Q.No.01 A pair of straight teeth spur gears is to transmit 20 KW when the pinion rotates at 300
r.p.m. The velocity ratio is 3: 1. The allowable static stresses for the pinion and gear

Q.No.01 (a) Define the following terms as applied to rolling contact bearings:
(a) Basic static load rating (b) Static equivalent load
(c) Basic dynamic load rating (d) Dynamic equivalent load.
(b) Design a suitable journal bearing for a centrifugal pump from the following available data:
Load on the bearing = 13.5 KN; Diameter of the journal = 80 mm; Speed = 1440 r.p.m.;
Bearing characteristic number at the working temperature (75C) = 30; Permissible
bearing pressure intensity = 0.7 N/mm2 to 1.4 N/mm2; Average atmospheric
temperature = 30C.Calculate the cooling requirements, if any.
Q.No.02 A band brake acts on the th of the circumference of a drum of 450 mm diameter,
which is keyed, to the shaft. The band brake provides a braking torque of 225 N-m. One
end of the band is attached to a fulcrum pin of the lever and the other end to a pin100
mm from the fulcrum. If the operating force is applied at 500 mm from the fulcrum and
the coefficient of friction is 0.25, find the operating force when the drum rotates in the
anticlockwise direction.
If the brake lever and pins are to be made of mild steel having permissible stresses for
tension and crushing as 70 MPa and for shear 56 MPa, design the shaft, key, pins and
lever. The bearing pressure between the pins and the lever may be taken as 8 N/mm2
Q.No.03 Design a rigid flange coupling to transmit a torque of 250 N-m between two coaxial
Shafts. The shaft is made of alloy steel, flanges out of cast iron and bolts out of steel.
Four bolts are used to couple the flanges. The shafts are keyed to the flange hub. The
permissible stresses are given below:
Shear stress on shaft =100 MPa, Bearing or crushing stress on shaft =250 MPa
Shear stress on keys =100 MPa, Bearing stress on keys =250 MPa
Shearing stress on cast iron =200 MPa, Shear stress on bolts =100 MPa
After designing the various elements, make a neat sketch of the assembly indicating the
important dimensions. The stresses developed in the various members may be checked
if thumb rules are used for fixing the dimensions.

m/min and the efficiency of the drive is 80%. Also determine the torque on the drum
shaft and the speed of the motor in r.p.m. Determine also the diameter of the shaft made
