. 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 rpm 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.

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
