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 two stage wire drawing operation, the fractional reduction (ratio of change in cross sectional area to initial cross sectional area ) in the first stage is $$0.4.$$ The fractional reduction in the second stage is $$0.3.$$ The overall fractional reduction is
