Computing train value of planetary gear

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on calculating the efficiency (e) of a planetary gear system using the formula e=(N_{p1}/N_{s1})*(N_{s2}/N_{p2}). The calculated efficiency value is 1.25926, which is incorrect as the expected value is 0.7941. The user indicates that the primary challenge lies in determining the correct parameters to achieve the desired efficiency value.

Homework Equations


e=(product of number of driving teeth)/(product of number of driven teeth)

e=(n[itex]_{out}[/itex]-n[itex]_{arm}[/itex])/(n[itex]_{in}[/itex]-n[itex]_{arm}[/itex])


The Attempt at a Solution


e=(N[itex]_{p1}[/itex]/N[itex]_{s1}[/itex])*(N[itex]_{s2}[/itex]/N[itex]_{p2}[/itex])
e=1.25926

e should be 0.7941 however

From there out it seems pretty trivial. I just need to get the right e value.
