I have 1010 KVA Generator when i run the DG set for 5 to 6
hours the couplling (couplling joint in between engine &
alternator) bolts are getting loose what is the reason &
what is the remedy over this??????????

Answer / cs reddy
Bolts are getting loose due to Vibration.
Vibrations may be due to :
a) Misallignment.
b) Improper foundation.
c) Improper Mass Balancing.

Answer / manoj saah
Coupling Misalligment may be major reason.
So do allignment by using Dial Gauge and clearance should
0.05 mm.

Answer / girish
Vibration is a main reason
1. Reduce vibration using vibration isolating mounts
2. use flexble coupling with lock nuts

Answer / rakshit
dumb people .... they have specified 1010 KVA ... which is
very high capacity.... high shear force exists if proper
rated engine is not coupled to generator ,,,, due to high
shear force.. wear in coupling.. wear in coupling... loose
studs... .. also greater vibrations is the cause

Answer / pavan
Use lock nuts. Because vibrations are unavoidable (but can
only be minimized), using lock nuts is always safe.

2. Dry saturated steam at 3.5 bar is expanded through a convergent nozzle to 2.2 bar. The exit area is 5 sq. cm. Calculate the exit velocity and mass flow rate, assuming isentropic expansion and super saturated flow. b) A cast iron cylinder head is fastened to a cylinder of 750mm bore with 12 stud bolts. The maximum pressure inside the cylinder is 3 Mpa. The stiffness of part is thrice the stiffness of the bolt. What should be the initial tightening load so that the point is leak proof at maximum pressure? Also choose a suitable bolt for the above application 2 The propeller shaft of a marine engine is to transmit 600 kW at 1200 rpm, without a significant bending. The efficiency of the propeller is 88% at 32 knots ( 1 knot = 1085 km/hr). If the slenderness ratio is less than 50 and the permissible shear stress should not exceed 65 Mpa. Determine the diameter of shaft. 3 A semi-elliptic leaf spring consists of two extra full-length leaves and six graduated length leaves, including the master leaf. Each leaf is 7.2 mm thick and 65 mm wide. The centre-to-centre distance between the two eyes is 1.3m. The leaves are pre-stressed in such a way that when the load is maximum, stress induced in all leaves are equal to 380 N/mm sq. Determine the maximum force that the spring can withstand
