Melting Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Melting Efficiency = Heat Required/Net Heat Supplied
ß = H_req/h_Net
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Melting Efficiency - Melting efficiency is defined as the ratio of heat required to melt to the actual heat transfer.
Heat Required - (Measured in Joule) - Heat Required is the amount of energy that is required for a particular process.
Net Heat Supplied - (Measured in Joule) - Net Heat Supplied is the final and total amount of heat transfer in a particular process.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat Required: 8 Kilojoule --> 8000 Joule (Check conversion here)
Net Heat Supplied: 20 Kilojoule --> 20000 Joule (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ß = H_req/h_Net --> 8000/20000

Evaluating ... ...

ß = 0.4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.4 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.4 <-- Melting Efficiency

< 11 Heat Input in Welding Calculators

Net heat supplied to joint

Go Heat Required per Unit Volume = Heat Transfer Efficiency*Electrode Potential*Electric Current/(Melting Efficiency*Travel Speed of Electrode*Area)

Heat required to Melt Joint

Go Heat Required = Mass*((Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*Rise in Temperature)+Latent Heat of Fusion)

Total heat generated in resistance welding

Go Heat Generated = Constant to Account for Heat Losses*Input Current^2*Resistance*Time

Rated Duty Cycle given Actual Duty Cycle

Go Rated Duty Cycle = Required Duty Cycle*(Maximum current new add/Rated Current)^2

Required Duty cycle for arc welding

Go Required Duty Cycle = Rated Duty Cycle*(Rated Current/Maximum current new add)^2

Net heat per unit volume available for Arc welding

Go Heat Required per Unit Volume = Input Power/(Travel Speed of Electrode*Area)

Heat Transfer Efficiency

Go Heat Transfer Efficiency = Net Heat Supplied/Heat Generated

Power given Electric Potential Difference and Electric Current

Go Power = Electric Potential Difference*Electric Current

Power given Electric Potential Difference and Resistance

Go Power = (Electric Potential Difference^2)/Resistance

Melting Efficiency

Go Melting Efficiency = Heat Required/Net Heat Supplied

Power given Electric Current and Resistance

Go Power = Electric Current^2*Resistance

Melting Efficiency Formula

Melting Efficiency = Heat Required/Net Heat Supplied
ß = H_req/h_Net

What is Melting efficiency?

The Melting efficiency, ß, can be defined as the ratio of theoretical heat required to melt a joint to the actual heat supplied to melt it. The actual heat distributed into the surrounding metal would depend upon the welding process as well as the process parameters including the joint design.
