The moment of inertia of V-shaped internal combustion engines

Abstract

This work contains a solution to the problem of developing a mathematical model and the results of numerical simulation of the change in the inertia of the moving mass V-shaped piston internal combustion engines (ICE) reduced to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft depending on the angle of rotation of the crankshaft during one revolution. The solution of this problem is an important step in the mathematical description of the dependence of the torque developed by the V-shaped piston ICE, depending on the angle of rotation of the crankshaft. Knowing the dependence of the torque developed by the V-shaped piston ICE, depending on the angle of rotation of the crankshaft, is a prerequisite for designing and optimizing the design of non-linearly loaded processing equipment using V-shaped piston ICEs as the drive. The results of mathematical modeling show that the moment of inertia of the moving masses of the V-shaped piston ICE reduced to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft is constantly changing during one revolution of the crankshaft. The greatest change in the moment of inertia of the moving masses reduced to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft takes place in 2- and 4-cylinder V-shaped piston internal combustion engines.
