ABSTRACT
This project is to fabricate a model called agricultural sprayer.In olden days the
spraying system was handled manually. But in this generation there are few types
of machines for this process. Here we implement a new idea for spraying water in
agricultural areas by using a hand operated vehicle.

Specifications
Shaft diameter: 12mm
Material: mild steel
Length:26 inch
Shaft
Since it is cold drawn it has got its inherent characteristics of smooth bright finish.
Amount of machining therefore is minimal. Better yield strength is also obtained.
This is widely used for general purpose transmission shaft.
For the design of shaft following two methods are adopted, Design based on
Strength In this method, design is carried out so that stress at any location of the
shaft should not exceed the material yield stress. However, no consideration for
shaft deflection and shaft twist is included. Design based on Stiffness Basic idea of
design in such case depends on the allowable deflection and twist of the shaft.
The stress at any point on the shaft depends on the nature of load acting on it. The
stresses which may be present are as follows.
Bending stress
Where,
8
M: Bending moment at the point of interest
k: Ratio of inner to outer diameters of the shaft ( k = 0 for a solid shaft because
inner diameter is zero )
Axial Stress
Where,
The term α has been introduced in the equation. This is known as column action
factor. What is a column action factor? This arises due the phenomenon of
buckling of long slender members which are acted upon by axial compressive
loads.
Where,
9
n = 2.25 for fixed end
L = shaft length
Where,
Both bending and axial stresses are normal stresses, hence the net normal stress is
given by,
The net normal stress can be either positive or negative. Normally, shear stress due
to torsion is only considered in a shaft and shear stress due to load on the shaft is
neglected.
10
Design of the shaft mostly uses maximum shear stress theory. It states that a
machine member fails when the maximum shear stress at a point exceeds the
maximum allowable shear stress for the shaft material. Therefore,
Substituting the values of σx and τxy in the above equation, the final form is,
Therefore, the shaft diameter can be calculated in terms of external loads and
material properties. However, the above equation is further standardized for steel
shafting in terms of allowable design stress and load factors in ASME design code
for shaft.

METAL STRIP
Specifications
Length: 50cm
Width: 5cm
Thickness: 4mm
Metal strip is narrow, thin stock that is usually 3/16 in. (4.76 mm) or less in
thickness and under 24 in. (609.6 mm) in width. Metal strips are formed to
precise thicknesses and/or width requirements.
Selection Criteria
Selection of metal strip is usually based first on a design’s required size and
dimensions, and then on either material types or grades as certain design
specifications or application constraints require. Substitute materials can be
selected and qualified based on the required material properties. Laboratory,
performance, or field testing is used to verify performance in some cases.
12
BALL BEARING
Ball bearings tend to have lower load capacity for their size than other kinds
of rolling-element bearings due to the smaller contact area between the balls and
races. However, they can tolerate some misalignment of the inner and outer races.
SPECIFICATION
OPERATING CONDITION
LIFESPAN
Further information: Rolling-element_bearing § Bearing_failure
The calculated life for a bearing is based on the load it carries and its
operating speed. The industry standard usable bearing lifespan is inversely
proportional to the bearing load cubed. Nominal maximum load of a bearing, is for
a lifespan of 1 million rotations, which at 50 Hz (i.e., 3000 RPM) is a lifespan of
13
5.5 working hours. 90% of bearings of that type have at least that lifespan, and
50% of bearings have a lifespan at least 5 times as long.
The industry standard life calculation is based upon the work of Lundberg
and Palmgren performed in 1947. The formula assumes the life to be limited
by metal fatigue and that the life distribution can be described by a Weibull
distribution. Many variations of the formula exist that include factors for material
properties, lubrication, and loading. Factoring for loading may be viewed as a tacit
admission that modern materials demonstrate a different relationship between load
and life than Lundberg and Palmgrendetermined .
MAXIMUM LOAD
Bearings have static load ratings. These are based on not exceeding a certain
amount of plastic deformation in the raceway. These ratings may be exceeded by a
large amount for certain applications.
LUBRICATION
For a bearing to have its nominal lifespan at its nominal maximum load, it
must be lubricated with a lubricant (oil or grease) that has at least the minimum
dynamic viscosity
14
For a bearing where average of outer diameter of bearing and diameter of
axle hole is 50 mm, and that is rotating at 3000 RPM, recommended dynamic
viscosity is 12 mm²/s.
APPLICATION
In general, ball bearings are used in most applications that involve moving
parts. Some of these applications have specific features and requirements:
Hard drive bearings used to be highly spherical, and were said to be the best
spherical manufactured shapes, but this is no longer true, and more and more
are being replaced with fluid bearings.
German ball bearing factories were often a target of allied aerial bombings
during World War II; such was the importance of the ball bearing to the German
war industry.[8]
15
Fidget Spinner
A skateboard wheel contains two bearings, which are subject to both axial
and radial time-varying loads. Most commonly bearing 608-2Z is used (a deep
groove ball bearing from series 60 with 8 mm bore diameter)
Yo-Yos, there are ball bearings in the center of many new, ranging from
beginner to professional or competition grade, Yo-Yos.
Many fidget spinner toys use multiple ball bearings to add weight, and to
allow the toy to spin.

Hub material: steel
Tire: PLASTIC
Materials:
The materials of modern pneumatic tires can be divided into two groups, the
cords that make up the ply and the elastomer which encases them.
18
VEHICAL APPLICATION
Tires are classified into several standard types, based on the type of vehicle
they serve. Since the manufacturing process, raw materials, and equipment vary
according to the tire type, it is common for tire factories to specialize in one or
more tire types. In most markets, factories that manufacture passenger and light
truck radial tires are separate and distinct from those that make aircraf or off-
the-road (OTR) tires

SPROCKET
Chain drive is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another.
It is often used to convey power to the wheels of a vehicle,
particularly bicycles and motorcycles. It is also used in a wide variety of machines
besides vehicles.
Most often, the power is conveyed by a roller chain, known as the drive
chain or transmission chain, passing over a sprocket gear, with the teeth of the
gear meshing with the holes in the links of the chain. The gear is turned, and this
pulls the chain putting mechanical force into the system.
Sometimes the power is output by simply rotating the chain, which can be used to
lift or drag objects. In other situations, a second gear is placed and the power is
recovered by attaching shafts or hubs to this gear. Though drive chains are often
simple oval loops, they can also go around corners by placing more than two gears
along the chain; gears that do not put power into the system or transmit it out are
generally known as idler-wheels. By varying the diameter of the input and output
gears with respect to each other, the gear ratio can be altered. For example, when
the bicycle pedals' gear rotate once, it causes the gear that drives the wheels to
rotate more than one revolution.

USES IN VEHICLES
Chain drive was the main feature which differentiated the safety
bicycle introduced in 1885, with its two equal-sized wheels, from the direct-
drive penny-farthing or "high wheeler" type of bicycle. The popularity of the
chain-driven safety bicycle brought about the demise of the penny-farthing, and is
still a basic feature of bicycle design today.
AUTOMOBILES

Chain drive was a popular power transmission system from the earliest days
of the automobile. It gained prominence as an alternative to
the SystèmePanhard with its rigid Hotchkiss driveshaft and universal joints.
A chain-drive system uses one or more roller chains to transmit power from
a differential to the rear axle. This system allowed for a great deal of vertical axle
movement (for example, over bumps), and was simpler to design and build than a
rigid driveshaft in a workable suspension. Also, it had less unsprung weight at the
rear wheels than the Hotchkiss drive, which would have had the weight of the
23
driveshaft and differential to carry as well. This meant that the vehicle would have
a smoother ride. The lighter unsprung mass would allow the suspension to react to
bumps more effectively.
Frazer Nash were strong proponents of this system using one chain per gear
selected by dog clutches. The Frazer Nash chain drive system, (designed for
the GN Cyclecar Company by Archibald Frazer-Nash and Henry Ronald Godfrey)
was very effective, allowing extremely fast gear selections. The Frazer Nash (or
GN) transmission system provided the basis for many "special" racing cars of the
1920s and 1930s, the most famous being Basil Davenport's Spider which held the
outright record at the Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb in the 1920s.
The last popular chain drive automobile was the Honda S600 of the 1960s.

DISK
25
Material: Mild steel
Thickness: 5mm
26
In geometry, a disk is the region in a plane bounded by a circle. A disk is said to
be closed if it contains the circle that constitutes its boundary.
The open disk and the closed disk are not topologically equivalent (that is, they are
not homeomorphic), as they have different topological properties from each other.
For instance, every closed disk is compact whereas every open disk is not
compact. However from the viewpoint of algebraic topology they share many
properties: both of them are contractible and so are homotopic equivalent to a
single point. This implies that their fundamental groups are trivial, and
all homology groups are trivial except the 0th one, which is isomorphic to Z.
The Euler characteristic of a point (and therefore also that of a closed or open disk)
is 1.
Every continuous map from the closed disk to itself has at least one fixed point;
this is the case n=2 of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. The statement is false for
the open disk:
Which maps every point of the open unit disk to another point on the open unit
disk to the right of the given one. But for the closed unit disk it fixes every point on
the half circle

Let, Y.S. of mild steel(Y)=250 N/mm^2
Now ,Allowable Shear Stress(S)=Y*0.5 =250*0.5 =125 N/mm^2
Let, F.O.S.(F)=2.5
Therefore, Allowable Shear Stress=S/F =125/2.5 = 50 N/mm^2
Also, Let Polar moment of Inertia is "J" and the Radius of shaft "R"(also the
maximum distance from center)
Now, W= (2*3.14*N)/60

METAL FRAME:
30
The metal frame is generally made of mild steel bars for machining,
suitable for lightly stressed components including studs, bolts, gears and
shafts. It can be case-hardened to improve wear resistance. They are
available in bright rounds, squares and flats, and hot rolled rounds

SAWING:
Cold saws are saws that make use of a circular saw blade to cut through
various types of metal, including sheet metal. The name of the saw has to do with
the action that takes place during the cutting process, which manages to keep both
the metal and the blade from becoming too hot. A cold saw is powered with
electricity and is usually a stationary type of saw machine rather than a portable
type of saw.
32
The circular saw blades used with a cold saw are often constructed of high
speed steel. Steel blades of this type are resistant to wear even under daily usage.
The end result is that it is possible to complete a number of cutting projects before
there is a need to replace the blade.High speed steel blades are especially useful
when the saws are used for cutting through thicker sections of metal.
WELDING:
33
Welding is used for making permanent joints. It is used in the manufacture
of automobile bodies, aircraft frames, railway wagons, machine frames, structural
works, tanks, furniture, boilers, general repair work and ship building.
OPERATION:
Several welding processes are based on heating with an electric arc, only a
few are considered here, starting with the oldest, simple arc welding, also known
as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) or stick welding.
34
against the work piece which initiates an electric arc. The high temperature
generated (about 6000oC) almost instantly produces a molten pool and the end of
the electrode continuously melts into this pool and forms the joint.
The operator needs to control the gap between the electrode tip and the work
piece while moving the electrode along the joint.
DRILLNG:
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of
circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is a rotary cutting tool, often
multipoint. The bit is pressed against the work piece and rotated at rates from
hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute. This forces the cutting edge
against the work piece, cutting off chips (sward) from the hole as it is drille
