Power required to rotate the system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the power requirements for a system with two pulleys connected by a timing belt, where the drive pulley has a diameter of 100mm and the driven pulley has a diameter of 300mm. In steady state, theoretically, no load is required, but practical considerations include overcoming motor inefficiencies, pulley windage, and friction from the belt and bearings. The user seeks guidance on incorporating belt efficiency and tension into their calculations without prior knowledge of the power. Suggestions for typical calculations and methods to estimate these factors are requested. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding real-world inefficiencies in power requirements.

This is first post of mine regarding steady state power requirement.

Since i am involving the power requirement project I am posting the question in simple way as follows.

Drive & driven both two pulleys are connected by timing belt

Drive pulley diameter is 100mm(face width25mm) Pulley is bearing supported

Driven pulley is 300mm(face width 25mm) same bearing supported in the bore.

Speed 500mm

Mass of drive pulley is say 3Kg driven pulley is 20 kg

Both pulley is supported by bearings.Bearing diameter is (drive pulley mean dia 40mm) Bearing diameter (driven pulley mean dia is 75mm)

(Neglect the acceleration torque next phase we can discuss this)
What is the power requirement of the above system?

Assume no load condition(otherwise if you thought that no sense in this add load in driven pulley as 100kg)

Thanks in advance

If it's steady state theoretically there's no load required. In reality, the only load is then the required power to overcome motor inefficiencies, pulley windage, belt and bearing friction. Your speed is 500 rpm (you have a type-o in your post there)?

Thank you Mr.Fred garvin
Yes speed unit there is typing error.ok I have understand your reply but my doubt is how to include the belt efficiencey or tension without knowing the power any suggestions regarding this,Any typical calculations...will be greatly appereciated.

Thanks in advance

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
