    The document discusses different types of governors used to regulate engine speed, including Watt and Porter governors. It provides examples calculating the vertical height of a Watt governor at different speeds and determining the relation between height and angular speed using methods of force resolution and instantaneous center.

    • The function of a governor is to regulate the mean speed of an

    engine, when there are variations in the load.

    • When load on an engine increase its speed decrease and vice


    versa.
    • The governor automatically controls the supply of the working
    fluid to the engine to keep the mean speed within certain limits.

    • Emergency Governor: In this case the governor acts as an over-


    speed shut off safety device. Steam turbines are provided with
    these device which is called “over-speed trip” .

    Types of
    Governor
    The centrifugal governors are based on the balancing of centrifugal force on the
    rotating balls by an equal and opposite radial force, known as the controlling
    force*.It consists of two balls of equal mass.
    The simplest form of a centrifugal governor is a Watt governor .It is basically a
    conical pendulum with links attached to a sleeve of negligible mass.

    It is assumed that the weight of arms, links and the sleeve are negligible
    as compared to the weight of the balls.
    Example 1. Calculate the vertical height of a Watt governor when it rotates
    at 60 r.p.m. Also find the change in vertical height when its speed
    increases to 61 r.p.m.
    Solution:
    N1 = 60 r.p.m. ; N2 = 61 r.p.m.

    initial height,

    Change in vertical height

    final height,

    Change in vertical height


    The Porter governor is a modification of a Watt’s governor, with central load attached
    to the sleeve. The load moves up and down the central spindle. This additional
    downward force increases the speed of revolution required to enable the balls to rise to
    any predetermined level
    There are several ways of determining the relation between the height of
    the governor (h) and the angular speed of the balls (ω), yet the following
    two methods are important from the subject point of view :

    1. Method of resolution of forces ; and


    2. Instantaneous centre method.
    1-Method of resolution of forces

    Considering the equilibrium of the forces acting at D, we have

    (3)

    Dividing equation (3) by (2)


    or
    Example 3. In an engine governor of the Porter type, the upper and lower arms are
    200mm and 250 mm respectively and pivoted on the axis of rotation. The mass of the
    central load is 15 kg, the mass of each ball is 2 kg and friction of the sleeve together with
    the resistance of the operating gear is equal to a load of 25 N at the sleeve. If the limiting
    inclinations of the upper arms to the vertical are 30° and 40°, find, taking friction into
    account, range of speed of the governor.
