I need to design starter motor based on the the torque required to rotate the flywheel and reciprocating mass in the engine.How to do the calculation .I have already done a part,i feel something more to consider
Torque is a measure of rotational force or the amount of force applied to an object to cause it to rotate around an axis. In engines, torque is important because it is what allows the engine to generate power and propel the vehicle or machine.
The torque required to start an engine can be calculated by multiplying the force applied to the engine by the distance from the center of rotation to the point where the force is applied. This distance is known as the lever arm or moment arm. The unit of torque is usually measured in Newton-meters (Nm) or pound-feet (lb-ft).
The torque required to start an engine can be affected by several factors, including the size and weight of the engine, the type of fuel used, the condition of the engine components, and the amount of friction in the engine.
The torque required to start an engine can be reduced by using a smaller engine or a more efficient engine design, reducing the weight of the engine, using lighter and stronger materials, and reducing friction in the engine by proper lubrication and maintenance.
Yes, the formula for calculating the torque required to start an engine is T = F x r, where T is the torque, F is the force applied, and r is the distance from the center of rotation to the point where the force is applied. However, this formula may vary depending on the specific type and design of the engine.
