A gear box having surface area of 0.30 m2 has overall heat transfer coefficient of 23 W/m2 oC,when a fan is mounted on worm shaft to circulate air on fins. What is the power transmitting capacity of a gear box based on thermal considerations, if temperature rise of lubricating oil is 50 oC? (Assume λ = 6o, Φn = 22o & μ = 0.05)



a. 1.023 kW

b. 1.006 kW

c. 1.227 kW

d. 2.000 kW











ANSWER: 1.006 kW
