Find velocity of molten metal at the base of sprue


A downsprue of a certain mold has a length of 175 mm and a cross-sectional area at the base of 400 mm2. The runner has the same area and is of circular cross section. The mold cavity has a volume of 0.001 m3. Density is 2700 kg/m3 and viscosity is .0015 Pa s. Determine: the velocity of the molten metal at the base of the sprue, the volume flow rate, the time required to fill the mold, the Reynolds number in the runner, and whether or not the flow in the runner is turbulent.
