Group – B
Marks : 3 x 16 = 48
16. Select a Flat belt from the manufacturers catalog to transmit 8 kW of power at 960 rpm. The speed of the driven pulley is 750 rpm. The approximate center distance is 2.5m. The drive is used for machine tool application.
17. Design a V-belt drive to transmit 20 kW at 700 rpm to an aluminium rolling machine. The speed ratio is 2.5. The maximum distance between the pulleys is 3m. The driving unit is high torque ac motor.
18. Select a Roller chain from the manufacturers catalog to transmit the power of 20kW motor to a reciprocating pump. The pump is to operate 24 Hrs per day continuously at constant load.
The speed of the motor is 600 rpm and that of the pump is 200 rpm. Check the selected chain breaking load for its power transmitting capacity. Also determine the sprocket dimensions.
19. Design a pair of Spur gears to transmit a power of 6kW at 1440 rpm. The gear ratio is kept at 2.5 and the material for pinion is 15Ni2Cr1Mo15 and for the gear it is C45. Check the design for its bending and contact compressive strength only.
20. Select a deep groove Ball bearing to carry a radial load of 300 kgf and an axial load of 220 kgf. The bearing is to run for 8 hrs a day for 3 years at 450 rpm. The bearing is used for applications having continuous and steady load.
Group – C
Marks : 1 x 22 = 22
21. A Shaft is supported on bearings A and B, 900mm apart. The shaft carries a 20O straight tooth spur gear located 250mm to the right of the left end bearing A and a pulley is 200 mm to the left of right end bearing B.
The diameter of the gear and pulley are 250mm and 350mm respectively. The drive for the pulley is vertically downwards and for the gear is at an angle of 60O to the horizontal at right top. The gear rotates in counter clockwise direction as seen from the left side.
The pulley receives power from a motor and the gear supplies power to some external sources. The belt tension ratio is kept at 2.5. The shaft has to transmit the power of 7.5 kW and it rotates at a speed of 650 rpm. Design the shaft by assuming Kb = 2 and Kt = 1.5 and the allowable shear stress is 40 N/mm2.
