4. Design a screw jack for supporting the machine
parts on the shop floor with a load carrying
capacity of 90 kN and the maximum lifting
height of 500 mm. 15
Unit III
5. (a) Two shafts 900 mm apart are connected
by pulleys having multiple V-grooves. The
system is required to transmit 80 kW.
The driving pulley is running at 1000 rpm
and has an effective diameter of 240 mm
while the driven pulley diameter is
640 mm. Groove angle on the pulley is
40º. The belt to be used can safely
withstand a pull of 20 kN and each has
cross-section area of 395 mm2. Density
of the belt material is 1200 kg/m3. Take
value of coefficient of friction as 0.22.
Calculate the number of belts required
for the drive. 10+5
(b) What is chordal action in chain drive ?
How will you reduce it ?

6. Design a flywheel for a four stroke internal
combustion engine developing 45 kW at
200 rpm with 100 explosions per minute. The
total fluctuation of speed is limited to 0.5% of
the mean on either side. The work done during
the working stroke is 1.4 times the work done
during the cycle. Assume that the flywheel
stores (16/15) times the energy stored by the
rim and the rim section having width 4 times
the depth so that the hoop stress does not
exceed 4.5 N/mm2. The density of the material
is 7200 kg/m3. 15
