INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KHARAGPUR End-Autumn Semester 2018-19 Date of Examination: 20.11.2018 Session (AN): Duration: 3hrs_Full Marks: 100 Subject No. : MI30013_ __ Subject: MINING MACHINERY Department/Center/School: Mining Engineering Department Specific charts, graph paper, log book elc., required Special Instruction: Group A and Group B should be answered in separate answer books. Group: Marks-50 (Answer QUESTION NO. 1 and ANY TWO from the rest) 1, (a) An open belt running over two pulley 240 mm and 600 mm diameter connects two parallel shafts 3 m apart and transmits 4 kW from the smaller pulley that rotates at 300 rpm. Co-efficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.3 and the safe working tension is 10N per mm width, Determine (i) minimum width of the belt (i) initial tension and (ii) length of belt required. (10) (b) A pair of gears, having 40 and 20 teeth respectively, are rotating in mesh, the speed of smaller being 2000 rpm. Determine the velccity of sliding between the gear teeth at the point of engagement, at the pitch point, and at the pcint of disengagement. If the smaller gear is the driver, assume that the gear teeth are 20° involute form, addendum length is Smm and the module is Smm. (29) 2. (a) Explain with sketches a disc clutch and an Oldham coupling and explain their principle of ‘operations. (08) (b) Determine the minimum number of teeth required on a pinion, in order to avoid interference when geared with (i) a wheel to give 2 gear ratio of 3:1 and (ii) an equal wheel. The pressure angle is 20? and a standard addendum of 1 module for the wheel may be assumed. (07) 3. (a)_In an epicyclic gear of the ‘Sun and Planet’ type shown in fig shown below, the pitch circle diameter of the internally toothed rings is to be 224 mm and the module 4mm. When the ring D is stationary, the spider A, which carries three planet wheel C of equal size, is to make one revolution in the same sense as the sunwheel 8 for every five revolutions of the driving spindle carrying the sunwheel B. Determine suitable numbers of teeth for all the wheels. (08)(b)_ Ina single block brake how do you differentiate between self-energizing type and self-locking type brake. Mention few important material properties for a block brake. (443) 4, (a) Amultiple disk clutch, steel on bronze, isto transmit 4kW AT 75Orev/min. The inner radius is 40mm and the outer radius of contact Is 70mm, The clutch operates in oil with an expected coefficient of friction 0.10(oil is used to give smoother engagement, better dissipation of heat, even though the capacity is reduced.) The average allowable pressure is 350Kn/m? maximum. (Low design pressure are used to provide for sufficient size to give good heat dissipation capacity. How many total disc clutch, steel and bronze are required? (07) (b) The simple band brake, as shown in Fig-2, is applied to a shaft carrying a flywheel of mass 400 kg. The radius of gyration of the flywheel is 450 mm and runs at 300 .p.m. If the coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the brake drum diameter is 240 mm find: (i) the torque applied due to a hand load of 100N (ii) the number of turns of the wheel before itis brought to rest, and (ii) the time required to bring it to rest, from the moment of the application of the brake. (08) [+120-r4¢—-200 All dimensions in mm. Fig2 5. (a) An endless rope haulage system is required to deal with peak output of one of 180 t/h, on a track 1200 m long at a gradient of 1 in 20 against the loads. The waggons have a capacity of 2 teach and empty mass 1 t. The rope speed is 0.65 m/s, the coefficient of grip is 0.065 and the rope passes three and a half turns round of the surge wheel. Calculate the size of flattened strand rope required. Assume rope mass/m-length k = 0.41d” kg and rope strength S = Kd? KN. ‘d’ being rope diameter in cm, (08) (b) Find the maximum size of train which can be started up a gradient of 1 in 100 at an acceleration of 0.045 m/s? by a locomotive of mass 10 t if the coefficient of adhesion is 0.2 and the friction resistance coefficient is 0.01.
