Development Of Apparatus For Determination Of Whirling Speed Of Shafts:- Egbunine, Chukwuemeka K

ABSTRACT

 The total cost of producing the apparatus is one hundred and ninetyfour Thousand, two Hundred and Fifty-two Naira, fifty kobo (N194,252:50) only lengths not exceeding 1.0 m. mm -16 mm, with determined theoretically, the apparatus can experimentally determine the critical speeds of shafts of diameters between 3 the results of the critical speeds determined practically with the experiment was very close to the ones Also, as was determined to be between 713-4350 rpm. An apparatus for determining whirling speeds ofshafts was developed in this study using locally sourced standard materials. Results ofthe experiment carried to evaluate its performance shows that the apparatus can only be used to demonstrate whirling of shafts whose critical speeds are
