ME2352-DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS Maximum: 50 marks

PART A (10 X 2 =20) 1. What is crowning of pulley? Or why the face of a pulley is crowned? 2. What are the materials used for v- grooved pulleys? 3. State the law of belting. 4. What is belt rating? 5. In a belt drive, how will you decide the pulley governing design? PART B (2 X 16 + 1 X 8 =40) 6. A flat belt is required to transmit 30 kW from a pulley of 1.5 m effective diameter running at 300 r.p.m. The angle of contact is spread over11/24 of the circumference. The coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley surface is 0.3. Determine, taking centrifugal tension into account, width of the belt required. It is given that the belt thickness is 9.5 mm, density of its material is 1100 kg / m3 and the related permissible working stress is 2.5 MPa. (16) 7. Design a V belt drive to transmit 7.49kW power. Driven pulley diameter = 500 mm with 300 rpm, Driver pulley diameter is 150 mm. (16) 8. How will you select a Flat Belt pulley for power transmission? (8)
