Ratio of maximum fluctuation of energy to the work done per cycle

Explanation:

Coefficient of fluctuation of energy:

It is the ratio of the maximum fluctuations of energy to the work done per cycle.

CE = \(\frac{Δ E}{W_{cycle}}\) 

ΔE =  CE × Wcycle        ....... eq (1)

where CE = permissible limits of the coefficient of fluctuation of energy, Wcycle = Indicated work per revolution = W

The kinetic energy of the rotational body is:

K = \(\frac{1}{2}\)2 

2 = 2K         ....... eq (2)

Change in kinetic energy of the flywheel is:

ΔE = \(\frac{1}{2}I(\omega_1^2-\omega_2^2)=I\left(\frac{\omega_1+\omega_2}{2}\right)(\omega_1-\omega_2)\)

\(\Delta E=I\omega(\omega_1-\omega_2)=I\omega^2\left(\frac{\omega_1-\omega_2}{\omega}\right)=I\omega^2C_S\)

ΔE = ICsω2        ....... eq (3)

where, I = moment of inertia of the flywheel, ω = mean rotational speed, Cs = coefficient of fluctuation of speed.

substitute equation 1 and 2 in equation 3, we get

CE × W = 2K × Cs

K = \(\frac{WC_E}{2C_s}\)
