Solution:

We have to design an open cylindrical riser for a sand mold. The dimensions of the plate on which the part is to be cast are 150 mm x 150 mm x 50 mm. The total solidification time for the casting will be 5 minutes. The height-to-diameter ratio of the riser is 1. What is the diameter of the riser so that the total solidification time will be 40% longer than the casting?
