Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed for Flywheel Calculator

Calculate Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed





Formula

The formula to calculate the Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed is:

\[ C_s = 2 \cdot \frac{\omega_1 - \omega_2}{\omega_1 + \omega_2} \]

Where:

Definition

The Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed is the ratio of the maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ C_s = 2 \cdot \frac{24 - 11}{24 + 11} \]

Evaluating:

\[ C_s = 0.742857142857143 \]

The Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed is 0.742857142857143.
