SECTION B
2. Design a helical compression spring, which is subjected to a static load of 5 kN and a
fluctuating load of ± 2 kN. The mean diameter of the spring is 100 mm, and the stiffness of
the spring is 50 N/mm. Use a factor of safety of 2. Take y =700 MPa and e=300 MPa.

3. Design a journal bearing, required to resist a radial load of 8 kN. The oil used has a viscosity
of 0.0087 kg/m-s at the operating temperature of 80°C. Shaft speed is 720 rpm. Bearing
diameter clearance may be assumed as 0.00025 mm per mm diameter and ambient
temperature is 30°C. If heat radiating capacity of the bearing is 150 N-m per second per
square meter of projected area of bearing per °C; determine whether artificial cooling is
necessary?
4. Design a belt pulley for transmitting 10 kW at 180 rpm. The velocity of the belt is not to
exceed 10 m/s, and the maximum tension is not to exceed 15 N/mm width. The tension on
the slag side is one half of that on the tight side. Determine all the principle dimensions of the
pulley.
5. A 25 kW motor running at 1200 rpm, drives a compressor at 780 rpm, through a 90° bevel
gearing arrangement. The pinon has 30 teeth. The pressure angle of the teeth is 14.5°. The
face width may be taken as one fourth of the cone distance. Both the pinion and gear are
made of heat treated cast steel, with static strength of 200 MPa. Determine the module, pitch
and face width of the gears.

6. A cone clutch transmits a power of 5 kW at 240 rpm. The smaller radius of the cone is 200
mm and the face width is 50 mm. The cone has a face angle of 15°. Determine the axial force

o
necessary to engage the clutch, if the coefficient of friction at the contact surfaces is 0.25.

Also, determine the maximum pressure on the contact surfaces, assuming uniform wear.
7. A differential band brake has a force of 250 N applied at the end of a lever as shown in figure

p e o m
below. The coefficient of friction between the band and drum is 0.35, and angle of lap is
180°. Determine the maximum torque that the brake can resist for counter-clockwise rotation

.r c
of the drum.
