A part is designed to be hot forged in an impression die. The projected area of the part, including flash, is 16 in2 . After trimming, the part has a projected area of 10 in2 . Part geometry is complex. As heated the work material yields at 10,000 lb/in2 , and has no tendency to strain harden. At room temperature, the material yields at 25,000 lb/in2 Determine the maximum force required to perform the forging operation

An extruder has a barrel diameter of 2.5 in and a length of 6.0 ft. The screw has a channel depth of 0.25 in, a flight angle of 20°, and rotates at 55 rev/min. The material being extruded is polypropylene. At the present settings, the volumetric flow rate of the polymer melt is 1.50 in3 /sec and the head pressure is 500 lb/in2 . (a) Under these operating characteristics, what is the viscosity of the polypropylene? (b) Using Figure 13.2, approximate the temperature in °F of the polypropylene

A 300-mm-long wrench is used to tighten a Metric 20x2.5 bolt. The proof strength of the bolt for the particular alloy is 380 MPa. The torque coefficient is 0.21. Determine the maximum force that can be applied to the end of the wrench so that the bolt does not permanently deform.

Distinguish between proportional, progressive and regressive taxation. Could a progressive tax have a constant marginal rate?

A connecting rod is designed to be hot forged in an impression die. The projected area of the part is 6,500 mm2 . The design of the die will cause flash to form during forging, so that the area, including flash, will be 9,000 mm2 . The part geometry is considered to be complex. As heated the work material yields at 75 MPa, and has no tendency to strain harden. Determine the maximum force required to perform the operation.
