Turning Moment Diagram for a Single Cylinder Double Acting Steam Engine, Schemes and Mind Maps of Theory of Machines

The turning moment diagram for a single cylinder double acting steam engine. It explains the concept of turning moment, where the piston effort (fp) is the driving force, and the work done is the product of the turning moment and the angle turned. The document also discusses the mean resisting torque, and how the engine is assumed to work against it. When the turning moment is positive (engine torque is more than mean resisting torque), the crankshaft accelerates, and work is done by the steam. When the turning moment is negative (engine torque is less than mean resisting torque), the crankshaft retards, and work is done on the steam. The document also covers the turning moment diagram for a 4-stroke cycle internal combustion engine and a multi-cylinder engine, as well as the fluctuation of energy, the determination of maximum fluctuation of energy, the coefficient of fluctuation of energy, the coefficient of fluctuation of speed, and the energy stored in a flywheel.
