What

thc

system

in

an automobilfl

Transmission

is the

mechanism

which is used to

tiansfer

the

power

developed

by

engine

to

the wheels

of an

automobile. The transmission

system

of

an

automobile

includes clutch,

gear

box,

propeller

shaft

axle

and

wheels,

etc.

The main function of

the transmission

is

to

provide

the

necessary variation

to

the

torque

applied

by

tlre

engine to

the wheels.

This

is

achieved

by

changing

the

gearing

ratio

between

the

engine and

the

drive

shaft.

Why

is

geomctric

in

gcar ratios?

For

heavy

commercial

vehicres,

the

gear

ratios

are

usualry

arranged

in

geometric

progression.

The

basis

for

this

is

to

have

the

engine

within

the

in

It is the

shafts?

Driving

as

r.vell

as

both

Vertical

produces

The

horizorrtal

force

due

to

tilting of

the

vehicle. cornering

Why it

is

so important?

Critical speedN"

:ry99

-

^W

Y

It

is important

to

calculate

the

critical

speed

because,

whirling

may

occur

at certain

critical

speed leading

to

failure

of

the

material.

So,

the

speed

of

operation

of

the

propeller

be ahvays

lower

than the critical

speed.

Driving
