An air compressor is to be powered by an engine to use for a construction site. A single-cylinder, two- stroke engine with flywheel is coupled through a clutch (that can be disengaged to start the engine) to a gearset to reduce the engine speed and boost its torque appropriately. The gearbox contains a single gearset to reduce the high engine speed to a lower one suitable for the compressor. The required gear ratio is 1500:3800 or 0.39:1. The shafts in the gearbox housing are carried in suitable bearings. flywheel engine engine clutch top view output shaft clutch gearbox gear bearings --- front view gearbox gear coup- ling compressor XXXX pin- ion compressor base coup- ling bear- ings input shaft 0.34- Min Tan Max Ta min he Max Ba 585 T lb-in 0 -175 avg Max. 0180 360 crank angle (deg) Torque profile of the crankshaft. The 2.5-hp gasoline engine is governed at 3800 rpm. The gearset's output shaft drives the crankshaft of a single-cylinder compressor through a keyed coupling. The time-varying torque profile of the output shaft is also depicted in the figure above. You are required to design both the input and the output shafts to safely deliver the power from the engine to the compressor. Bo
