The cylinders fire sequentially according to the firing order 1-2-4-3.
i Draw the cyclic variation of the total crankshaft torque for the engine (i.e. total
crankshaft torque vs
) at 3000 rpm. Also indicate the mean value of this torque
on your diagram.

ii. Hence, find the moment of inertia of the flywheel necessary to keep the engine
speed fluctuation within
0.1%
of the mean speed, under a constant resisting
torque.
