How is Styrofoam used to cast an engine block?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Identify how Styrofoam is used to cast an engine block.
Explanation of Solution
The engine block is the supporting structure of the engine. It is made of either gray cast iron or cast aluminum or die-cast aluminum alloy. During the manufacturing process, the liquid cast iron is poured into molds made from either sand or Styrofoam.
Aluminum blocks are used due to their non-magnetic and lightweight properties. In such blocks, Styrofoam is used as a core when casting the aluminum block. The Styrofoam vaporizes as soon as it comes in contact with the molten metal and leaves behind a cavity where the molten metal flows.

Q2/ A simple jet carburetor has to supply 5 Kg of air per minute. The air is at a pressure of 1.013 bar
and a temperature of 27 °C. Calculate the throat diameter of the choke for air flow velocity of 90 m/sec.
Take velocity coefficient to be 0.8. Assume isentropic flow and the flow to be compressible.
Quiz/ Determine the air-fuel ratio supplied at 5000 m altitude by a carburetor which is adjusted to give
an air-fuel ratio of 14:1 at sea level where air temperature is 27 °C and pressure is 1.013 bar. The
temperature of air decreases with altitude as given by the expression
The air pressure decreases with altitude as per relation h = 19200 log10 (1.013), where P is in bar. State
