Find the solidification time of the two iron castings when both are poured (with no superheats) into the sand molds at initial temperature 28°C.

(i) A slab shaped casting of 10 cm thickness, (ii) a sphere of 10 cm in dia. Iron: freezing temp: 1540°C; L= 272 kJ/kg; density = 7850 kg/m3 Sand: c = 1.17 kJ/kg-K; k = 0.865 W/mk; density = 1600 kg/m3

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Manometers are good examples of measuring instruments, nowadays they are not as common as before. a)-capacitive probe gauges b)-gravitational gauges deformation ) gauges d)-digital gauges

The proportional limit is always greater than the yield strength for a material. a)-trune b)- false
