Steps for Solving Problem for Finding Maximum Power:
1. Use formula stress (σ) = force (Maximum Tension)/Area
Where; Area = b.t that is, Tmax = σ.b.t
2. Unit mass (m) = ρ.b.t.L Where
ρ = Density of material
b = Width of Belt t = Belt thickness L = Unit length
Take L = 1m, if b and t are in meter
Take L = 100cm, if b and t are in cm
Take L = 1000mm, if b and t are in mm
3. TC =1/3 Tmax = mV2, to finding TC and velocity.
We do not Calculate Velocity using V = ΠDN/60 m/sec
5. Tmax = T1 + Tc, for finding T1
6. For T2, By using relation Ratio of belt tension = T1/T2 = eµθ
7. Maximum Power Transmitted = (T1 - T2).v/1000 Kw
