All concepts →Two metal parts (a cylinder and a cube) of same volume are cast under identical conditions. The diameter of the cylinder is equal to its height. The ratio of the solidification tim...
Aluminium is casted in a cube-shaped mold having dimensions as 20 mm × 20 mm × 20 mm. Another mold of the same mold material is used to cast a sphere of aluminium having a diameter...
Aluminium is casted in a cube-shaped mold having dimensions as 20 mm × 20 mm × 20 mm. Another mold of the same mold material is used to cast a sphere of aluminium having a diameter...
Consider sand casting of a cube of edge length a. A cylindrical riser is placed at the top of the casting. Assume solidification time, t s ∝ V/A, where V is the volume and A is the...
For sand-casting a steel rectangular plate with dimensions 80 mm x 120 mm × 20 mm, a cylindrical riser has to be designed. The height of the riser is equal to its diameter. The tot...
Equal amounts of a liquid metal at the same temperature are poured into three moulds made of steel, copper and aluminum. The shape of the cavity is a cylinder with $$15$$ $$mm$$ di...
The solidification time of a casting is proportional to $${\left( {{V \over A}} \right)^2},$$ Where $$V$$ is the volume of the casting and $$A$$ is the total casting surface area l...
Ratio of solidification time of a cylindrical casting (height $$=$$ radius) to that of a cubic casting of side two times the height of cylindrical casting is ____________
A cube and a sphere made of cast iron (each of volume $$1000\,\,c{m^3}$$) were cast under identical conditions. The time taken for solidifying the cube was $$4$$ $$s.$$ The solidif...
A cylindrical riser of $$6$$ $$cm$$ diameter and $$6$$ $$cm$$ height has to be designed for a sand casting mould for producing a steel rectangular plate casting of $$7cm \times 10c...
A cube shaped casting solidifies in $$5$$ min. The solidification time in min for a cube of the same material, which is $$8$$ times heavier than the original casting, will be
For the case of molding, it is decided to replace a spherical riser of diameter $$100$$ $$mm$$ by a cylindrical riser. Determine size of the cylindrical riser that will have the id...
Volume of a cube of a side $$''l''$$ and volume of sphere of radius $$' r '$$ are equal. Both the cube and the sphere are solid and same material. They are being cast. The ratio of...
With a solidification factor of $$0.97 \times {10^6}s/{m^2},$$ the solidification time (in seconds) for a spherical casting of $$200$$ $$mm$$ diameter is
Two castings, a cube and a slab of the same material solidify under identical conditions. The volumes of the castings are equal but the slab dimensions are in the ratio of $$1:2:4$...
Two castings of the same metal have the same surface area one casting is in the form of a sphere and the other is a cube. What is the ratio of the solidification time for the spher...
Calculate the ratio of the solidification times of two steel cylindrical risers of sizes $$30cm$$ diameter by $$60$$ $$cm$$ in height and $$60cm$$ diameter by $$30$$ $$cm$$ in heig...
Two cubical castings of the same metal and sizes of $$2cm$$ side and $$4cm$$ side are moulded in green sand. If the smaller casting solidifies in $$2mins,$$ the expected time of so...
