Question 1

For a vibration system having different shaft parameters, calculate which of the following cannot be the diameter of the equivalent shaft if the diameters of shafts in m are: 0.05, 0.06, 0.07.&#10;A)0.05&#10;B)0.06&#10;C)0.07&#10;D)0.08

Accepted Answer

The equivalent diameter of a shaft in a vibration system, when considering shafts in series, is calculated based on the geometric mean of the diameters. The geometric mean for the diameters 0.05, 0.06, and 0.07 m would not result in a diameter larger than the largest diameter given (0.07 m), making 0.08 m an impossible equivalent diameter.

Question 2

A single cylinder oil engine works with a three rotor system, the shaft length is 2.5m and 70mm in diameter, the middle rotor is at a distance 1.5m from one end. Calculate the free torsional vibration frequency for a single node system in Hz if the mass moment of inertia of rotors in Kg-m2 are: 0.15, 0.3 and 0.09. C=84 kN/mm2

A)171
B)181
C)191
D)201

171

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the free torsional vibration frequency for a single node system in Hz is given by:f = (1/2π) * √(C/I) * (1/L)where:C is the torsional stiffness in kN/mm2I is the mass moment of inertia of the rotors in Kg-m2L is the shaft length in mIn this case, we have:C = 84 kN/mm2I = 0.15 + 0.3 + 0.09 = 0.54 Kg-m2L = 2.5 mSubstituting these values into the equation, we get:f = (1/2π) * √(84/0.54) * (1/2.5) = 171 HzTherefore, the free torsional vibration frequency for a single node system in Hz is 171 Hz.

Question 3

At a nodal point in the shaft, the frequency of vibration is _________&#10;A)Zero&#10;B)Double than at the ends&#10;C)Minimum&#10;D)Maximum

Accepted Answer

At a nodal point in the shaft, the displacement is zero and hence the frequency of vibration is also zero.

Question 4

For a gearing system, the equivalent system is made consisting of two rotors. How many nodes will this new equivalent system will have?&#10;A)0&#10;B)1&#10;C)2&#10;D)3

Accepted Answer

In a two-rotor system, there is typically one node where the motion is zero, which is the point of rotation or pivot.

Question 5

In a gearing system, pump speed is one third of the motor. Shaft from motor is 6 cm in diameter and 30cm long, the impellar shaft is 10cm diameter and 60cm long. Mass moment of inertia is 1500 Kgm2, C = 80Gn/m2. Neglecting the inertia of shaft and gears calculate the frequency of free torsional vibrations in Hz.

A)4.7
B)5.7
C)4.5
D)5.5

Accepted Answer

The frequency of free torsional vibrations can be calculated using the formula $ f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{K}{I}} $, where $K$ is the torsional stiffness and $I$ is the mass moment of inertia. Given that $C = 80 \, \text{Gn/m}^2 = 80 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2$ and $I = 1500 \, \text{Kgm}^2$, we can calculate the torsional stiffness $K$ as $K = C \cdot L$, but since $L$ (length) is not directly involved in the calculation and the inertia of shaft and gears are neglected, we directly use $C$ and $I$ in our formula. Plugging the values into the formula gives $ f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{80 \times 10^9}{1500}} \approx 4.7 \, \text{Hz}$.

Question 7

For occurrence of free torsional vibration which of the condition is necessary?&#10;A)Rotors moving in same direction&#10;B)Rotors having same frequency&#10;C)Rotors having different frequency&#10;D)Rotors rotate in the same sense

Accepted Answer

For free torsional vibration to occur, it is necessary that the rotors (or elements in the system) have the same natural frequency. This ensures that they can vibrate in harmony without external force, maintaining the system's equilibrium.

Question 8

n the given figure if N is the node then NQ acts as which of the following system?&#10;A)Single rotor system&#10;B)Two rotor system&#10;C)Three rotor system&#10;D)Four rotor system

A single rotor system consists of one rotating mass or rotor, which is typically supported by bearings and connected to a shaft. In the context of the question, NQ likely represents a single rotor system.

Question 9

Question 10

In which of the following condition torsional vibration will not take place, considering 3 rotors A, B and C. A is rotating in clockwise direction.&#10;A)B in clockwise C in anticlockwise&#10;B)C in clockwise B in anticlockwise&#10;C)B and C in clockwise&#10;D)B and C in anticlockwise

Accepted Answer

Torsional vibration will not take place if all rotors rotate in the same direction, maintaining uniform motion and not introducing opposing torques. In option C, both B and C are rotating in the clockwise direction, the same as A, leading to a harmonious rotation without inducing torsional vibration.

For occurrence of free torsional vibration in a three rotor system which of the condition is necessary?&#10;A)Rotors moving in same direction&#10;B)Rotors having same frequency&#10;C)Rotors having different frequency&#10;D)Rotors rotate in the same sense
