Q2/ A dry single plate clutch is to be designed for an automotive vehicle whose engine is rated to give 100 kW at 2400 r.p.m. and maximum torque 500 N-m. The outer radius of the friction plate is 25% more than the inner radius. The intensity of pressure between the plate is not to exceed 0.07 N/mm?. The coefficient of friction may be assumed equal to 0.3. The helical springs required by this clutch to provide axial force necessary to engage the clutch are eight. If each spring has stiffness equal to 40 N/mm, determine the dimensions of the friction plate and initial compression in the springs

Q2/ A dry single plate clutch is to be designed for an automotive vehicle whose engine is rated to give
100 kW at 2400 r.p.m. and maximum torque 500 N-m. The outer radius of the friction plate is 25% more than
the inner radius. The intensity of pressure between the plate is not to exceed 0.07 N/mm?. The coefficient of
friction may be assumed equal to 0.3. The helical springs required by this clutch to provide axial force
necessary to engage the clutch are eight. If each spring has stiffness equal to 40 N/mm, determine the
dimensions of the friction plate and initial compression in the springs
