If aluminum that has a density of 197 lb/in3 and viscosity of 14.7 Ib/in-s is used in a sand-casting operation and the metal level in the pouring basing is set to 5 in above the runner level, while the runner is circular in cross section and is 0.5 in in diameter. A) What are the velocity and rate of the flow of the metal into the mold?(Show your detailed solution) B) Do you expect any formation of dross for this cast? Explain your conclusion.
