Pure aluminium is poured into a sand mold. The metal level in the pouring basin is 203.2 mm above the metal level in the mold, and the runner is circular with a 7.62 mm diameter. What is the velocity and the rate of flow of the metal into the mold? Is the flow turbulent or laminar? Note that pure aluminum has a density of 2700 kg/m3 and a viscosity of 0.004 Ns/m
