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.

- Question 1. Draw 3 teeth for the following pinion and gear respectively. The teeth should be drawn near the pressure line so that the teeth from the pinion should mesh those of the gear. Drawing scale (1:1). Either a precise hand drawing or CAD drawing is acceptable. Draw all the trajectories of the involute lines and the circles. Specification: 18tooth pinion and 30tooth gear. Diameter pitch=P=6 teeth /inch. Pressure angle:20°, 1/P for addendum (a) and 1.25/P for dedendum (b). For fillet, c=b-a.arrow_forward5. The figure shows a gear train. There is no friction at the bearings except for the gear tooth forces. The material of the milled gears is steel having a Brinell hardness of 170. The input shaft speed (n2) is 800 rpm. The face width and the contact angle for all gears are 1 in and 20° respectively. In this gear set, the endurance limit (Se) is 15 kpsi and nd (design factor) is 2. (a) Find the revolution speed of gear 5. (b) Determine whether each gear satisfies the design factor of 2.0 for bending fatigue. (c) Determine whether each gear satisfies the design factor of 2.0 for surface fatigue (contact stress). (d) According to the computation results of the questions (b) and (c), explain the possible failure mechanisms for each gear.

The rotating steel shaft is simply supported by bearings at points of B and C, and is driven by a spur gear at D, which has a 6-in pitch diameter. The force F from the drive gear acts at a pressure angle of 20°. The shaft transmits a torque to point A of TA =3000 lbĘ in. The shaft is machined from steel with Sy=60kpsi and Sut=80 kpsi. (1) Draw a shear force diagram and a bending moment diagram by F. According to your analysis, where is the point of interest to evaluate the safety factor among A, B, C, and D? Describe the reason. (Hint: To find F, the torque Tд is generated by the tangential force of F (i.e. Ftangential-Fcos20°) When n=2.5, K=1.8, and K₁ =1.3, determine the diameter of the shaft based on (2) static analysis using DE theory (note that fatigue stress concentration factors need to be used for this question because the loading condition is fatigue) and (3) a fatigue analysis using modified Goodman.
