Correct Answer - Option 4 : 0.05

Concepts:

Fluctuation of speed:

  • The difference between the maximum and minimum speeds during the cycle is called maximum fluctuation of speed.
  • The ratio of maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed is known as the coefficient of fluctuation of speed.  


Coefficients of fluctuations of speed when N (rpm) is given:

\({C_s} = \frac{{{N_1}\;-\;{N_2}}}{{{N_{mean}}}}\)

Coefficients of fluctuations of speed when angular velocity (ω) is given:

\({C_s} = \frac{{{\omega _1}\;-\;{\omega _2}}}{{{\omega _{mean}}}}\)

We know that,

\({N_{mean}} = \frac{{{N_1}\;+\;{N_2}}}{2},\;and\)

\({\omega _{mean}} = \frac{{{\omega _1}\;+\;{\omega _2}}}{2}\)

Calculation:

Given:

N1 = 410 rpmN2 = 390 rpm.

\({C_s} = \frac{{{N_1}\; - \;{N_2}}}{{\frac{{{N_1}\; +\; {N_2}}}{2}}}\)

\(C_s= \frac{{410\; - \;390}}{{\frac{{410 \;+ \;390}}{2}}}= \frac{{20}}{{400}} = \;\;0.05\)

Coefficient of steadiness:

The reciprocal of the coefficient of fluctuation of speed is known as the coefficient of steadiness. It is denoted by (m).

\(m = \frac{1}{{{C_s}}}\; = \;\frac{{{N_{mean}}}}{{{N_1} - {N_2}}}\)
