DTS ME 6601 - University Tutorial Problem.

The document contains 6 problems related to designing flat belt drives, crossed belt drives, and V-belt drives to transmit power between electric motors and compressors of varying specifications. The problems involve calculating belt specifications like width and length, pulley diameters and center distances, transmission power ratings, and selecting appropriate belt types based on given design constraints like transmitted power, pulley speeds and diameters, center distances, belt speeds, load factors, and material properties.

1.

Design a flat belt drive to transmit 110kW for a system consisting of two pulleys of
diameters 0.9m and 1.2m for a centre distance of 3.6m, belt speed of 20 m/s and co
efficient friction is 0.3. There is a slip of 1.2% at each pulley and 5% friction loss at each
shaft with 20% overload.

2. A compressor is driven by a 15kW motor, running at 960 rpm, through an open belt
drive. The speed of the compressor pulley is 480 rpm. The centre distance of the drive is
2.5m. Select a flat belt drive. Neglect the effect of slip.

3. A compressor is to run by a motor pulley running at 1440 rpm, speed ratio 2.5. Choose a
flat belt crossed drive. Centre distance between pulley is 3.6m. Take belt speed as
16m/sec. Load factor is 1.3. Take a 5-ply, flat Dunlop belt. Power to be transmitted is 12
kW. High speed load rating is 0.0118 kW/ply/mm width at v =5m/s. Determine the width
and length of the belt.

4. It is required to design a leather crossed belt drive to connect 7.5 kW, 1440 rpm electric
motor to a compressor running at 480 rpm. The distance between the centers of the
pulleys is twice the diameter of the bigger pulley. The belt should operate at 20 m/s
approximately and its thickness is 5mm. Density of leather is 950 kg/m3 and permissible
stress is 5.6 Mpa.

5. A V-belt drive is to transmit 15kW to a compressor. The motor runs at 1150 rpm and the
compressor is to run at 400 rpm. Determine:
(i). Belt specification, (ii). Number of belt, (iii). Correct centre distance, (iv). Drive pulley
diameters.

6. A V-belt drive is to be arranged between two shafts with 1.2 m as centre distance. The
driving pulley is of 250 mm effective diameter and is to be supplied with 20 Kw power at
960 rpm
