Problem E:
The clutch system shown in the figure below is used to transmit torque through a 2-mm
thick oil film with =0.47N*sm2 between two identical 30-cm diameter disks. When the
driving shaft rotates at a speed of 1200 rpm , the driven shaft is observed to rotate at 1125
rpm. Assuming a linear velocity profile for the oil film, determine the:
(a) Transmitted torque.
(b) Plot the change in torque when the oil thickness varies from 1 mm to 20 mm for the
disk diameter D=30cm.
(c) Plot the change in torque when diameter of the disks varies from 10 cm to 100 cm
when the thickness of oil film is fixed at 2 mm .
(d) Comment on the last two findings.
