Calculating Spring Force for a Multi Plate Clutch

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the spring force required for a multi-plate clutch with four frictional surfaces, the internal diameter is 120mm and the external diameter is 200mm, with a coefficient of friction of 0.3. The goal is to transmit 20KW of power at 1440 RPM under uniform pressure conditions. Initial calculations suggest a spring force of 1381.597N, while another method indicates a required force of 1841N after converting power to torque. The discrepancy in results highlights the importance of verifying calculations and assumptions in clutch design. Accurate calculations are crucial for ensuring effective clutch performance.

A multi plate clutch has 4 frictional surfaces, imternal diameter 120mm and external diameter 200mm. The coefficent of friction is 0.3

What spring force will be required to transmit 20KW of power at 1440 RPM if the clutch is under uniform pressure conditions?

Using constant wear therory R1 + R2 / 2

I have managed to reach an answer of 1381.597N or 1.381KN (Can anyone confirm please?)

Thanks,
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
