Chapter 10, Problem 49QTP
The constant C in Chvorinov’s rule is given as 2.5 s/mm2, and is used to produce a cylindrical casting with a diameter of 50 mm and height of 125 mm. Estimate the time for the casting to fully solidify. The mold can be broken safely when the solidified shell is at least 20 mm. Assuming that the cylinder cools evenly, how much time must transpire after pouring the molten metal before the mold can be broken?
