Abstract

The thesis will provide a foundation for creating a design analysis procedure for inertia governor systems. Due to the variety of dependent variables, inertia governors are generally designed and modified through previous design experience and laboratory tests. This type of engineering practice is dependent on trial and error methods when speed control problems are encountered. An analytical method is not generally a source of precise answers; however, proposed design modifications can be compared quickly through computer programming. As a result, mathematical techniques can provide a useful way to correlate design strategies prior to laboratory confirmation.
