  2. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Many practical applications suggest as good practice that the maximum operating speed should not exceed 75% of the critical speed [citation needed]; however, some systems operate above the first critical speed, or supercritically. In such cases, it is important to accelerate the shaft through the first natural frequency quickly so that large ...

  3. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    The critical speed. This was defined as the speed at which the unbalanced reciprocating parts reversed the pull of the locomotive. At higher speeds this motion was damped by throttling oil flow in dashpots. The critical speed varied from 95 RPM for a Baldwin tandem compound to over 310 RPM for a Cole compound Atlantic.

    Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to safely ignore it. Analytically computed values of eigenfrequencies as a function of the shaft's rotation speed. This ...

  5. Diesel engine runaway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine_runaway

    Engines fitted with a decompressor can also be stopped by operating the decompressor, and in a vehicle with a manual transmission it is sometimes possible to stop the engine by engaging a high gear (i.e. 4th, 5th, 6th etc.), with foot brake and parking brake fully applied, and quickly letting out the clutch to slow the engine RPM to a stop ...

  6. Chevrolet 90° V6 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_90°_V6_engine

    Also like the small block V8 engines, the 200 cu in (3.3 L) V6 used 2.45-inch (62.2 mm) main bearings and 2.1-inch (53.3 mm) rod bearing diameters. Being a 90° V6, Chevrolet took steps to eliminate the rough running tendencies of the 200. The crankshaft has each of its connecting rod throws offset by 18 degrees for each pair of rods. This ...

  7. Overspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overspeed

    The consequences of running an engine too fast vary by engine type and model and depend upon several factors, the most important of which are the duration of the overspeed and the speed attained. With some engines, a momentary overspeed can result in greatly reduced engine life or catastrophic failure. [1] The speed of an engine is typically ...

  8. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    Dunkerley's method [1] [2] is used in mechanical engineering to determine the critical speed of a shaft-rotor system. Other methods include the Rayleigh–Ritz method . Whirling of a shaft

  9. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    The aerodynamic speed is low enough, despite the engine running at its 100% rated mechanical speed, to get into the rotating stall region on the map so an engine operating at these Mach numbers needs the appropriate features. The General Electric J93 had variable inlet guide vanes and stators.
