But let's just assume that my instructor give a what you would say a recommended rpm. Can you guide me on how to design the diameter? Which way should I start looking at.

Yeah it's the design requirement set by our lecturer. I'm not sure myself about those kind of stresses, as I have very low exposure to real life design and application. Sadly but no ;/ However, just IF we're to ignore the balancing part, can you please give me a jump start to calculate for the...

I'm not sure if my diameter calculation is even correct, but we're using SS304 as the material. And I calculated roughly about 43mm diameter for the shaft. 1 meter long. This is my first time working for such project.

Thank youu! Its for my engineering design project . A high rotational speed drum to dry food. We are working in a group and we just need to create a simulation. Not the actual thing. I'm not sure about the balancing stuff as we're not stressed on such issue. My part was to design the shaft...

I need to make sure that my drum which is connected to a shaft and with load of 30kg is able to rotate at 6500rpm. mass of drum : 15kg, diameter 0.6m, length, 0.6m mass of shaft : 11kg, length = 1m, diameter, 0.043m mass of load : 15kg desired speed : 6500rpm in 30minutes. How can I determine...
