Question:

For Problem 5–11, complete the design of a pair of helical gears to operate under the stated conditions. Specify the geometry of the gears and the material and its heat treatment. Assume that the drive is from an electric motor unless otherwise specified. Consider both strength and pitting resistance.

A water turbine transmits 15.0 hp to a pair of helical gears at 4500 rpm. The output of the gear pair must drive an electric power generator at 3600 rpm. The center distance for the gear pair must not exceed 4.00 in.
