CRITICAL SPEED CALCULATION

Thr RPM which numericlly concide with the natural frequency of transverse Vibration of the shaft is Known as critical speed .

Critical speed is a function of mass of rotating component and Stiffness of its material . F=stiffness of rotating component

m=mass of the same

The speed at which harmonic vibrations of the machine will rip it apart. Every rotating machine has multiple points at which vibrations occur, the speed at which all of these vibrations reach maximum vibration is the critical speed. Two or more vibrations can reach maximum at the same time, this is called harmonic vibration.

Example: A pump which has a bearing that vibrates at 400 rpm, an impeller that vibrates at 600 rpm, and a second bearing that vibrates at 800 rpm will have harmonic vibrations at 800 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1600 rpm and so on. It will reach critical speed at 2400 rpm, and again at 4800 rpm...etc. when all three vibrations reach maximum.

What is the limitation of science and technology?

The limitation of science and technology is the ability to travel at the speed of light and in order to travel at the speed of light we would need to find a way to not interact with the higgs boson. Since we are interacting with the higgs boson we can not travel at the speed of light.


Why do propellers blades vary?

Another word for a ships propeller is a 'screw'. Modern ship propellers have variable pitch blades, which means the blades can change angles (even to a 'reverse angle). The pitch is changed by changing hydraulic pressure in the propeller. One reason: You can change the pitch a lot faster than you can change the speed of the engine, since the heavy shaft and propellers have momentum, this is especially important, if you need to go 'full reverse' to avoid collision. If you did not have variable pitch blades, the shaft would have to come to a complete stop before it could reverse direction of rotation. Another reason, the engine can be run at an 'optimum speed' for fuel efficiency, and the blade pitch adjusted if you need to adjust speed.


Why can't you change direction of a DC motor by reversing the line wires?

in some cases we need a desired speed, like in cassette stereo system we need the proper speed so that we can listen the song in a proper manner so we need to control the speed of motor. more example-lift,elevator


How do you you make a rubber band powered boat?

A rubber band boat works much like a rubber band airplane. First you need to build the boat itself. Then you need to make a propeller. The propeller shaft needs to run through the inside of the boat, not below the boat. With the prop below the water. The propeller shaft should not go the full length of the boat. About halfway through put a loop in the shaft. Then to the front of the boat attach a rubber band. Then run the rubber band through the loop in propeller shaft. Now twist the prop and the rubber band should twist around and around. When it's good and tight let go and the propeller should spin. Allowing the boat to move forward in the water. Mind you the shaft needs to be a thin piece of metal, as it will be difficult to make it water tight.

You should probably use a regular shaft because that is quite a moderate swing speed.

How do you determine golf shaft stiffness?

It is imposible for me to tell you how stiff a shaft you should use because I don't know your swing speed. Golfers who swing the club at a faster speed in the downswing (faster swing peed) will require a stiffer, and possibly heavier shaft, whereas a golfer with a slower swing speed may need a more flexible and possibly lighter shaft. Depending on how serious you are about golf, you may want to get a club fitting. If you do this a golf professional will help you find the


What is the cost of converting a short shaft to a long shaft?

Pretty sure all you need is the shaft and the housing, so if you can find those in a junk yard or something, it wouldn't cost anything. If you need to buy the labor too, you'll need to check with a transmission shop for an estimate.


Determine the maximum torque the shaft can transmit?

The maximum torque a shaft can transmit depends on the material, diameter, and length of the shaft as well as the operating conditions such as speed and applied load. To determine the maximum torque, you would need to perform a detailed mechanical analysis or consult engineering specifications for the specific shaft in question.

At what speed does a drive shaft vibrate?

Drive shafts are balanced to prevent vibration, if yours is doing it you need to check your universal joints, and whether the shaft has been dented or if one of the weights used to balance it has fallen off.

Converting a 1967 Chevy Impala with 350 motor and 4-speed tranny to a Turbo 350 tranny?

I would never convert a 1967 Impala 4 speed to A/T. It is worth more in 4 speed form. But yes it can be done. You will need the transmission and torque converter with the correct bellhousing. You will need the transmission mount cross member, and more than likely the drive shaft. You will also need a floor shifter which would be easy to purchase. You could fabricate the cross member mount and the drive shaft if need be.
