The Mechanical engineering, is playing a vital role in today's Technology,

It Assist you to done things with ease, so let's learn about difference between flywheel and governor and with use it's helpful to modernize our society.

So keeping these things in mind, Lets learn about the difference between flywheel and governor.

Lets learn brief about the flywheel and governor.

Flywheel:-

Flywheel

Flywheel are used to reducers the fluctuation in a speed with respect to the mean speed that are arising due to fluctuation in energy.

Working of flywheel that does not depends on the change in load to the engine.

Flywheel cannot used to changing the mean speed of engine.

Flywheel runs with respect to the engine speed.

Flywheel stores excessive rotational energy to reduce the fluctuation in speed.

Weight of the flywheel is more so having a large moment of inertia.

Governor:-

Governor

To maintain the mean speed with respect to the particular value given, governor is used.

While changing the load on engine or variation in load of engine, the working of governor is dependent.

Governor runs when the engine is not a run at means speed.

With the help of regulating supply of fuel to the engine governor keep constant mean speed of the engine.

Due to low weight in governor it having less moment of inertia.

Difference between flywheel and governor:-

Difference between flywheel and governor

No.	Flywheel	Governor
1.	Flywheel is used to reduce the fluctuation in speed with respect to mean speed.	Governor is used to maintain the mean speed with respect to given particular value.
2.	Flywheel cannot used to change the mean speed.	Governor cannot used to control the fluctuation in speed.
3.	The flywheel is continue with cycle to cycle.	The operation of governor is not continue its intermittent.
4.	Speed of engine can be controlled in single cycle.	Speed of engine can be controlled over a period of time.
5.	Working of Flywheel does not depend on the change in load.	Working of governor does depend on the change in load or variation in load.
6.	Flywheel does not have any control to supply the fuel to engine.	Governor does have a control to supply the fuel to the engine.
7.	Weight of the flywheel is more compare to governor.	Weight of the governor is light compare to flywheel.
8.	Flywheel runs with respect to engine speed.	Governor runs when engine does not runs at its mean speeds.
9.	Flywheel need not be necessary to use in all engine.	Governor is necessary for all type of engines.
10.	Flywheel having large moment of inertia compare to governor.	Governor having less moment of inertia compare to flywheel.
11.	Flywheel stored the excessive rotational energy to reduce the fluctuation of energy.	Governor keeping constant mean speed of engine by regulating the supply of fuel.
12.	Mathematically, Flywheel control the change in speed(∆N)/change in time(∆t)	Mathematically, Governor control the Change in speed(∆N)
13.	Flywheel used in Punching machines, rolling mills, four stroke engines(some), fabrication machines etc.	Governor used in All type of engines, large steam turbines, gas turbines, hydraulic machines, diesel generator set etc.

Here we concluding the topic of difference between flywheel and governor. If you have any queries about flywheel and governor then feel free to comment below.
