PART B - 16 Mark Qs(5x16=80)
11. a Design a pair of helical gears to transmit 30kW power at a speed reduction
ratio of 4:1. The input shaft rotates at 2000 rpm. Take helix and pressure angles
equal to 25and 20respectively. The number of teeth on the pinion may be taken
as 30.
(OR)
11.b Design a straight spur gear drive to transmit 8 kW. The pinion speed is 720
rpm and the speed
ratio is 2. Both the gears are made of the same surface
hardened carbon steel with 55HRC and core hardness less than 350 BHN.
Ultimate strength is 720 N/Sqmm and yield strength is 360 N/Sqmm.

12.a Design a gear drive to transmit 22 kW at 1000 rpm. Speed reduction is 2.5. 16
The center distance between the shaft is approximately 350mm. the materials
are: Pinion C45, gearwheel: CI grade 30. Design the drive.
(OR)
12.b
In a spur gear drive for a rock crusher, the gears are made of case
hardened
alloy steel. The pinion is transmitting 18 kW at 1200 rpm with a 16
gear ratio of 3.5.
13.a Design a spur gear pair to transmit 1.5Kw at 1440 rpm from an electric
motor to an air compressor running at 720 rpm. Take the working life as 10,000
hrs. Material to be used is cast iron grade 25 for both pinion and wheel.
(OR)
13.b A pair of helical gears subjected to moderate shock loading s to transmit
37.5 kW at 1750 rpm of the pinion. The speed reduction ratio is 4.25 and the helix
angle is 15.the service is continuous and the teeth are 20D in the normal plane.
Design the gears, assuming a life of 10,000 hours..

14.a Design a nine speed gear box for a machine to provide speeds ranging from
100 to 1500 rpm. The input is from a motor of 5 kW at 1440 rpm. Assume any
alloy steel for the gears.
(OR)
14.b Design a worm gear drive to transmit 22.5 kW at a worm speed of 1440 rpm.
Velocity ratio is 24:1. An efficiency of at least 85% is desired. The temperature
rise should be restricted to 400 C. Determine the required cooling area assume
heat transfer co-efficient=15w/Sq.m kelvin.

16

15.a A six speed gear box is required to provide output speeds in the range of 125
to 400r.p.m. with a step ratio of 1.25 and transmit a power of 5 kW at 710r.p.m.
