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

During a $$TIG$$ welding process, the arc current and arc voltage were $$50$$ $$A$$ and $$60$$ $$V,$$ respectively, when the welding speed was $$150$$ $$mm/min.$$ In another process, the $$TIG$$ welding is carried out at a welding speed of $$120mm/min$$ at the same arc welding voltage and heat input to the material so that weld quality remains the same. The welding current (in $$A$$) for this process is

A single point cutting tool with $${0^0}$$ rake angle is used in an orthogonal machining process. At a cutting speed of $$180$$ $$m/min$$ the thrust force is $$490N.$$ If the coefficient of friction between the tool and the chip is $$0.7.$$ Then the power consumption (in $$kW$$) for the machining operation is ____________
