Estimate the energy required to melt a half ton of Brass in a single phase induction furnace. If the melt is to be carried out in 1/2 hour, what will be the average input to the furnace? Assume- Specific heat of brass is 0.095 Kcal/Kg, Latent heat of fusion of brass is 30 Kcal/Kg. Melting point is 920°C and furnace efficiency is 60%. The temperature of the cold charge may be taken as 20°C.

7. What is the value of latent heat at the critical point?
An iron grade has a melting point of 2200°F. Its specific heat = 0.11 Btu/lbm°F, and its heat of fusion = 56.2 Btu/lbm. A 150-lbm block of this cast iron is to be melted. Determine how much heat is required to raise its temperature from 70°F to its melting point and transform it from the solid to liquid phase. Do not use a comma in your answer. Recall: Required heat H = mC(Tm – Ta) + mHf

During zone melting process, the molten zone of a Cu-Ni alloy bar has the initial composition marked by point "B" in the phase diagram. Referring to the righthand side drawing, the power of the heater (induction coil) was on when it travels from left end to right end so that zone melting happened. The power was off when the heater translated fully back to the left side to keep the entire bar in solid state. The heater passed the bar from left to right four times, what is the wt.% of Ni at the left end of the bar.

In welding of metals, molten metal is deposited between the two objects that are to be welded together. Most of the heat from the molten material is conducted into the area around the weld, significantly increasing the temperature in the area, which can affect the local material properties. This area is often called the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). Assuming you have base metal that is hypereutectoid steel, with a Cementite+Fine Pearlite microstructure, estimate what the microstructure would be in Area 1 and Area 2 of the HAZ. What is the primary factor (other than temperature and composition) that would affect what type of microstructure would be created?
