They both have advantages and drawbacks.
Most chain drive systems eliminate slip between components and work very much like a gear-to-gear mechanism. With larger components though, the chain drive can get too heavy. It can get to the point were it is not economical to produce the chain or (due to power loss in moving it) use it to drive components.
With a belt drive system, there is greater possibility of slippage and the components are not linked ad securely. Energy is lost in the pulleys sliding around the belt as opposed to powering the other components on the wheel. On the other hand, belts are lighter and cheaper to produce, so after a certain point it is more efficient to use a belt.
yes, but not as efficient as other sources that polute more
It is to slow down the neutrons produced in fission. U-235 and Pu-239 capture slow neutrons much more readily than they do fast neutrons, so it makes the chain reaction much more efficient.
someone please answer this question i need help wth it too

"Belt drive" refers to the type of final drive from the gearbox to the rear wheel. Traditionally, bikes have a chain & sprockets. More recently, some manufacturers have replaced the chain with a belt on some models. The belt works in exactly the same way as the chain, and some say that belts are harder wearing than chains. (They are certainly less likely to develope tight-spots).
I'm sure it is possible with a bunch of work, but why would you want to? A chain drive is heavier, requires more maintenance, will not last as long and is safer. Chain drive requires rear wheel adjustment every 300 to 3000 miles (depending on the model), lubrication with special chain grease (do NOT use WD-40 or 3-in-1), and if a chain comes off the sprocket, you are facing a rear-wheel lockup which can cause a crash at speed. Belt drive requires no lube, no performance loss vs chain, and if you throw a belt it will become shredded which avoids a nasty rear-wheel lock.
Need more information. Year? Engine size? 2.5 belt, 3.0 belt, 3.3 chain, AFAIK 3.8 chain
There are a number of factors that would affect the answer to this question including torque, shaft speeds, load etc. This is why there are many methods of delivering force to remote locations (worm, belt, chain). I believe some of the advantages when working with belts are - reduced friction losses as the belt has more contact area - decreased energy loss through vibration (in effect a belt has vibration dampening) - belt breakage usually seperates the drive system causing little damge or danger unlike chain If someone can answer the physics side of this I would be most appreciative as most of these answers come from car knowlege (see variable belt drive vs. timing chain).
We will need some more details... Is it the drive belt or the belt for the blades?it is the drive belt for Murray lawn mower model 38618x92a
No, they are not the same.The "drive" belt's full name is *Accessory* drive belt - accessories like the power steering pump, water pump, a/c pump, etc.This is also very commonly referred to as the "serpentine" belt.And in the case of the Windstars, there should be no confusion because the engines use a timing chain - not a belt.See "Related Questions" below for more
more than likely you would have a belt the Cain drive ones were only on the 3.0 and you find belts on most of the newer stuff anyhow and cains are usually on a 6 cyl or higher ( timing CHAIN )
No
No! it has a chain belt. it is much more durable and convenient.
A belt drive is an alternative to a chain drive (as you would normally find on a bicycle or motorcycle). There are several types of belt used in belt drive systems including V-belts and toothed belts. The more common is the V-belt. A cross section of the pulley used shows that the belt runs in a V-shaped groove. Washing machines, older cars, and machinery use this type of belt system. The toothed belt is normally wide and flat with teeth on the inside to prevent slippage. Harley Davidson motorcycles use these, as do super-charged engines in cars.

No, the serpentine belt is used to drive more than one thing and tension is automatically adjust by way of a spring loaded idler pulley. Normally it will drive the alternator, power steering pump, & A/C compressor. A drive belt normally drives only one thing and tension is manually adjusted. A serpentine belt is wider that a drive belt and is not a V-Belt like a drive belt.
