Abstract
<p class="02abstracttext">Camshaft gear temperature simulations are presently crucial as they offer a distinctive visual account of the temperature profile within the generator, they permit superior manufacturing assessment and the design of heat-resistant camshaft gear with high performance and low cost. However, available information to designers is inadequate as they omit the approximate global maximum temperature, particularly for the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear in a 1.1 kVA elepaq generator. In this article, the idea is to simulate and account for the global minimum and maximum temperature using the Inventor and ANSYS software. The stress-induced on the generator was considered. The results of the simulation revealed an approximate global maximum temperature of the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear as 37°C max with 22°C min. Furthermore, the global minimum at 35°C max with 21°C min was considered. Besides, the structural steel global maximum of 38°C max, 25°C min and global minimum 35°C max, 24°C min. The stress values did not exceed 0.1419 MPa on ANSYS but the ANSYS revealed that the camshaft gear strain was within safe limits. The simulation approach predicts the minimum and maximum temperature of the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear and the stress and strain values. The utility of this attempt is to help designers to implement effective decisions on material choice and design parameters for optimisation, performance and low-cost design.</p>

In Nigeria, the energy supply crisis is deepening and the failure of the country's power sector to offer a sufficient supply of electricity to households and industries
The steps for the design and simulation of the cam and crankshaft gear discussed in this article are as follows: Step 1: The crankshaft and camshaft were purchased from a local Elepaq distributor
The maximum and minimum stress induced in 1 sec at driver speed value of 2500rpm and 4Nm torque and power of 1.1kw with a driven value of 1250 rpm and 8Nm torque and 98% power transmission efficiency was suggested through ANSYS solution
Summary
In Nigeria, the energy supply crisis is deepening and the failure of the country's power sector to offer a sufficient supply of electricity to households and industries. To solve this problem, individuals and small scale enterprises have adopted the use of generators to power homes and offices but at monitored costs. While the turning of the crankshaft positions the pistons in up and down movements within the cylinder, the motion of the camshaft often permits the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust values attached to cylinders. These components serve an important purpose in appropriate engine timing
