. A belt drive is desired to couple the motor with a mixer for processing corn syrup. The 25-hp electric motor is rated at 950 r

pm and the mixer must operate as close to 250 rpm as possible. Select an appropriate belt size, commercially available sheaves, and a belt for this application. Also calculate the actual belt speed and the center distance.

Answer:

Hello the table which is part of the question is missing and below are the table values

For a 5V belt the available diameters are : 5.5, 5.8, 5.9, 6.2, 6.3, 6.6, 12.5, 13.9, 15.5, 16.1, 18.5, 20.1

Answers:

belt size = 140 in with diameter of 20.1n

actual speed of belt = 288.49 in/s

actual center distance = 49.345 in

Explanation:

Given data :

Electric motor (driver sheave) speed (w1) = 950 rpm

Driven sheave speed (w2) = 250 rpm

pick D1 ( diameter of driver sheave) = 5.8 in ( from table )

To select an appropriate belt size we apply the equation for the velocity ratio to get the diameter first

VR = $\frac{w1}{w2}$ = 950 / 250

also since the speed of belt would be constant then ;

Vb = w1r1 = w2r2 ------- equation 1

r = d/2

substituting the value of r into equation 1

equation 2 becomes : $\frac{w1}{w2} = \frac{d2}{d1}$ = VR

Appropriate belt size ( d2) can be calculated as

d2 = $\frac{w1d1}{w2}$ = $\frac{950 * 5.8}{250}$ = 22.04

From the given table the appropriate belt size would be : 20.1 because it is the closest to the calculated value

next we have to determine the belt length /size

$L = 2C + \frac{\pi }{2} ( d1+d2) + \frac{(d2-d1)^2}{4C}$

inputting all the values into the above equation including the value of C as calculated below

L ≈ 140 in

Calculating the center distance

we use this equation to get the ideal center distance

$d2< C_{ideal} < 3( d1 +d2)$

22.04 < c < 3 ( 5.8 + 20.1 )

22.04 < c < 77.7

the center distance is between 22.04 and 77.7 but taking an average value

ideal center distance would be ≈ 48 in

To calculate the actual center distance we use

$C = \frac{B+\sqrt{B^2 - 32(d2-d1)^2} }{16}$ -------- equation 3

B = $4L -2\pi (d2 + d1 )$

inputting all the values into (B)

B = 140(4) - 2 $\pi$ ( 20.01 + 5.8 )

B ≈ 399.15 in

inputting all the values gotten Back to equation 3 to get the actual center distance

C = 49.345 in ( actual center distance )

Calculating the actual belt speed

w1 = 950 rpm = 99.48 rad/s

belt speed ( Vb) = w1r1 = w1 * $\frac{d1}{2}$

= 99.48 * 5.8 / 2 = 288.49 in/s

An insulated mixing chamber receives 0.5 kg/s of steam at 3 MPa and 300°C through one inlet, and saturated liquid water at 3 MPa

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$\dot m_{2} = 0.199\,\frac{kg}{s}$

Explanation:

The mixing chamber can be modelled by applying the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$\dot W_{in}+\dot m_{1}\cdot h_{1} +\dot m_{2} \cdot h_{2} - \dot m_{3}\cdot h_{3} = 0$

Since that mass flow rate of water at inlet 1 is the only known variable, the expression has to be simplified like this:

$\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}} + h_{1}+ y\cdot h_{2} - z\cdot h_{3} = 0$

Besides, the following expression derived from the Principle of Mass Conservation is presented below:

$1 + y = z$

Then, the expression is simplified afterwards:

$\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}} + h_{1}+ y\cdot h_{2} - (1+y)\cdot h_{3} = 0$

$\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}} +h_{1} - h_{3} + y\cdot (h_{2}-h_{3}) = 0$

Specific enthalpies are obtained from steam tables and described as follows:

State 1 (Superheated vapor)

$h = 2994.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

State 2 (Saturated liquid)

$h = 1008.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

State 3 (Liquid-Vapor mixture)

$h = 2444.22\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The ratio of the stream at state 2 to the stream at state 1 is:

$y = \frac{\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}}+h_{1}-h_{3}}{h_{3}-h_{2}}$

$y = \frac{\frac{10\,kW}{0.5\,\frac{kg}{s} }+2994.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-2444.22\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{2444.22\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-1008.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }$

$y = 0.397$

The mass flow rate of the saturated liquid is:

$\dot m_{2} = y\cdot \dot m_{1}$

$\dot m_{2} = 0.397\cdot (0.5\,\frac{kg}{s} )$

$\dot m_{2} = 0.199\,\frac{kg}{s}$

Which dimensionless parameter tells whether flow disturbances will be attenuated or amplified? a. Pr b. Re C G d. St e. Fe

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

b. Re

Explanation:

Reynolds number describe the type of flow of fluid. If Reynolds number has a high value then it is called turbulent flow and if Reynolds number is low then it is called laminar flow. Reynolds number given as follows:

$Re=\dfrac{\rho VD}{\mu }$

For internal pipe flow, if Reynolds number greater than 4000 then, it is called turbulent flow and if Reynolds number less than 2000 then it is called laminar flow. The Reynolds number between 2000 to 4000 the flow is called transition flow.
