A casting of size $$100\,\,mm \times 100\,\,mm \times 50\,\,mm$$ is required. Assume volume shrinkage of casting $$2.6\% $$. If the height of the riser is $$80$$ $$mm$$ and riser volume desired is $$4$$ times the shrinkage in casting, what is the appropriate riser diameter in $$mm?$$

Chapters are placed between mould and core surfaces in order to :

The height of the down sprue is $$175$$ $$mm$$ and its $$CS$$ area at the base is $$200\,\,m{m^2}.$$ The $$CS$$ area of the horizontal runner is also $$200$$ $$m{m^2}$$. Assuming no losses, indicate the correct choice for the time (seconds) required to fill a mold cavity of volume $${10^6}\,\,m{m^3}.$$ (use $$g=10$$ $$m/{s^2}$$)

The permeability of molding sand was determined using a saturated $$AFS$$ sample by passing $$2000cc$$ of air at a gage pressure of $$10$$ $$g/c{m^2}$$. If the time taken for the air to escape was $$1$$ min, the permeability number is:
