5. Use of DDB is permitted.

1. a) Design a bushed-pin type flexible coupling to connect a pump shaft to motor shaft 12
transmitting 30kW at 950 rpm. The overall torque is 20% more than the mean torque. The
material properties are as follows:-
i) The allowable shear and crushing stress for shaft and key material is 40 Mpa and
80 Mpa respectively
ii) The allowable shear stress for C.I is 15Mpa.
iii) The allowable bearing pressure for rubber bush is 0.8 Mpa.
iv) The material of pin is same as that of the shaft and key.

b) A shaft running at 1200 rpm is supported in Deep groove ball bearing carries a radial load 8
of 3.5 kN and thrust load of 1.5 kN. The loading can be assumed as moderate shock load. It
is operated for 40 hrs/week for 3.5 years. The probability of failure is 2% Assuming suitable
data, select suitable size of ball bearing for the shaft diameter of 50mm.

OR

2. a) What is the function of flywheel ? Why the flywheel used in moving vehicle engine is 4
lighter than the flywheel used in stationary engine.

b) Design a C.I. Flywheel for 4-stroke I.C. engine developing 40KW at 800 rpm. The 16
fluctuation of speed is limited to 4% of mean speed. The work done during power stroke is
1.3 times, work done during whole cycle. Design also shaft hub, and determine type of
construction for flywheel.

3. Design a V-belt drive, which transmits power of 15kW at 1500 rpm. to a m/c spindle 20
running at 3000 rpm. Design also the shaft and larger pulley. (Including type of
construction) Assume suitable data.

OR

4. Design a helical gear drive, in which pinion running at 900 rpm. transmitter power of 4kW 20
to a gear running at 450rpm. Assume suitable material for gear and pinion. The drive is
subjected to medium shock, working for 24 hr/day. Also design a shaft and gear blank for
larger gear.

5. Design completely roller chain drive to transmit 8kW between two line shafts The driving 20
shaft rotates at 950 rpm and driven shaft rotates at 350 rpm. The drive is supposed to operate
for 24 hours/day.

OR

6. Design a worm gear drive to transmit the power of 18kW with medium shock load. The 20
speed of worm is 1420 rpm and speed of gear is 42 rpm. Assume suitable material for worm
and gear.
(Design of gear blank, not expected)

7. a) Design a suitable wire rope for elevator in a building 160m high to lift a total weight of 16
32kN. The desired speed of elevator is 5.5 m/sec and full speed must be reached in 7.5
second. Also design a drum and sheave.

b) Explain the construction of wire rope. What wire rope of (7X20) designates. 4

OR

8. a) Explain the working of 'single plate clutch' with neat sketch. 8

b) A cone clutch is to be designed to transmit 8kw at 920 rpm. The cone has face angle of 12º. 12
The width of face is half of the mean radius and normal pressure between the contact faces
is not to exceed 0.09 Mpa. Assuming U.W.C. and coeff of friction between contact faces as
0.2, find the main dimensions of the cone clutch. Also find axial force required to engage
the clutch.
