A flat belt transmits power of 20 kW when the velocity of the belt is 30 m/s. What will be the initial tension in the belt if 230 N is the centrifugal tension in the belt and F1 / F2 =2.5?
Two pulleys of an open belt drive A and B transmit power of 100 kW from pulley A running at 1000 r.p.m to pulley B at 500 r.p.m. If diameter of pulley A is 150 mm and 3% is the slip at operating conditions then what is the diameter of pulley B? (Assume thickness of belt = 12 mm)
