Question

A shaft drives a gear set that is transmitting 8 hp at 2250 rpm. The diameter of the shaft is 1.75 in. Determine the torsional shear stress developed in the shaft.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given dataPower transmitting capacity of the shaft P = 8hpRotation of the shaft N = 2250 rpmDiameter of hte shaft D = 1.75 in = 1.75×25.4 = 44.45 mmTo determine the torsional shear stress developed in the shaft 

 

Step 2

Calculation of torque TPower transmitted by the shaft P = Torque acting on the shaft×Angular velocity of the shaftP= T×2πN60Power P = 8×746P = 5968WN = 2250 rpmT = Torque5968 = T×2π×225060T = 5968×602π×2250T = 25.3289N.mT = 25.32×103 N.mmCalculation of torque ζζ = 16Tπd3T = Torque = 25.32×103N.mmd = Diameter of the shaft = 44.45mmζ = 16Tπd3ζ = 16×25.32×103π44.453ζ = 1.46 Mpa
