Question: Problem # 5 A lever loaded safety valve is mounted on the boiler to blow off at a pressure of 1 . 5 MPa

Problem \# 5
A lever loaded safety valve is mounted on the boiler to blow off at a pressure of 1.5 MPa gauge. The effective diameter of the opening of the valve is 50 mm . The distance between the fulcrum and the pin connecting the valve spindle to the lever is 100 mm . The lever and the pin are made of plain carbon steel \(30\mathrm{C8}\left(S_{y t}=400\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{mm}^{2}\right)\) and the factor of safety is 5. The permissible bearing pressure at the pins in the lever is \(25\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{mm}^{2}\). The lever has a rectangular cross-section and the ratio of width to thickness is 3:1. Design a suitable lever for the safety valve. Note: Show all steps clearly, draw diagrams, show stress elements, etc.
