In casting experiments performed using a certain alloy and type of sand mold, it took 170 sec for a cube-shaped casting to solidify. The cube was 50 mm on a side.

a. Determine the value of the mold constant in Chvorinov's rule.
b. If the same alloy and mold type were used, find the total solidification time for a cylindrical casting in which the diameter = 50 mm and length = 50 mm.

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise

Most leaks in reciprocating air compressors can be detected and minimized by: (clo4) a)-detecting leakage areas using ultrasonic acoustic detector. b)-tightening joints and connections c)-replacing faulty equipment d)-all of the given options
