A strip of $$120mm$$ width and $$8mm$$ thickness is rolled between two $$300$$ $$mm$$-diameter rolls to get a strip of $$120mm$$ width and $$7.2mm$$ thickness. The speed of the strip at the exit is $$30m/min.$$ There is no front or back tension. Assuming uniform roll pressure of $$200$$ $$MPa$$ in the roll bite and $$100\% $$ mechanical efficiency, the minimum total power (in $$kW$$) required to drive the two rolls is ____________________

A $$300$$ $$mm$$ thick slab is being cold rolled ussing roll of $$600$$ $$mm$$ diameter. If the coefficient of friction is $$0.08,$$ the maximum possible reduction (in $$mm$$) is _______

A $$300$$ $$mm$$ thick slab is being cold rolled using roll of $$600$$ $$mm$$ diameter. If the coefficient of friction is $$0.08,$$ the maximum possible reduction (in $$mm$$) is _______________

In a slab rolling operation, the maximum thickness reduction $$\left( {\Delta {h_{\max }}} \right)$$ is given by $$\Delta {h_{\max }} = {\mu ^2}R,$$ where $$R$$ is the radius of the roll and $$\mu $$ is the coefficient of friction between the roll and the sheet. If $$\mu = 0.1,$$ the maximum angle subtended by the deformation zone at the center of the roll (bit angle in degrees) is ____________
