Chapter 34, Problem 1RQ
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.

I need the real handdrawing complete it by adding these : Pneumatic Valves Each linear actuator must be controlled by a directional control valve (DCV) (e.g., 5/2 or 4/2 valve). The bi-directional motor requires a reversible valve to change rotation direction. Pressure Regulators & Air Supply Include two pressure regulators as per the assignment requirement. Show the main compressed air supply line connecting all components. Limit Switches & Safety Features Attach limit switches to each actuator to detect positions. Implement a two-handed push-button safety system to control actuator movement. Connections Between Components Draw air supply lines linking the compressor, valves, and actuators. Clearly label all inputs and outputs for better understanding.arrow_forwardI need the real handdrawing complete it by adding these : Pneumatic Valves Each linear actuator must be controlled by a directional control valve (DCV) (e.g., 5/2 or 4/2 valve).
