A blower is driven by an electric motor though a belt drive. The motor runs at 750 r.p.m. For this power transmission, a flat belt of 8 mm thickness and 250 mm width is used. The diameter of the motor pulley is 350 mm and that of the blower pulley 1350 mm. The center distance between these pulleys is 1350 mm and an open belt configuration is adopted. The pulleys are made out of cast iron. The frictional coefficient between the belt and pulley is 0.35 and the permissible stress for the belt material can be taken as 2.5 N/mm2 with sufficient factor of safety. The mass of a belt is 2 kg per meter length. Find the maximum power transmitted without belt slipping in any one of the pulleys. Note: Sketch the belt drive system for both parts and label the given data on it.

A multi plate friction clutch is used to transmit the power from the engine to a rotor which has a mass of 152 kg and a radius of gyration of 0.34 m. The inner and outer radius of the clutch disc is 0.055 m and 0.217 m respectively. The clutch plate has 4 contact surfaces (n = 4) and the axial thrust is 379 N. The flywheel of the engine rotates constantly at 1,106 rpm. Calculate the time required to accelerate the rotor from rest if the clutch is suddenly engaged. Take u = 0.42.
