(or) (b) An open belt drive connects two parallel shafts 1.2 m apart. The driving and the driven shafts rotate at 1350 rpm and 140 rpm respectively and the driven pulley is 400 mm in diameter. The belt is 5 mm thick and 80 mm wide. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley id 0.3 and the maximum tension in the belting is 1.4MN/m2. Determine (i) Diameter of the driven pulley (ii) Maximum power that can be transmitted by the belting (iii) Required initial belt tension. (16) 13. (a) A compressor, requiring 90kW is to run at about 250 rpm. The drive is by V-belts from an electric motor running at 750 rpm. The diameter of the pulley on the compressor shaft must not be greater than1 meter while the centre distance between the pulleys is limited to 1.75 meter. The belt should not exceed 1600 m/min. Determine the number of V-belts required to transmit the power if each belt has a cross-sectional area of 375 mm2, density 1000 kg/m3 and an allowable tensile stress of 2.75 MPa. The groove angle is 35. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.25. Also calculate the length required of each belt.
