1. Make sure that the following data are complete:

 Type of driving unit
 Type of driven machine
 Power to be transmitted (Hp)
 Input speed (rpm)
 Belt Speed (fpm)
 Belt System
 Service Conditions
 Diameter of Pulleys (in)
 Center Distance of Pulleys (in)
2. To determine the number of V-Belts required,

A 10kW-single phase motor is to be used to power an industrial blower. Given

the data below, design the V-Belt parameter required to transmit the power
efficiently.

Driver pulley = 200mm

Driven pulley = 600mm
Speed of driver pulley = 1440 rpm
Center Distance = 24in
