Number of V Belts Required for Given Applications Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Belts = Power transmitted by belt*Correction Factor for Industrial Service/(Correction Factor for Belt Length*Correction Factor for Arc of Contact*Power Rating of Single V-Belt)
N = P_t*F_ar/(F_cr*F_dr*P_r)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Number of Belts - Number of Belts is the number of belts that are required for a given application.
Power transmitted by belt - (Measured in Watt) - Power transmitted by belt is the amount of power that is transmitted from the belt of a belt drive to the pulley.
Correction Factor for Industrial Service - Correction Factor for Industrial Service is the correction factor that is used for industrial purpose.
Correction Factor for Belt Length - Correction Factor for Belt Length is the factor of correction for the belt length.
Correction Factor for Arc of Contact - Correction Factor for Arc of Contact is the factor of correction for the arc of contact.
Power Rating of Single V-Belt - (Measured in Watt) - Power Rating of Single V-Belt is the power rating given to the single V-Belt.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power transmitted by belt: 6.45 Kilowatt --> 6450 Watt (Check conversion here)
Correction Factor for Industrial Service: 1.3 --> No Conversion Required
Correction Factor for Belt Length: 1.08 --> No Conversion Required
Correction Factor for Arc of Contact: 0.94 --> No Conversion Required
Power Rating of Single V-Belt: 4.128 Kilowatt --> 4128 Watt (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N = P_t*F_ar/(F_cr*F_dr*P_r) --> 6450*1.3/(1.08*0.94*4128)

Evaluating ... ...

N = 2.00083727344366

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.00083727344366 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.00083727344366 ≈ 2.000837 <-- Number of Belts

Belt Velocity of V-Belt given Belt Tension in Loose Side

LaTeX Go Belt Velocity = sqrt((Belt Tension on Tight Side-(e^(Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley/sin(V belt angle/2)))*Belt Tension on Loose Side)/(Mass of Meter Length of V Belt*(1-(e^(Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley/sin(V belt angle/2))))))

Angle of Wrap of V-Belt given Belt Tension in Loose Side of Belt

LaTeX Go Wrap Angle on Pulley = sin(V belt angle/2)*ln((Belt Tension on Tight Side-Mass of Meter Length of V Belt*Belt Velocity^2)/(Belt Tension on Loose Side-Mass of Meter Length of V Belt*Belt Velocity^2))/Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive

Belt Tension in Loose Side of V-Belt

LaTeX Go Belt Tension on Loose Side = (Belt Tension on Tight Side-Mass of Meter Length of V Belt*Belt Velocity^2)/(e^Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley/sin(V belt angle/2))+Mass of Meter Length of V Belt*Belt Velocity^2

Belt Tension in Tight Side of V-Belt

LaTeX Go Belt Tension on Tight Side = (e^Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley/sin(V belt angle/2))*(Belt Tension on Loose Side-Mass of Meter Length of V Belt*Belt Velocity^2)+Mass of Meter Length of V Belt*Belt Velocity^2
