11. A V-belt drive is required to transmit 16 kW power to a compressor. The

motor speed is 1440 rpm and the speed reduction ratio is 3.6. Design the belt drive. Sketch the details of pulley. (16 marks) Or 12. A truck equipped with a 9.5 kW engine uses a roller chain as final drive to the rear axle. The driving sprocket runs at 900 rpm and the driven sprocket at 400 rpm with a center distance of approximately 600 mm. Select the roller chain.

13. A motor shaft running at 1440 rpm has to transmit 30 KW power to a low speed shaft rotating at 480 rpm. The pinion has 25 teeth. Both pinion and gear are made of C45 steel. Design a suitable spur gear drives. (16 marks) Or 14. Design a pair of helical gears to transmit 30 kW at a speed reduction ratio of 4:1. The input shaft runs at 2000 rpm. Both pinion and gear are l5Ni2crlMo15 under carburized Condition. (16 marks)

15. Design a bevel gear drive to transmit 7.36 kW at 1440 rpm for the following data: Gear ratio = 3, Material for pinion an gear C45 surface hardened (16 marks) Or 16. Design a worm gear drive for the following data: Power to be transmitted : 20 kW, Worm speed: 1440 rpm, Speed reduction: 24: 1. (16 marks)

17. Design a 9 speed gear box for the following data: Minimum speed: 100 rpm, Step ratio: 1.25. The input is from a 4 kW, 1400 rpm motor. Draw the speed diagram and indicate the number of teeth on each gear in a kinematic diagram (16 marks) Or 18. Design a shaft to transmit power from an electric motor to a lathe head stock through a pulley by means of a belt drive. The pulley weighs 200 N and is located at 300 mm from the centre of the bearing. The diameter of the pulley is 200 mm and the maximum power transmitted is 1 kW at 120 r.p.m. The angle of lap of the belt is 180 and coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.3. The shock and fatigue factors for bending and twisting are 1.5 and 2.0 respectively. The allowable shear stress in the shaft may be taken as 35 MPa. (16 marks)

19. Design a journal bearing for a centrifugal pump from the following data: Load on the journal=20000 N, Speed of the journal = 900rpm, Type of oil is SAE10, for which the absolute viscosity at 55C = 0.017kg/m-s, Ambient temperature of oil = 15.5C, Maximum bearing pressure for the pump=1.5N/mm2. Calculate also mass of the lubricating oil required for artificial cooling, If the rise of temperature, if the rise of temperature of oil be limited to 10C heat dissipation coefficient=1232W/m2/C (16 marks) Or

20. A shaft is supported on the bearing A and B 800 mm between the centers. A 20 straight tooth spur gear having 600 mm pitch diameter is located 200 mm to the right of left hand bearing A and a 700 mm diameter pulley is mounted on 250 mm towards the left of bearing B. the gear is driven by a pinion with a downward tangential force. While the pulley is driven by the belt horizontally having 180 angle of warp. The pulley is also serve as a flywheel and weighs 2000 N. the maximum belt tension is 3000 N and the tension ratio is 3:1. Determine the necessary shaft diameter if the allowable shear stress of the material is 40 MPa. (16 marks)
