As shown below, a motor runs at 1,750 rpm, and this motor drives a blower using a belt drive. The blower operates at 600rpm. The pulley attached to the motor shaft is pulley 2 , and the pulley attached to the blower shaft is pulley 3. The diameter of the pulley attached to the motor shaft is D2?, and the diameter of the pulley attached to the blower shaft is D3?. The center distance between the two shafts is twice the diameter of pulley 3. Design the belt drive system by determining the following: a) (5 points) The required diameters of both pulleys. b) (5 points) The length of the belt to be used in the drive system. c) (5 points) The angles of wrap for pulley 2 and pulley 3. d) (5 points) The minimum initial tension, F0?, required so that neither pulley will slip against the belt (determinatiohof Fo? will require finding the tight side and slack side belt tensions, F1? and F2? respectively). The belt manufacturer specifies that the proper operating linear velocity of the belt is 4000fpm (feet per minute). Assume belt stretch is negligible. If the belt tension in part c) is specified correctly, then no belt slip may be assumed. The belt is leather, and the pulleys are cast iron. The coefficient of friction between pulley 3 and the belt is ?3?=0.40. However, pulley 2 is wrapped, on its outside diameter, with a nonmetallic material to increase beit to pulley friction. Therefore, the coefficient of friction between pulley 2 and the belt is ?2?=0.50. The value of Fc? is 100lbs, and the value of F2? is 210lbs.
