For a given fractional change of speed, if the displacement of the sleeve is high, then the governor is said to be Correct Answer Sensitive
- Consider two governors A and B running at the same speed
- When this speed increases or decreases by a certain amount, the lift of the sleeve of governor A is greater than the lift of the sleeve of governor B
- It is then said that the governor A is more sensitive than the governor B
- In general, the greater the lift of the sleeve corresponding to a given fractional change in speed, the greater is the sensitiveness of the governor
- The sensitiveness is defined as the ratio of the difference between the maximum and minimum equilibrium speeds to the mean equilibrium speed
- A governor is said to be isochronous when the equilibrium speed is constant (i.e. the range of speed is zero) for all radii of rotation of the balls within the working range, neglecting friction
- The isochronism is the stage of infinite sensitivity
- A governor is said to be hunt if the speed of the engine fluctuates continuously above and below the mean speed
- This is caused by a too sensitive governor which changes the fuel supply by a large amount when a small change in the speed of rotation takes place
- A governor is said to be stable when for every speed within the working range there is a definite configuration i.e. there is only one radius of rotation of the governor balls at which the governor is in equilibrium
- For a stable governor, if the equilibrium speed increases, the radius of governor balls must also increase
