Hi guys!
This is a question related to IC engine characteristics(performance curves, torque-speed curve).
Why is the Starting torque of IC engines small? Also why does it decrease after a maximum?
Secondly,
In one of the lectures, our professor asked us that in a gearbox form where does the extra torque comes from? Like the input torque of a gearbox is T and speed is reduced by 9 times, the output torque is 9T. So from where does the extra 8T come from?
The answer which he gave was that extra torque comes from reaction(reaction torque) provided by foundation, bolted joint.
I didn't understand this answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
