A compressor, requiring 90 kW is to run at about 250 r.p.m. The drive is by V-belts from an electric motor running at 750 r.p.m. The diameter of the pulley on the compressor shaft must not be greater than 1 meter while the centre distance between the pulleys is limited to 1.75 meter. The belt speed should not exceed 1600 m/mi. Determine the number of V-belts required to transmit the power if each belt has a cross-sectional area of 375 mm² density 1000 kg/m³ and an allowable tensile strese

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
