Difference between Flywheel and Governor

Difference between Flywheel and Governor: In this article we will learn about the difference between Flywheel and Governor. The major difference between Flywheel and Governor is explained as follows.

Flywheel:

Flywheel is a device that used for supplying equal energy at fluctuations to run the engine.
The flywheel works continuously. to store at power stroke and supply to idle stroke.
At the time of transferring the energy /supply of energy, frictional losses do not occur in it.
This device is not useful to every engine like when there is a small amount of output (Low Speed) this is not used.
This is highly used in Stationary engines, Machines like punching etc.

Governor:

Governor is used to control the speed of the engine with the help of fuel supply.
This does not need to work continuously, it is required to supply the fuel as per the demand of the load.
This is required in all engines.
In this operation, frictional losses occur. due to at high rotational speed.
This type of device is mostly used in turbines, engines etc.
