What are some of the factors that influence the selection of a specific casting process as a means of making a product?

Factors that influence the selection of a specific casting process to make a product.
Explanation of Solution
There are a number of the metal casting processes are available in the market. Each process has its characteristics, advantages, and benefits. The selection of the best process as a means of making products is too difficult and requires a good understanding of products and in the process. some factors must be considered while selecting a casting process, which is given below −
- Dimensional tolerance
- Surface finish
- Number of casting
- Types of pattern and core box
- Economics of the casting process
- Types of metal
- Size of the product
- Strength of the product
If the requirement of products is too large, then we can choose permanent mold casting. Further, we have different types of casting availability, which can be selected through our requirements and understanding.

- The average heat transfer coefficent for airflow over an odd shaped body is to be determined by mass transfer measurements and using the Chilton-Colburn analogy btwn heat and mass transfer. The experiemnt is conducted by blowing dry air at 1 atm at a free-stream velocity of 2 m/s over a body covered with a layer of naphthalene. The surface area of the body is .75 m^2, and it is observed that 100 g of maphthalene has sublimated in 45 min. During the experiemnt, both the body and the air were kep at 25oC, at which the vapor pressure and mass diffusivity of naphthalene are 11 Pa and Dab=0.61*10^-5 m^2/s respectively. Determine the heat transfer coefficent under the same flow conditions over the same geometry.arrow_forwardAuto Controls Design a PID controller for thefollowing system so that the modified system satisfies the followingspecifications : 1. settling time ,ts = 1.96 s and % Overshoot Mp = 70.7 % Assume a non-dominant pole at s = -15 to solve the problem The plot the compensated andThen plot the uncompensated system in MATLAB. what can you see from the plot ? what is your observation ?arrow_forwardAuto Controls The figure is a schematic diagram of an aircraft elevator control system.
