Caine's Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Freezing Ratio = (Surface Area Of Casting*Volume Riser)/(Surface Area Riser*Volume of Casting)
X = (SA_Casting*VR)/(SA_Riser*VC)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Freezing Ratio - Freezing Ratio of the mould is defined as the ratio of cooling characteristics of casting to the riser.
Surface Area Of Casting - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area Of Casting is the surface area of liquid metal undergoing casting.
Volume Riser - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume Riser is the volume of liquid metal fed into the riser during the process of casting.
Surface Area Riser - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area Riser is the surface area of the liquid fed into the riser during the process of metal casting.
Volume of Casting - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Casting is the volume of liquid metal undergoing casting.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Area Of Casting: 1.5 Square Meter --> 1.5 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Volume Riser: 0.5 Cubic Meter --> 0.5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Surface Area Riser: 0.4 Square Meter --> 0.4 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Casting: 1.25 Cubic Meter --> 1.25 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X = (SA_Casting*VR)/(SA_Riser*VC) --> (1.5*0.5)/(0.4*1.25)

Evaluating ... ...

X = 1.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.5 <-- Freezing Ratio

Bottom Gating

Go Bottom gating pouring time = Ratio of Area/sqrt(2*Acceleration)*2*(sqrt(Length of Cylinder)-sqrt(Length of Cylinder-Height of Capillary Rise/Fall))

Caine's Formula

Go Freezing Ratio = (Surface Area Of Casting*Volume Riser)/(Surface Area Riser*Volume of Casting)

Solidification Time

Go Solidification Time = Solidification Time per Unit Area*(Volume of Casting/Surface Area Of Casting)^2

Shape Factor

Go Shape Factor = (Length of Casting+Width of Casting)/Average Thickness of Section

Vertical Gating

Go Vertical Gating = Volume of Casting/(Volume*Surface Area Of Casting)

Aspiration Effect

Go Aspiration Effect = Area/Cross-Sectional Area

Caine's Formula Formula

Freezing Ratio = (Surface Area Of Casting*Volume Riser)/(Surface Area Riser*Volume of Casting)
X = (SA_Casting*VR)/(SA_Riser*VC)
