Atransmission shaft, rotating at 500 rpm drives a milling machine which requires 3.75 kw at 750 rpm. a 300 mm diameter cast iron pulley is mounted on the transmission shaft. a preliminary design proposes using a belt of 4.75 mm thickness, which has a density of 970 kg/m². the allowable stress is 2 mpa. two pulleys rotate in opposite directions and the centre distance of the shafts is 750 mm. the co efficient of friction is 0.3 for both the pulleys. determine the width of the belt.

Acarnot refrigerator operates in a room in which the temperature is 21°c and of power when operating. if the food compartment of the refrigerator is consumes 3 kw to be maintained at 2°c, determine (a) the coefficient of performance of the cycle and (b) the rate of heat removal from the food compartment. refrigerator cycle that has a higher coefficient of performance than that of the discussed (e) is it possible to develop a carn ot refrigerator, operating between the same temperature limits? explain
