Test: Block Brake - Question 3

 If initially drum of radius 200mm is rotating at 100rpm, then calculate the heat generated if frictional force acting is 1140N.

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 3

Explanation: Heat=Frictional forcexaverage velocity.

Test: Block Brake - Question 4

In a block brake with short shoe, it is assumed that friction force and normal reaction are concentrated at the midpoint of the shoe.

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 4

Explanation: The angle of contact is less than 45⁰ and hence the assumption is valid.

Test: Block Brake - Question 5

The pressure intensity at an element on long shoe brake varies directly with the sin of the pressure angle of the element of friction lining.

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 5

Explanation: p=Cxcos(Ǿ).

Test: Block Brake - Question 6

The equivalent coefficient of friction in case of block brake with long shoe is denoted by μ[4Sinθ/2θ+sin4θ].

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 6

Explanation: μ[4Sinθ/2θ+sin2θ].

Test: Block Brake - Question 7

In pivoted block brakes, moment of frictional force about pivot is non zero. 

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 7

Explanation: Pivot point is selected such that moment of frictional force about pivot point is zero.

Test: Block Brake - Question 8

Shoe is constrained to move towards the drum to compensate for the moment acting.

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 8

Explanation: It compensates for the wear which is constant for all points.

Test: Block Brake - Question 9

 A pivoted double block brake has a drum radius of 280mm with two shoes subtending an angle of 100⁰. Calculate the distance of pivot from axis of drum.

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 9

Explanation: h=4Rsinθ/2θ+sin2θwhere θ=100/2.

Test: Block Brake - Question 10

 A pivoted double block brake has a drum radius of 280mm with two shoes subtending an angle of 100⁰. Maximum pressure intensity is 0.5N/mm². If the width of friction lining is 90mm, find the torque capacity f each shoe. Assume coefficient of friction as 0.2.

Detailed Solution for Test: Block Brake - Question 10

Explanation: M=2μR²wpsinθ.
