Answer:
<em>a) 34 mm</em>
<em>b) 39 mm</em>
<em>c) 93.16%</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
power transmitted P = 28 kW 28000 W
angular speed N = 440 rpm
angular speed in rad/s Ω = 2
N/60
Ω = (2 x 3.142 x 440)/60 = 46.08 rad/s
allowable shear stress τ = 80 MPa = 80 x
Pa
torque T = P/Ω = 28000/46.08 = 607.64 N-m
a) for the minimum diameter of a solid shaft, we use the equation
τ
= ![\frac{16T}{ \pi}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B16T%7D%7B%20%5Cpi%7D)
80 x
x
=
= 3094.28
= 3094.28/(80 x
) = 0.0000386785
d =
≅ 0.034 m =<em> 34 mm</em>
<em></em>
b) For a hollow shaft with outside diameter D = 40 mm = 0.04 m
we use the equation,
T =
x τ x ![\frac{D^{4} - d^{4}}{D^{4} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BD%5E%7B4%7D%20-%20d%5E%7B4%7D%7D%7BD%5E%7B4%7D%20%7D)
where d is the internal diameter of the pipe
607.64 =
x 80 x
x ![\frac{0.04^{4} - d^{4}}{0.04^{4} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B0.04%5E%7B4%7D%20-%20d%5E%7B4%7D%7D%7B0.04%5E%7B4%7D%20%7D)
3.82 x
= ![0.04^{4} - d^{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.04%5E%7B4%7D%20-%20d%5E%7B4%7D)
= ![\sqrt[4]{2.56*10^{-6} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B2.56%2A10%5E%7B-6%7D%20%7D)
d = 0.039 m = <em>39 mm</em>
<em></em>
c) <em>we assume weight is proportional to cross-sectional area</em>
<em></em>
for solid shaft,
area =
r = diameter/2 = 34/2 = 17 mm
area = 3.142 x
= 907.92 mm^2
for hollow shaft, radius is also gotten as before
external area =
= 3.142 x
= 1256.64 mm^2
internal diameter =
= 3.142 x
= 1194.59 mm^2
<em>true area of hollow shaft = external area minus internal area</em>
area = 1256.64 - 1194.59 = 62.05 mm^2
material weight saved is proportional to 907.92 - 62.05 = 845.87 mm^2
percentage weight saved is proportional to 845.87/907.92 x 100%
= <em>93.15%</em>
