1200 r.p.m. ; Indicated mean effective pressure = 0.35 N / mm 2 ; Mechanical efficiency = 80
%. Determine: 1. bore and length of the cylinder; 2. thickness of the cylinder head ; and 3. size

6. What is the difference between clutch and flange coupling?
7. An automotive single plate clutch consists of two pairs of contacting surfaces. The outer
diameter of the friction disk is 270 mm. The coefficient of friction is 0.3 and the maximum
intensity of pressure is 0.3 N/mm 2. The clutch is transmitting a torque of 531 N-m. Assuming
uniform wear theory, calculate: (i) the inner diameter of the friction disk; and (ii) spring force
required to keep the clutch engaged.
8. A cone clutch is used to connect an electric motor running at 1440 rpm with a machine which
is stationary. The machine is equivalent to a rotor of 150 kg mass and radius of gyration as 250
mm. The machine has to be brought to the full speed of 1440 rpm from stationary condition in
40s. The semi-cone angle a is 12.5°. The mean radius of the clutch is twice the face width. The
coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the normal intensity of pressure between contacting surfaces
should not exceed 0.1 N/mm2. Assuming uniform wear criterion, calculate: (i) the inner and
outer diameters; (ii) the face width of friction lining; (iii) the force required to engage the
clutch; and (iv) the amount of heat generated during each engagement of clutch.
9. A multi-disk clutch consists of two steel disks with one bronze disk. The inner and outer
diameters of the contacting surfaces are 200 and 250 mm respectively. The coefficient of
friction is 0.1 and the maximum pressure between the contacting surfaces is limited to 0.4
N/mm2. Assuming uniform wear theory, calculate the required force to engage the clutch and
the power transmitting capacity at 720 rpm
10. A centrifugal clutch, transmitting 18.5 kW at 720 rpm, consists of four shoes. The clutch is to
be engaged at 75% of the running speed. The inner radius of the drum is 165 mm, while the
radius of the centre of gravity of each shoe, during engaged position, is 140 mm. The coeffi
cient of friction is 0.25. Calculate the mass of each shoe.
