Explanation of Solution

Given:

Pressure is 83.4 kPa.

Temperature is 25°C.

Wind velocity is 9m/s.

Dimension of the plate is 2.5 m×5 m.

Calculation:

Obtain the dynamic viscosity of air as 1.849×105kg/ms.

Calculate the density of air.

  ρ=PRT=83.4kPa(0.287kPam3/kgK)(298 K)=0.9751kg/m3

The Reynolds number is,

  Re=ρVLμ=(0.9751kg/m3)(9m/s)(5 m)(1.849×105kg/ms)=2.373×106

Thus the flow is turbulent. Hence the friction coefficient is given by,

  Cf=0.074Re0.21742Re=0.074(2.373×106)0.21742(2.373×106)=0.003194

The drag force is,

  FD=CfAρV22=(0.003194)(2.5 m×5 m)(0.9751kg/m3)(9m/s)22=1.58 N

Thus, the drag force is 1.58 N.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The Reynolds number is,

  Re=ρVLμ=(0.9751kg/m3)(9m/s)(2.5 m)(1.849×105kg/ms)=1.187×106

Thus the flow is turbulent. Hence the friction coefficient is given by,

  Cf=0.074Re0.21742Re=0.074(1.187×106)0.21742(1.187×106)=0.003044

The drag force is,

  FD=CfAρV22=(0.003044)(2.5 m×5 m)(0.9751kg/m3)(9m/s)22=1.50 N

Thus, the drag force is 1.50 N.

A gearbox has permanent shaft positions defined by the bearing mounting positions, but the gear ratio can be changed by changing the number of teeth in the pinion and gear. To achieve similar power transmission ability for different gear ratios, a manufacturer chooses to have the same module for two different gearboxes. One of the gaerboxes has a pinion with 22 teeth, a gear with 68 teeth, and a center distance of 225mm. How large is the gear module and which gear ratios are possible for a pinion with 22 or more teeth using the same module?
A gear train has a 50.3 mm circular pitch and a 25 degree pressure angle and meshes with a pinion having 12 teeth  Design this gear train to minimize its volume and the total number of teeth. Obtain the pitch diameters the number of teeth the speed ratio the center distance and the module of this gear train. The gearbox housing has a diameter of 620mm
