Cast iron or steel molds are used in a horizontalspindle machine to make tubular castings such as liners and tubes. A charge of molten metal is poured into the spinning mold. The radial acceleration permits nearly uniformly thick wall sections to form. A steel liner, of length \(L=6 \mathrm{ft}\), outer radius \(r_{o}=6\) in. and inner radius \(r_{i}=4\) in., is to be formed by this process. To attain nearly uniform thickness, the angular velocity should be at least 300 rpm. Determine (a) the resulting radial acceleration on the inside surface of the liner and (b) the maximum and minimum pressures on the surface of the mold.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The resulting radial acceleration on the inner surface is \(100.45\) m/s\(^2\). The maximum pressure on the surface of the mold is \(1.20*\)10\(^6\) Pa, while the minimum pressure is \(0.80*\)10\(^6\) Pa.

Step by step solution

01

Conversion of measurements

Change all the measurements into a consistent unit system. Here, SI units will be used. Thus, \(L=6\) ft \(= 1.83\) m, \(r_{o}=6\) in. \(= 0.1524\) m and \(r_{i}=4\) in. \(= 0.1016\) m. Additionally, convert the angular velocity to radians per second by multiplying by \(\frac{2\pi}{60}\), which gives \(31.42\) rad/sec.
02

Calculate radial acceleration

Find the radial acceleration on the inner surface of the liner. The formula for radial acceleration is \(a = \omega^2 r\), where \(\omega\) is the angular velocity and \(r\) is the radius. Here, we plug in \(\omega = 31.42\) rad/sec and \(r = r_{i} = 0.1016\) m to get \(a = (31.42)^2 * 0.1016 = 100.45\) m/s\(^2\).
03

Compute Maximum Pressure

To find the maximum pressure on the surface of the mold, use the pressure formula \(P = a \rho h\), where \(a\) is acceleration, \(\rho\) is the density of the molten material (steel in this case, its density is \(7850\) kg/m\(^3\)), and \(h\) is the height equivalent to the outer radius. So the maximum pressure \(P_{max} = 100.45 * 7850 * 0.1524 = 1.20*\)10\(^6\) Pa.
04

Compute Minimum Pressure

The minimum pressure is calculated using the same formula as in step 3, however with the height equivalent to the inner radius. Thus, the minimum pressure \(P_{min} = 100.45 * 7850 * 0.1016 = 0.80*\)10\(^6\) Pa.

Gas bubbles are released from the regulator of a submerged scuba diver. What happens to the bubbles as they rise through the seawater? Explain.

An open tank is filled to the top with water. A steel cylindrical container, wall thickness \(\delta=1 \mathrm{mm},\) outside diameter \(D=100 \mathrm{mm},\) and height \(H=1 \mathrm{m},\) with an open top, is gently placed in the water. What is the volume of water that overflows from the tank? How many 1 kg weights must be placed in the container to make it sink? Neglect surface tension effects.

A cylindrical timber, with \(D=1 \mathrm{ft}\) and \(L=15 \mathrm{ft}\), is weighted on its lower end so that it floats vertically with \(10 \mathrm{ft}\) submerged in seawater. When displaced vertically from its equilibrium position, the timber oscillates or "heaves" in a vertical direction upon release, Estimate the frequency of oscillation in this heave mode. Neglect viscous effects and water motion.

The cross-sectional shape of a canoe is modeled by the curve \(y=a x^{2},\) where \(a=1.2 \mathrm{ft}^{-1}\) and the coordinates are in feet. Assume the width of the canoe is constant at \(w=2 \mathrm{ft}\) over its entire length \(L=18 \mathrm{ft}\). Set up a general algebraic expression relating the total mass of the canoe and its contents to distance \(d\) between the water surface and the gunwale of the floating canoe. Calculate the maximum total mass allowable without swamping the canoe.

When a water polo ball is submerged below the surface in a swimming pool and released from rest, it is observed to pop out of the water. How would you expect the height to which it rises above the water to vary with depth of submersion below the surface? Would you expect the same results for a beach ball? For a table-tennis ball?
