Forces in Intermittent Gear Drive System

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the expected forces in an intermittent gear drive system operating at up to 6000 RPM, specifically for a lightweight component measuring 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches long. Participants express uncertainty about the specific forces involved but share resources for further understanding. One user appreciates a provided link for additional information on indexing and related mechanics. The conversation highlights the need for more detailed calculations or simulations to accurately predict the forces in such a system. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexity of analyzing forces in high-speed intermittent gear drives.

Can anyone tell me the forces i may expect to find with this intermitent
mutilated gear drive system, it will be driving an almost free wheeling
component at i hope up to 6000 rpm the weight of the driven compnent will be ozs, about 2 inches dia by 6 inches long.

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
