The drive is by V-belts from an electric motor running at 1500 r.p.m. A compressor, requiring 75000W is to run at about 500 r.p.m. The diameter of the pulley on the compressor shaft must not be greater than 1.2 meter while the centre distance between the pulleys is limited to 1.85 meter. The belt speed should not exceed 1500 m/min. Determine the number of V-belts required to transmit the power if each belt has a cross-sectional area of 3 cm2, density 1100 kg/m3 and an allowable tensile stress of 3 MPa. The groove angle of the pulley is 50°. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.3. Calculate also the length required of each belt.
In your own words, explain why the internal combustion engine made by Etienne Lenoir is the most significant event or invention made that contributed greatly to the development of traffic and transportation?
Water is pumped from a lower chamber to a higher chamber by a pump driven by a 55 kW electric motor with an efficiency of 85%. The free surface of the upper chamber (open surface to the atmosphere) is 75 m higher than the free surface of the chamber below. The free surface velocities are negligible. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is given as 9.81 m/s^2. Since the mass flow rate of the water is 50 kg/s, calculate the mechanical power loss in kW during the upward transfer of the water. 1.665 9.96 18.21 3.21 12,45 5.70

You only know one point on a pump curve, where a water pump produces 20 m of hydraulic head at flow rate of 3.67 L/s, and you want to use this to pump water from a lower tank to an upper tank located 15 m higher. Both tanks are open to the atmosphere. Briefly explain your reasoning, in 1‐2 sentences, for each of the following. a) Should this pump be placed next to the lower tank or the higher one? b) Given the data point you have from the pump curve, will the flow rate be higher or lower than 3.67 L/s if the water is pumped exactly 15 m uphill?
