Explanation:

The two types of furnaces used in steel production are:

Basic oxygen furnace

In basic oxygen furnace, iron is combined with the varying amounts of the steel scrap and also small amounts of the flux in the Blast Furnace. Lance is introduced in vessel and blows about 99% of the pure oxygen causing rise in temperature to about 1700°C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities are oxidized and results in the liquid steel.

Electric arc furnace

Electric arc furnace reuses existing steel. Furnace is charged with the steel scrap. It operates on basis of electrical charge between the two electrodes providing heat for process. Power is supplied through electrodes placed in furnace, which produce arc of the electricity through scrap steel which raises temperature to about 1600˚C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities can be removed through use of the fluxes and results in the liquid steel.

A flywheel made of Grade 30 cast iron (UTS = 217 MPa, UCS = 763 MPa, E = 100 GPa, density = 7100 Kg/m, Poisson's ratio = 0.26) h

hram777 [196]

Answer:

N = 38546.82 rpm

Explanation:

$D_{1}$ = 150 mm

$A_{1}= \frac{\pi }{4}\times 150^{2}$

= 17671.45 $mm^{2}$

$D_{2}$ = 250 mm

$A_{2}= \frac{\pi }{4}\times 250^{2}$

= 49087.78 $mm^{2}$

The centrifugal force acting on the flywheel is fiven by

F = M ( $R_{2}$ - $R_{1}$ ) x $w^{2}$ ------------(1)

Here F = ( -UTS x $A_{1}$ + UCS x $A_{2}$ )

Since density, $\rho = \frac{M}{V}$

$\rho = \frac{M}{A\times t}$

$M = \rho \times A\times t$ $M = 7100 \times \frac{\pi }{4}\left ( D_{2}^{2}-D_{1}^{2} \right )\times t$

$M = 7100 \times \frac{\pi }{4}\left ( 250^{2}-150^{2} \right )\times 37$

$M = 8252963901$

∴ $R_{2}$ - $R_{1}$ = 50 mm

∴ F = $763\times \frac{\pi }{4}\times 250^{2}-217\times \frac{\pi }{4}\times 150^{2}$

F = 33618968.38 N --------(2)

Now comparing (1) and (2)

$33618968.38 = 8252963901\times 50\times \omega ^{2}$

∴ ω = 4036.61

We know

$\omega = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$

$4036.61 = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$

∴ N = 38546.82 rpm

Answer:

Following are the proving to this question:

Explanation:

$\frac{D_1}{D} = \frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))^{\frac{1}{4}}}$

using the energy equation for entry and exit value :

$\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0 = \frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g}$

where

$\to p_0=p_1=0\\\\\to Z_0=Z_1=H\\\\\to v_0=0\\\\AV =A_1V_1 \\\\\to V=(\frac{D_1}{D})^2 V_1\\\\\to V^2=(\frac{D_1}{D})^4 V^{2}_{1}$

$= (\frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D} ))^{\frac{1}{4}}})^4\ V^{2}_{1}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D}) )} \ V^{2}_{1}\\$

$\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0 =\frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g} \\\\$

$\to 0+0+Z_0 = 0 +\frac{V^{2}_{1} }{2g} +Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D} \frac{\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))}\ V^{2}_{1}}{2g} \\\\\to Z_0 -Z_1 = +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} \ (1+f\frac{l}{D}\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}) )} ) \\\\\to H= \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} (\frac{3}{2}) \\\\\to \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} = H(\frac{3}{2})$
