Pure aluminum is poured into a sand mold. the metal level in the pouring basin is 4.5 in. above the metal level in the mold, and the runner is circular with a 0.25 in diameter. the viscosity of the metal is 1.5e-07 lb-s/in2 and its density is 0.098 ib/in3 g 32.2 fsec 2

a) calculate the velocity of the metal when it gets into the mold.

b) calculate the flow rate of the metal when it gets into the mold.

c) calculate the reynolds number (re velocity*diameter*density/viscosity )

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.
