(2 marks) © A car engine has its rated output of 12 kW. The maximum torque developed is 100 N-m, The clutch used is of single plate type having two active surfaces. The axial pressure is not 0 exceed 85 KN/m?, The external diameter of the friction plate is 1.25 times the internal diameter. Determine the dimensions of the friction plate and the axial force exerted by the Springs. Coefficient of friction = 0.3. (10 marks) Question four 8) Describe with a neat sketch the working of a single plate friction clutch. (5 marks) ») A cone clutch is to transmit 7.5 kW at 900 r-p.m. The cone has a face angle of 12°. The Width of the face is half of the mean radius and the normal pressure between the contact faces is not to exceed 0.09 N/mm2. Assuming uniform wear and the coefficient of friction between contact faces as 0.2, find the main dimensions of the clutch and the axial force required to engage the clutch. (10 marks) ©) A leather faced conical clutch has a cone angle of 30°. If the intensity of pressure between the cofitact surfaces is limited to 0.35 Nimm2 and the breadth of the conical surface is not to exceed one-third of the mean radius, find the dimensions of the contact surfaces to transmit 22.5 kW at 2000 p.m. Assume uniform rate of wear and take coefficient of friction as 0.15.
