Advantage of a sheave wheel in a shaft headgear​

Engineering
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

sorry if wrong

Explanation:

One sheave means that you are using a single drum winder. They are the worst! Double drum winders control easier, brake better and are much more efficient. They save time ( two skips or cages) and can be clutched to perform faster shift transport. A single drum is slow, unbalanced and can be a nightmare if it trips out during hoisting. If the brake system is not perfect it can be a real hairy experience. For a runaway single drum, there is no counterbalance effect. It always runs to destruction. With a double drum, the driver still has a chance to control the winder to a certain extent and he has two sets of brakes to rely on. A single sheave could also mean a shaft with a single compartment. No second means of escape unless there are ladders or stairways. Not a very healthy situation.

Those are just a few points. I am sure much more can be said in favor of a double drum winder and two or more sheaves in the headgear. Most of the shafts I have worked at have multiple winders and up to ten compartments. They all have a small single drum service winder for emergencies and moves of personnel during shift times. They are referred to as the Mary - Annes. Apparently, the name originated in the U.K. where an aristocratic mine owner named the first such winder after his mistress.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Both technician A and technician B are correct.

Explanation: Vehicle manufacturers always specify the size of the tires required for a given vehiclefor optimal efficiency,this will ensure that the speedometer is accurate and the level of the vehicle is good enough to ensure the vehicle works efficiently.

It is also a known fact that an increase in a vehicle's rpm(revolution per minute) will eventually lead to increased fuel consumption which means the fuel economy of the vehicle will be reduced making the vehicle less efficient in its fuel consumption.
