Q2) Solve (10 Points)

A sprue is 300 mm long and has a diameter of 125 mm at the top. The molten metal level
in the pouring basing (which is much larger than the top of the sprue) is taken to be 75 mm
from the top of the sprue for design purposes. If a flow rate of 650 mm3/s is to be achieved,
what should be the diameter at the bottom of the sprue? Will the sprue aspirate? Explain.
