How is the camshaft driven by the crankshaft?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Identify how the camshaft is driven by the crankshaft.

Explanation of Solution

In an engine, the opening and closing of the valves are timed and the actuating mechanism for the fuel pumps and injectors are controlled by the camshaft. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft through a belt or chain drive. In a four stroke engine, the speed of the camshaft is half of the crankshaft and for a two stroke engine; the speed is the same for both.

Q Derive (continuity equation)? I want to derive clear mathematics.
motor supplies 200 kW at 6 Hz to flange A of the shaft shown in Figure. Gear B transfers 125 W of power to operating machinery in the factory, and the remaining power in the shaft is mansferred by gear D. Shafts (1) and (2) are solid aluminum (G = 28 GPa) shafts that have the same diameter and an allowable shear stress of t= 40 MPa. Shaft (3) is a solid steel (G = 80 GPa) shaft with an allowable shear stress of t = 55 MPa. Determine: a) the minimum permissible diameter for aluminum shafts (1) and (2) b) the minimum permissible diameter for steel shaft (3). c) the rotation angle of gear D with respect to flange A if the shafts have the minimum permissible diameters as determined in (a) and (b).
