15. A cold-chamber die-casting machine operates automatically, supported by two industrial robots.The machine produces two zinc

castings per cycle. One robot ladles molten metal into the chamber each cycle, and the other unloads the two castings from the machine and sprays lubricant onto the die cavities. Cycle time = 0.85 min. Each casting weighs 0.75 lbm, and the gating system weighs 0.40 lbm. The gating system can be recycled to cast more parts. Die cost = $45,000. The total production run = 200,000 pc. Scrap rate = 3%. Assume reliability = 100%. Cost of zinc = $1.05/lbm. Melting temperature of zinc = 787F. Its density = 0.258 lbm/in3 , heat of fusion = 49 Btu/lbm, and specific heat = 0.091 Btu/lbmF (use the same values of density and specific heat for solid and molten zinc). Pouring temperature = 860F. Heat losses account for 35% of the energy used to heat the metal. Cost of power for heating = $0.15/kWh. The cost rate of the die casting machine = $57/hr, and the cost rate of each robot = $18/hr. As part of the operation sequence, the casting is trimmed from the gating system, which is done manually at a labor rate of $20.00/hr. The worker recycles the zinc from the gating system for remelting. Determine (a) unit energy for melting and pouring, (b) total cost per hour to operate the cell, and (c) cost per part

Answer:

a) The unit energy for melting and pouring is 121 Btu/lb

b) The total cost per hour is 368.31/h

c) The cost per part is 2.7/pc

Explanation:

a) The unit energy for melting and pouring is:

U=C_{p} (T_{m,Zn} -T_{0} )+deltaH_{fus}+C_{p}  (T_{p}- T_{0})

If we assume that the surrounding temperature is 70°F

U=0.091(787-70)+49+0.091(860-787)=121Btu/lb

b) The hourly production is:

R=(\frac{number-of-castings}{t_{cycle} } )*(1-scrap-rate)\\R=(\frac{2}{0.85min} *\frac{60min}{1h} )*(1-0.03)=136.9good-parts/h

The total weight of zinc is:

W_{total} =(\frac{number-of-castings}{t_{cycle} } )*(2*weight-of-casting)\\R=(\frac{2}{0.85min} *\frac{60min}{1h} )*(2*0.75)=211.8lb

The total cost of zinc is:

C=W_{total} *cost-of-zinc=211.8*1.05=222.3 $

The total heat transfer is:

Q=(\frac{number-of-castings}{t_{cycle} } )*((2*weight-of-casting)+gating-system-weight)*U\\Q=(\frac{2}{0.85min} *\frac{60min}{1h} )*((2*0.75)+0.4))*121=32462Btu/h=541Btu/min

541 Btu/min = 9.51 kW

The power is:

Power=\frac{Q}{1-Q_{loss} } =\frac{9.51}{1-0.35} =14.6kW

The hourly cost is:

C_{H} =P*cost-of-power-for-heating=14.6*0.15=2.2/h

The cost for die casting is:

C_{d} =cost-rate-of-die-casting+(2*cost-of-each-robot)=57+(2*18)=93/h

The die cost per casting is:

C_{die,casting} =\frac{45000}{200000} =0.225/pc

The hourly rate is:

Hourly-rate=R*C_{d,casting} =136.9*0.225=30.81/h

The total cost per hour is:

C_{total} =C+C_{H} +C_{d} +C_{1} +Hourly-time=222.35+2.2+93+20+30.81=368.31/h

c) The cost per part is:

C_{per part} =\frac{C_{total} }{R} =\frac{368.36}{136.9} =2.7/pc

HOW TO CALCULATE MARGINAL RATE
Basile [38]

Answer:

Divide the difference in tax by the amount of income from the investment, and you'll get the economic marginal tax rate from investing. Most people refer to marginal tax rates as being identical to tax brackets.

hope this helps

A well-insulated, rigid tank has a volume of 1 m3and is initially evacuated. A valve is opened,and the surrounding air enters at
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

0.5 kW

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Volume of tank = 1 m³

Pressure of air entering tank = 1 bar

Temperature of air = 27°C = 300.15 K

Temperature after heating  = 477 °C = 750.15 K

V₂ = 1 m³

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = P₂

V₁ = T₁×V₂/T₂ = 300.15 * 1 /750.15 = 0.4 m³

dQ = m \times c_p \times (T_2 -T_1)

For ideal gas, c_p = 5/2×R = 5/2*0.287 = 0.7175 kJ

PV = NKT

N = PV/(KT) = 100000×1/(750.15×1.38×10⁻²³)

N = 9.66×10²⁴

Number of moles of air = 9.66×10²⁴/(6.02×10²³) = 16.05 moles

The average mass of one mole of air = 28.8 g

Therefore, the total mass = 28.8*16.05 = 462.135 g = 0.46 kg

∴ dQ = 0.46*0.7175*(750.15 - 300.15) = 149.211 kJ

The power input required = The rate of heat transfer = 149.211/(60*5)

The power input required = 0.49737 kW ≈ 0.5 kW.

The velocity of a particle which moves along the s-axis is given by = 40 − 3 2/ , ℎ t is in seconds. Calculate the displacement
scoundrel [369]

The displacement ∆S of the particle during the interval from t = 2sec to 4sec is; 210 sec

<h3>How to find the displacement?</h3>

We are given the velocity equation as;

s' = 40 - 3t²

Thus, the speed equation will be gotten by integration of the velocity equation to get;

s = ∫40 - 3t²

s = 40t - ¹/₂t³

Thus, the displacement between times of t = 2 sec and t = 4 sec is;

∆S = [40(4) - ¹/₂(4)³] - [40(2) - ¹/₂(2)³]

∆S = 210 m
