A cube shaped casting solidifies in $$5$$ min. The solidification time in min for a cube of the same material, which is $$8$$ times heavier than the original casting, will be

Water $$\left( {{C_p} = 4.18\,kJ/kg.K} \right)$$ at $${80^ \circ }C$$ enters a counter flow heat exchanger with a mass flow rate of $$0.5kg/s.$$ Air $$\left( {{C_p} = 1\,kJ/kg.\,K} \right)$$ enters at $${80^ \circ }C$$ with a mass flow rate $$2.09$$ $$kg/s.$$ If the effectiveness of the heat exchanger is $$0.8,$$ the $$LMTD$$ (in $$^ \circ C$$) is

Two cutting tools are being compared for a machining operation. The tool life equations are:
$$\eqalign{ & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Carbi{\mathop{\rm de}\nolimits} \,\,tool:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{1.6}} = 3000 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,HSS\,\,tool:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{0.6}} = 200 \cr} $$

Where $$V$$ is the cutting speed in $$m/min$$ and $$T$$ is the tool life in $$min.$$ The carbide tool will provide higher tool life if the cutting speed in $$m/min$$ exceeds

Details pertaining to an orthogonal metal cutting process are given below.

Chip thickness ratio $$0.4$$
