A compressor is to run at 250 rpm and requires 75 kW. The drive is provided by V-belts from an electric motor running at 750 rpm. The pitch diameter of the pulley on the compressor is 750 mm and the centre distance between the motor shaft and compressor shaft is 1500 mm. Determine the number of V-belts required to transmit this power if each belt has a cross-sectional area of 375 mm2, density of 1000 kg/m3 and an allowable stress of 2.5 MPa. The groove angle of the pulley is 35° and the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.25.

A journal and bearing are to be designed for a shaft that turns at 250 rpm. Suppose ISO VG100 (SAE Engine 30) is to be used as lubricant and the bearing length is to be equal to 1.2 times the diameter. If the no-load power loss is not to exceed 2.5 x 10-4 horsepower and the diametral clearance is 0.0045 times the diameter, estimate the maximum diameter that can be used for the journal, and the allowable temperature limit.
