List the types of metal that a plasma torch can be used to cut.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The metals that are used to cut with plasma torch.

Explanation of Solution

Plasma is used as plasma welding as well as plasma cutting process. Plasma cutting is used to cut the metal without too much heat that will give distortion free cutting. This process can be used to cut thin metal sheet without any distortion or deflection. Plasma cutting machine is easy and portable to use as compare to oxyacetylene. This process is also very cheap process to cut the metal. Plasma machine can cut any type of metals such as:

  1. Stainless steel.
  2. Aluminum.
  3. Mild steel (4 mm to 150 mm thick).
  4. Stainless steel.
  5. Cast iron.

4. An impeller rotating at 1150 rpm has the following data: b, = 1 ¼ in., b2 = ¾ in., d, = 7 in., d2 = 15 in., B1 = 18", B2 = 20°, cross-sectional area A = Db if vane thickness is neglected. Assuming radial inlet flow, determine the theoretical capacity in gpm head in ft horsepower 5. If the impeller in Problem (4) develops an actual head of 82 ft and delivers 850 gpm at the point of maximum efficiency and requires 22 BHP.

(30 pts) Problem 1 A thin uniform rod of mass m and length 2r rests in a smooth hemispherical bowl of radius r. A moment M mgr 4 is applied to the rod. Assume that the bowl is fixed and its rim is in the horizontal plane. HINT: It will help you to find the length l of that portion of the rod that remains outside the bowl. M 2r a) How many degrees of freedom does this system have? b) Write an equation for the virtual work in terms of the angle 0 and the motion of the center of mass (TF) c) Derive an equation for the variation in the position of the center of mass (i.e., Sŕƒ) a. HINT: Use the center of the bowl as the coordinate system origin for the problem. d) In the case of no applied moment (i.e., M 0), derive an equation that can be used to solve for the equilibrium angle of the rod. DO NOT solve the equation e) In the case of an applied moment (i.e., M = mgr = -) derive an equation that can be used to 4 solve for the equilibrium angle of the rod. DO NOT solve the equation. f) Can…
