A solid 28indiameter bronze G 7100 ksi shaft is 77ft long T
A solid 2.8-in.-diameter bronze [G = 7100 ksi] shaft is 7.7-ft long. The allowable shear stress in the shaft is 11 ksi and the angle of twist must not exceed 0.049 rad. Determine the maximum horsepower P that this shaft can deliver:
 (a) when rotating at 193 rpm.
 (b) when rotating at 541 rpm.
(a) P=.... hp
(b) P=.... hp
Solution
Solution:-
Given
G=7100 ksi
? = 0.049 radian
Diameter (D) = 2.8 inch
Length(l) = 7.7 feet
Shear stress = 11 ksi
We know that
T/J = ?/R = G?/l
T = G?/l *J
T =( 7100 *103*0.049 /(7.7*12))*?/32*(2.8)4
= 22.72 *103 pound –inch
Torque (T) = 1.893 *103 pound – feet
(a) When N = 193 rpm
Power(P) = T*N/(5252)
= 1.893*103*193/(5252)
= 69.56 hp Answer
(b) when rotation N= 541 rpm
P = T*N/(5252)
P= 1.893*103*541/(5252)
P = 194.99 hp Answer
