Three tool materials (high-speed steel, cemented carbide, and ceramic) are to be compared for the same turning operation on a ba

tch of 50 steel parts. For the high-speed steel tool, the Taylor equation parameters are n = 0.130 and C = 80 (m/min). The price of the HSS tool is $20.00, and it is estimated that it can be ground and reground 15 times at a cost of $2.00 per grind. Tool change time is 3 min. Both carbide and ceramic tools are inserts and can be held in the same mechanical toolholder. The Taylor equation parameters for the cemented carbide are n = 0.30 and C = 650 (m/min), and for the ceramic: n = 0.6 and C = 3500 (m/min). The cost per insert for the carbide is $8.00, and for the ceramic is $10.00. There are six cutting edges per insert in both cases. Tool change time = 1.0 min for both tools. The time to change a part = 2.5 min. Feed = 0.30 mm/rev, and depth of cut = 3.5 mm. Cost of operator and machine time = $40/hr. Part diameter = 73 mm, and length = 250 mm. Setup time for the batch = 2.0 hr. For the three tooling cases, compare (a) cutting speeds for minimum cost, (b) tool lives, (c) cycle time, (d) cost per production unit, and (e) total time to complete the batch. (f) What is the proportion of time spent actually cutting metal for each tool material?

Answer:

Among all three tools, the ceramic tool is taking the least time for the production of a batch, however, machining from the HSS tool is taking the highest time.

Explanation:

The optimum cutting speed for the minimum cost

V_{opt}= \frac{C}{\left[\left(T_c+\frac{C_e}{C_m}\right)\left(\frac{1}{n}-1\right)\right]^n}\;\cdots(i)

Where,

C,n = Taylor equation parameters

T_h =Tool changing time in minutes

C_e=Cost per grinding per edge

C_m= Machine and operator cost per minute

On comparing with the Taylor equation VT^n=C,

Tool life,

T= \left[ \left(T_t+\frac{C_e}{C_m}\right)\left(\frac{1}{n}-1\right)\right]}\;\cdots(ii)

Given that,  

Cost of operator and machine time=\$40/hr=\$0.667/min

Batch setting time = 2 hr

Part handling time: T_h=2.5 min

Part diameter: D=73 mm =73\times 10^{-3} m

Part length: l=250 mm=250\times 10^{-3} m

Feed: f=0.30 mm/rev= 0.3\times 10^{-3} m/rev

Depth of cut: d=3.5 mm

For the HSS tool:

Tool cost is $20 and it can be ground and reground 15 times and the grinding= $2/grind.

So, C_e= \$20/15+2=\$3.33/edge

Tool changing time, T_t=3 min.

C= 80 m/min

n=0.130

(a) From equation (i), cutting speed for the minimum cost:

V_{opt}= \frac {80}{\left[ \left(3+\frac{3.33}{0.667}\right)\left(\frac{1}{0.13}-1\right)\right]^{0.13}}

\Rightarrow 47.7 m/min

(b) From equation (ii), the tool life,

T=\left(3+\frac{3.33}{0.667}\right)\left(\frac{1}{0.13}-1\right)\right]}

\Rightarrow T=53.4 min

(c) Cycle time: T_c=T_h+T_m+\frac{T_t}{n_p}

where,

T_m= Machining time for one part

n_p= Number of pieces cut in one tool life

T_m= \frac{l}{fN} min, where N=\frac{V_{opt}}{\pi D} is the rpm of the spindle.

\Rightarrow T_m= \frac{\pi D l}{fV_{opt}}

\Rightarrow T_m=\frac{\pi \times 73 \times 250\times 10^{-6}}{0.3\times 10^{-3}\times 47.7}=4.01 min/pc

So, the number of parts produced in one tool life

n_p=\frac {T}{T_m}

\Rightarrow n_p=\frac {53.4}{4.01}=13.3

Round it to the lower integer

\Rightarrow n_p=13

So, the cycle time

T_c=2.5+4.01+\frac{3}{13}=6.74 min/pc

(d) Cost per production unit:

C_c= C_mT_c+\frac{C_e}{n_p}

\Rightarrow C_c=0.667\times6.74+\frac{3.33}{13}=\$4.75/pc

(e) Total time to complete the batch= Sum of setup time and production time for one batch

=2\times60+ {50\times 6.74}{50}=457 min=7.62 hr.

(f) The proportion of time spent actually cutting metal

=\frac{50\times4.01}{457}=0.4387=43.87\%

Now, for the cemented carbide tool:

Cost per edge,

C_e= \$8/6=\$1.33/edge

Tool changing time, T_t=1min

C= 650 m/min

n=0.30

(a) Cutting speed for the minimum cost:

V_{opt}= \frac {650}{\left[ \left(1+\frac{1.33}{0.667}\right)\left(\frac{1}{0.3}-1\right)\right]^{0.3}}=363m/min [from(i)]

(b) Tool life,

T=\left[ \left(1+\frac{1.33}{0.667}\right)\left(\frac{1}{0.3}-1\right)\right]=7min [from(ii)]

(c) Cycle time:

T_c=T_h+T_m+\frac{T_t}{n_p}

T_m= \frac{\pi D l}{fV_{opt}}

\Rightarrow T_m=\frac{\pi \times 73 \times 250\times 10^{-6}}{0.3\times 10^{-3}\times 363}=0.53min/pc

n_p=\frac {7}{0.53}=13.2

\Rightarrow n_p=13 [ nearest lower integer]

So, the cycle time

T_c=2.5+0.53+\frac{1}{13}=3.11 min/pc

(d) Cost per production unit:

C_c= C_mT_c+\frac{C_e}{n_p}

\Rightarrow C_c=0.667\times3.11+\frac{1.33}{13}=\$2.18/pc

(e) Total time to complete the batch=2\times60+ {50\times 3.11}{50}=275.5 min=4.59 hr.

(f) The proportion of time spent actually cutting metal

=\frac{50\times0.53}{275.5}=0.0962=9.62\%

Similarly, for the ceramic tool:

C_e= \$10/6=\$1.67/edge

T_t-1min

C= 3500 m/min

n=0.6

(a) Cutting speed:

V_{opt}= \frac {3500}{\left[ \left(1+\frac{1.67}{0.667}\right)\left(\frac{1}{0.6}-1\right)\right]^{0.6}}

\Rightarrow V_{opt}=2105 m/min

(b) Tool life,

T=\left[ \left(1+\frac{1.67}{0.667}\right)\left(\frac{1}{0.6}-1\right)\right]=2.33 min

(c) Cycle time:

T_c=T_h+T_m+\frac{T_t}{n_p}

\Rightarrow T_m=\frac{\pi \times 73 \times 250\times 10^{-6}}{0.3\times 10^{-3}\times 2105}=0.091 min/pc

n_p=\frac {2.33}{0.091}=25.6

\Rightarrow n_p=25 pc/tool\; life

So,

T_c=2.5+0.091+\frac{1}{25}=2.63 min/pc

(d) Cost per production unit:

C_c= C_mT_c+\frac{C_e}{n_p}

\Rightarrow C_c=0.667\times2.63+\frac{1.67}{25}=$1.82/pc

(e) Total time to complete the batch

=2\times60+ {50\times 2.63}=251.5 min=4.19 hr.

(f) The proportion of time spent actually cutting metal

=\frac{50\times0.091}{251.5}=0.0181=1.81\%

Steam enters a turbine at 120 bar, 508oC. At the exit, the pressure and quality are 50 kPa and 0.912, respectively. Determine th
Archy [21]

Answer:

The turbine produces <u>955.53 KW</u> power.

Explanation:

Taking the turbine as a system. Applying Law of Conservation of Energy:

m(h₁ - h₂) - Heat Loss = P

where,

m = mass flow rate of steam = 1.31 kg/s

h₁ = enthalpy at state 1 (120 bar and 508°C)

h₂ = enthalpy at state 2 (50 KPa and x = 0.912)

Heat Loss = 225 KW

P = Power generated by turbine = ?

First, we find h₁ from super steam tables:

At,

T = 508°C

P = 120 bar = 12000 KPa = 12 MPa

we find that steam is in super-heated state with enthalpy:

Due to unavailibility of values in chart we approximate the state to 500° C and 12.5 MPa:

h₁ = 3343.6 KJ/kg

Now, for state 2, we have:

P = 50 KPa and x = 0.912

From saturated steam table:

h₂ = hf₂ + x(hfg₂) = 340.54 KJ/kg + (0.912)(2304.7 KJ/kg)

h₂ = 2442.4 KJ/kg

Now, using values in the conservation equation:

(1.31 kg/s)(3343.6 KJ/kg - 2442.4 KJ/kg) - 225 KW = P

<u>P = 955.53 KW</u>

Answer:

the three part are mass, spring, damping

Explanation:

vibrating system consist of three elementary system namely

1) Mass - it is a rigid body due to which system experience vibration and kinetic energy due to vibration is directly proportional to velocity of the body.

2) Spring -  the part that has elasticity and help to hold mass

3) Damping - this part considered to have zero mass and  zero elasticity.

The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500kJ/h per °C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

Rearrange the equation

\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

15.24°C

Convert 250 lb·ft to N.m. Express your answer using three significant figures.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

It will be equivalent to 338.95 N-m

Explanation:

We have to convert 250 lb-ft to N-m

We know that 1 lb = 4.45 N

So foe converting from lb to N we have to multiply with 4.45

So 250 lb = 250×4.45 =125 N

And we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 meter

Now we have to convert 250 lb-ft to N-m

So 250lb-ft=250\times 4.45N\times 0.348M=338.95N-m

So 250 lb-ft = 338.95 N-m

An excavation is at risk for cave-in and water accumulation because of the excess soil that has accumulated. What type of excava
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Among the different types of excavation protection system, as a way of preventing accidents against cave-ins, the sloping involves cutting back the trench wall at an angle inclined away from the excavation. Shoring requires installing aluminum hydraulic or other types of supports to prevent soil movement and cave-ins. Shielding protects workers by using trench boxes or other types of supports to prevent soil cave-ins (OSHA). In addition, the regulations do not allow employees to work on excavations where there is an accumulation of water. If this occurs, water on the site must be constantly removed by suitable equipment preventing water from accumulating. The entry of surface water into the excavations must also be prevented by means of diversion ditches, dam, or other suitable means.
