Question

The downsprue leading into the runner of a certain mold has alenght =175mm. The cross-sectional area at the base of the sprue is400mm2. The mold cavity has a volume=0.001m3.Determine a) The velocity of the molten metal flowing through the baseof the downsprue b) The volume rate of flow. c) The time required to fill the mold cavity.

Explanation / Answer

(a) Velocity v = (2 x 9815 x 175)0.5 = (3,435,096)0.5 = 1853 mm/s

(b) Volume flow rate Q = vA = 1853 x 400 = 741,200 mm3/s

(c) Time to fill cavity TMF = V/Q = 1,000,000/741,200 = 1.35
