An Otto cycle engine develops 50 kW at 150 rpm with 75 explosions per minute. The change of speed
from the commencement to the end of power stroke must not exceed 0.5% of mean on either side. Find
the mean diameter of the flywheel and a suitable rim cross section having width four times the depth so
that the hoop stress does not exceed 4 MPa. Assume that the flywheel stores 16/15 times the energy
stored by the rim and the work done during power stroke is 1.40 times the work done during the cycle.
Density of rim material is 7200 kg/m3
