Figure P8-1 shows the cam and follower from Problem 6-65. Using graphical methods, find and sketch the equivalent fourbar linkage for this position of the cam and follower.

To sketch: The equivalent four bar linkage of thecam follower.
Explanation of Solution
Cams are rotated by cam pair at A and B. For an equivalent four bar linkage of cam and follower mechanism, the cam pair is converted into two turning pair by an imaginary link AB. Length of the link will be equal to the center of curvature distances between two cams. Also the two cam is replaced by a two links O2A and O2B. O2A is the distance between center of curvature of left cam at A and center of rotation of left cam at O2. Similarly O2B is distance between the center of curvature of right cam at B and center of rotation of right cam at O4.
Graphical method for four bar mechanism:-
- Take O2 and O4 as a fix link.
- Mark A and B as a center of curvature of the left and right cam respectively.
- Draw O2A and O2B and join A and B as AB.
Drawing the equivalent four bar linkage as shown below:
O2ABO4is the equivalent 4 bar linkage of two sliding cam mechanism. The angular velocity of left and right cam will be equal to the angular velocity of link O2A and O2B respectively.

DESIGN OF MACHINERY
- Liquid water enters the boiler at 60 bar. Steam exits the boiler at 60 bar, 540°C and undergoes a throttling process to 40 bar before entering the turbine. Steam expands adiabatically through the turbine to 5 bar, 240°C, and then undergoes a throttling process to 1 bar before entering the condenser. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Draw a Temperature-Entropy diagram and mark each of the states 2-5 on this diagram. Determine the power generated by the turbine, in kJ per kg of steam flowing. For the valves and the turbine, evaluate the rate of entropy production, each in kJ/K per kg of steam flowing.arrow_forwardFind the componenets of reactions at pins of A, B and D please show the detailed process and instructions for learning draw out all diagrams please and thank youarrow_forwardA cast iron cylinder of 200 mm inner diameter and 12.5 mm thick is closely wound with a layer of 4 mm diameter steel wire under a tensile stress of 55 MN/m².

You can consider the boundary conditions at A and B to be fixed supports. The beam was originally designed to withstand a triangular distributed load, however, the loading condition has been revised and can be approximated by a cosine function as shown in the figure below. You have been tasked with analysing the structure. As the beam is prismatic, you can assume that the bending rigidity (El) is constant. wwo cos 2L x A B Figure 3: Built in beam with a varying distributed load In order to do this, you will: a. Solve the reaction forces and moments at point A and B. Hint: you may find it convenient to use the principal of superposition. (2%) b.

The pin acts as a moment release, i.e. no moments are transferred through this pinned connection. Shear forces can be transferred through the pinned connection. Beam ABC has a pinned support at point A and a roller support at Point C. Beam CD has a roller support at Point D. A concentrated load, P, is applied to the mid span of beam CD, and acts at an angle as shown below. Two concentrated moments, MB and Mc act in the directions shown at Point B and Point C respectively. The magnitude of these moments is PL.
