Question

at the metal-casting company where i work, i must set up a conveyor system to move castings from the furnace to the heat treatment area 55 yards away. the castings cool at the rate of 0.03 degrees fahrehnheit per second and must not be allowed to cool more that 7 degree's fahrenheit before being heat rtreated. what is the minimum speed per second that the conveyor must move?

Answer 1

Maximum time allowed = 7 deg. / 0.03 deg/s = 233.3 s
Minimum speed = 55 yd * 3 ft/yd / 233.3 s
= 0.707 ft/s
