1. Design a flat belt drive for the following data: Drive: AC motor, operating speed is 1440 rpm and operates for over 10
hours. The equipment driven is a compressor, which runs at 900 rpm and the required power transmission is 20 kW.

2. A pump is driven by an electric motor through a open type flat belt drive. Determine the

belt specifications for the following data. Motor pulley diameter(dS) = 300 mm, pump pulley diameter(dL) = 600 mm, Coefficient of friction (S) for motor pulley = 0.25 , Coefficient of friction (L) for pump pulley = 0.20, Center distance between the pulleys=1000 mm; Rotational speed of the motor=1440 rpm; Power transmission = 20kW; density of belt material ()= 1000 kg/m3 ; allowable stress for the belt material () = 2 MPa; thickness of the belt = 5mm.
3. Design a V belt drive for the following data: Drive: AC motor, operating speed is 1440 rpm and operates for over
10 hours. The equipment driven is a compressor, which runs at 900 rpm and the required power transmission is 20 kW.

4. A simply supported shaft, diameter 50mm, on bearing supports carries a load of 10kN at its

center. The axial load on the bearings is 3kN. The shaft speed is 1440 rpm. Select a bearing for 1000 hours of operation.
5. Determine the suitable dimensions of a rubber bush for a flexible coupling to connect of a

motor and a pump. The motor is of 50 KW and runs at 300rpm. The shaft diameter is 50mm and the pins are on pitch circle diameter of 140mm. The bearing pressure on the bushes may be taken as 0.5MPa and the allowable shear and bearing stress of the pin materials are 25 MPa and 50 MPa respectively. The allowable shear yield strength of the shaft material may be taken as 60MPa.
6. Design a typical rigid flange coupling for connecting a motor and a centrifugal pump

shafts. The coupling needs to transmit 15 KW at 1000 rpm. The allowable shear stresses of the shaft, key and bolt materials are 60 MPa,50 MPa and 25 MPa respectively. The shear modulus of the shaft material may be taken as 84GPa. The angle of twist of the shaft should be limited to 1 degree in 20 times the shaft diameter. 1
