Optimization of Flywheel Design for 5hp Lubricated Air Compressor

Abstract

Flywheel is a mechanical component which stores rotational energy and release that energy when machine need.
A heavy rim or disk type flywheel used for avoiding the fluctuation due to rotating velocity. It is also useful to maintain
revolution per minute. A flywheel is a spinning wheel or disc with a fixed axle so that rotation is only about one axis. Cast iron
is suitable material for flywheel because of no need of accurate properties in flywheel.There are two types of flywheel one is
Rimmed/Arm type and second is Disk type. In proposed design, consider disk type flywheel.For basic industial purpose
selecting 5hp motor for proposed design.Revolution of motor is considered as 700rpm.Seimens motor consider for designing of
flywheel.
