Flywheel which minimizes fluctuations of speed within the cycle but it cannot minimize
fluctuations due to load variation. This means flywheel does not exercise any control
over mean speed of the engine. To minimize fluctuations in the mean speed which may
occur due to load variation, governor is used. The governor has no influence over cyclic
speed fluctuations but it controls the mean speed over a long period during which load
on the engine may vary.
The function of governor is to increase the supply of working fluid going to the prime-
mover when the load on the prime-mover increases and to decrease the supply when
the load decreases so as to keep the speed of the prime-mover almost constant at
different loads.
Example: when the load on an engine increases, its speed decreases, therefore it
becomes necessary to increase the supply of working fluid. On the other hand, when
the load on the engine decreases, its speed increases and hence less working fluid
isrequired.
When there is change in load, variation in speed also takes place then governor
operates a regulatory control and adjusts the fuel supply to maintain the mean speed
nearly constant. Therefore, the governor automatically regulates through linkages, the
energy supply to the engine as demanded by variation of load so that the engine speed
is maintained nearly constant.

Problem6.6
In a spring loaded governor of the Hartnell type, the mass of each ball is 5 kg and the lift
of the sleeve is 50 mm. The speed at which the governor begins to float is 240 rpm.,
and at this speed the radius of the ball path is 110 mm. The mean working speed of the
governor is 20 times the range of speed when friction is neglected. If the lengths of ball
and roller arm of the bell crank lever are 120 mm and 100 mm respectively. If the
distance between the centre of pivot of bell crank lever and axis of governor spindle is
140 mm, determine the initial compression of the spring taking into account the obliquity
of arms. If friction is equivalent to a force of 30 N at the sleeve, find the total alteration in
speed before the sleeve begins to move from mid-position.

6.5.Controlling Force
It is the resultant of all the external forces which oppose the centrifugal force. It can be
regarded as single radial inward force acting on the centre of ball. When the ball is in
equilibrium the controlling force is equal, in magnitude, to the centrifugal force acting on
the ball.
When a body rotates in a circular path, there is an inward radial force or centripetal
force acting on it. In case of a governor running at a steady speed, the inward force

Where Φis the angle between the axis of radius of rotation and a line joining a
given point (say A) on the curve to the origin O.
Notes : 1. In case the governor satisfies the condition for stability, the
angleφmust increase with radius of rotation of the governor balls. In other words,

‚ = _ !60" = ________
Using the above relation, the angle φ may be determined for different values of N
and the lines are drawn from the origin These lines enable the equilibrium speed
corresponding to a given radius of rotation to be determined. Alternatively, the
same results may be obtained more simply by setting-off a speed scale along
any arbitrarily chosen ordinate. The controlling force is calculated for one
constant radius of rotation and for different arbitrarily chosen values of speed.
The values thus obtained are set-off along the ordinate that corresponds to the
chosen radius and marked with the appropriate speeds.

6.6.1 Stability
A governor is said to be stable when for every speed within the working range
there is a definite configuration i.e. there is only one radius of rotation of the
governor balls at which the governor is in equilibrium. For a stable governor, if
the equilibrium speed increases, the radius of governor balls must also increase.
If a governor operates between the speed limits N1 and N2, then sensitiveness is
defined as the ratio of the mean speed to the difference between the maximum and
minimum speeds. Thus,

For isochronism, range of speed should be zero i.e. N2 – N1 = 0 or N2 = N1.
Therefore from equations (1) and (2),h1 = h2, which is impossible in case of a
Porter governor. Hence a Porter governor cannot be isochronous.

The following points, for the stability of spring-controlled governors, may be noted
1. For the governor to be stable, the controlling force (FC) must increase as
theradius of rotation (r) increases,
i.e. FC/ r must increase as r increases. Hence the controlling force line AB
whenproduced must intersect the controlling force axis below the origin, as
shown in Fig. 6.6a. The relation between the controlling force (FC) and the radius
of rotation (r) for the stability of spring controlled governors is given by the
following equation
__ = _. .– V … . . (1)
2. The value ofbin equation (i) may be made either zero or positive byincreasing
the initial tension of the spring. If b is zero, the controlling force line CD passes
through the origin and the governor becomesisochronousbecause FC/r will
remain constant for all radii of rotation.
The relation between the controlling force and the radius of rotation, for an
isochronous governor is, therefore,
__ = _. .
__ = _. . + V
6.5.5 Effort and Power of a Governor

When the increase of speed takes place, a downward force P will have to be

A little consideration will show that (M1 – M)gis the downward force which must
be applied in order to prevent the sleeve from rising as the speed increases. It is
the same force which acts on the governor sleeve immediately after the increase
of speed has taken place and before the sleeve begins to move. When the
sleeve takes the new position as shown in Fig. 6.7 (b), this force gradually
diminishes to zero.

We have already discussed that the power of a governor is the product of the
governor effort and the lift of the sleeve.

If the height of the governor at speed N is h and at an increased speed (1 + c) N
is h1, then
