Answer:
See explanation for step by step procedure towards getting answer
Explanation:
Given that
h = 30 mm
h' = 25 mm
Δh= 30 - 25 = 5 mm
Initial width = b
Final width = 1.04 b
Roll radius, r = 300 mm
Inlet velocity Vi = 77 m/min
N = 45 RPM
a)
As we know that
Δh = μ² .r
μ = Coefficient of friction
r = roll radius
By putting the values
Δh = μ² .r
5 = μ² x 300
μ=0.12
b)
From continuity equation
Ai Vi= Vf
Ai = Inlet area, Vi= inlet velocity
= exit area, Vf= exit velocity
b x h x Vi= 1.04 b x h' x Vf
b x 30 x 77 = 1.04 b x 25 x Vf
Vf=88.84 m/min
c)
Forward slip S given as
V= Roller speed
We know that
V=84.82 m/min
S=0.047
