Question: 3 . A 1 0 - inch ( times 1 0 ) - inch ( times 0 . 7 5

3. A 10-inch \(\times 10\)-inch \(\times 0.75\)-inch plate casting is produced with a steel alloy with \(\rho=0.28\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{in}^{3}\)(\(=7.75\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{cm}^{3}\)). Two third of the steel plate casting volume should be added more into the original one, and all molten metal should be poured in 10 seconds. The cylindrical, tapered sprue height is 4 inches. The sprue has a cylindrical base and is connected to two runners. Each runner with a square vertical cross-section is connected to two gates. The gate has a rectangular vertical cross-section, and its width is three times the height.
The ratio of the cylindrical sprue base's horizontal cross-sectional area to the sum of two runners' vertical cross-sectional areas to the sum of four gates' vertical cross-sectional areas is 1:2:3.
Area of a sprue base's horizontal cross-section
1
The sum of areas of two runners' vertical cross-sections
2
The sum of areas of four gates' vertical cross-sections
Note that drawings are not to actual scale or ratios.
The height of the cylindrical riser is 1.75 times its diameter, so it takes \(30\%\) longer for the riser to solidify compared to the solidification time of the steel plate casting. The dynamic viscosity of steel is \(4\times 10^{-3}\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{S}\left(=6\mathrm{cP}=6\times 10^{-3}\mathrm{~Pa}\cdot \mathrm{~S}\right)\), and the mold constant \(=16\mathrm{~min}/\mathrm{in}^{2}\). The gravitational acceleration is \(32.2\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\).
Determine the following, showing your work clearly:
(a) Based on the problem statement, sketch an isometric view of a pattern with all the components, such as sprue, sprue base, runners, gates, risers, etc., required for this casting process. Add a label for each component. Note that the sketch does not need to have actual scale or ratios.
(b) The horizontal cross sectional diameter of the cylindrical sprue base. (Unit: inches)
(c) The dimensions of the vertical cross-section of each runner. (Unit: inches)
(d) The dimensions of the vertical cross-section of each gate. (Unit: inches)
(e) The dimensions of the cylindrical riser. (Unit: inches)
