Referring to Problem 2.24. calculate the output torque if the 4:1 ratio gear reducer has an efficiency of 95%.
Problem 2.24
Figure P2.24 shows an exploded drawing of a pump driven by a 1.5-kW, 1800-rpm motor integrally attached to a 4 : 1 ratio gear reducer. Reducer shaft C is connected directly to pump shaft C' through a flexible coupling (not shown). Face A of the reducer housing is bolted to flange A' of the connecting tube (a one-piece solid unit). Pump face B is similarly attached to flange B'. Sketch the connecting tube and show all loads acting on it. (Neglect gravity.)
