37. The vertical shaft shown in Figure P12-37 is driven at a
speed of 600 rpm with 4.0 hp entering through the bevel
gear. Each of the two chain sprockets delivers 2.0 hp to
the side to drive mixer blades in a chemical reactor vessel.
The bevel gear has a diametral pitch of 5, a pitch diameter
of 9.000 in, a face width of 1.31 in, and a pressure angle
of 20°. Use SAE 4140 OQT 1000 steel for the shaft. See
Chapter 10 for the methods for computing the forces on
the bevel gear.

sprockets
Each problem includes the following details:
■Design the complete shaft, including the specification of
the overall geometry and the consideration of stress con-
centration factors. The analysis would show the minimum
acceptable diameter at each point on the shaft to be safe
from the standpoint of strength.
Homework Problems 12-24, 12-35, and 12-37 from
textbook, done in spreadsheet form. Place drawings of the
load, shear, and bending moment body diagrams…
35. The double-reduction, helical gear reducer shown in
Figure P12-35 transmits 5.0 hp. Shaft 1 is the input,
rotating at 1800 rpm and receiving power directly from an
electric motor through a flexible coupling. Shaft 2 rotates
at 900 rpm. Shaft 3 is the output, rotating at 300 rpm. A
chain sprocket is mounted on the output shaft as shown
and delivers the power upward. The data for the gears
are given in Table 12-5. Each gear has a 1412° normal
pressure angle and a 45° helix angle. The combinations of
left- and right-hand helixes are arranged so that the axial
forces oppose each other on shaft 2 as shown. Use SAE
4140 OQT 1200 for the shafts.

Consider 0.65 kg of N2 at 300 K, 1 bar contained in a rigid tank connected by a valve to another rigid tank holding 0.3 kg of CO2 at 300
K, 1 bar. The valve is opened and gases are allowed to mix, achieving an equilibrium state at 290 K.
Determine:
(a) the volume of each tank, in m³.
(b) the final pressure, in bar.
(c) the magnitude of the heat transfer to or from the gases during the process, in kJ.
