The downsprue leading into the runner of a certain mold has a length of 175 mm. The cross-sectional area at the base of the sprue is 400 mm2 . The mold cavity has a volume of 0.001 m3 . Determine (a) the velocity of the molten metal flowing through the base of the downsprue, (b) the volume rate of flow, and (c) the time required to fill the mold cavity.

(a) Velocity at bottom is 1.85 m/s

(b) Volume flow rate is 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s.

(c) The time required to fill the mold is 1.35 s.

Explanation:

(a)

Applying Bernoulli's Equation on both ends of the down sprue, with the assumptions that every point is at atmospheric pressure and the liquid metal at the pouring basin is at zero velocity. The equation then becomes:

V = √2gh

where,

V = velocity at bottom of down sprue

h = height of down sprue = 175 mm = 0.175 m

V = √2(9.8 m/s²)(0.175 m)

V = 1.85 m/s

(b)

The volume flow rate is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = (V)(A)

where,

V = velocity at bottom = 1.85 m/s

A = Area of bottom = 400 mm² = 0.0004 m²

Therefore,

Volume Flow Rate = (1.85 m/s)(0.0004 m²)

Volume Flow Rate = 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s = 740 cm³/s

(c)

The time required to fill the cavity is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = V/t

where,

V = Volume of mold Cavity = 0.001 m³

t = time required to fill the cavity = ?

Therefore,

t = V/Volume Flow Rate

t = 0.001 m³/7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s

t = 1.35 s

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
