The impeller shaft of a fluid agitator transmits 20 kW at 430 rpm. If the allowable shear stress in the impeller shaft must be limited to 65 MPa, determine (a) the minimum diameter required for a solid impeller shaft. (b) the maximum inside diameter permitted for a hollow impeller shaft if the outside diameter is 36 mm. (c) the percent savings in weight realized if the hollow shaft is used instead of the solid shaft. (Hint: The weight of a shaft is proportional to its cross-sectional area.)

An engine, weighing 3000 n, is supported on a pedestal mount. it has been observed that the engine induces vibration into the surrounding area through its pedestal at the maximum operating speed. determine the stiffness of the dynamic vibration absorber spring in (n/m) that will reduce the vibration when mounted on the pedestal. the magnitude of the exciting force is 250 n, and the amplitude of motion of the auxiliary mass is to be limited to 2 mm note: in this question type-in right numbers, no decimals, no fractions, no unit. approximate to right number if needed

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.

A21-tooth spur pinion mates with a 28-tooth gear. the diametral pitch is 3 teeth/in and the pressure angle is 20°, find the following values: the addendum, dedendum, circular pitch, tooth thickness, and base circle diameters.
