The main difference you can see is the difference in wall thickness and the addition of ribs.
In figure (a) the wall thickness is not uniform, it has changed from 25mm to 38mm while in figure (b) the wall thickness is uniform that is 25mm.
In casting it is always important to have a uniform wall thickness so that the rate of cooling is uniform throughout to minimise the variations of dimension as well as for the easier metal flow for the part manufactured.
In figure (b), with the addition of ribs, the wall thickness is made uniform without reducing the strength of the part and also it makes the part lighter and uses less valuable material.
Figure (b) has the advantages mentioned above compared to figure (a).

1. Casting Process Selection (25 marks). The component, shown in Figure 1 is a manifold jacket used in a space vehicle. It is to be made of nickel. It is large — weighing about 7 kg — and has a 3D-hollow shape. The section thickness is 2–5 mm. The requirement on precision is strict (precision = 0.1 mm). Because of its limited application, only 10 units are to be made. Table 1 lists the requirements. Please identify the best manufacturing...
QUESTION 6 This question is about moments of inertia. If the hollow plate shown in Fig. Q6 has a density of 8000 kg/m3 and a thickness of 10 mm, determine its moment of inertia about an axis directed perpendicular to the page and passing through point O. 125 mm a) 1.197 kg.m2 b) 11.97 kg.m2 c) 1.473 kg.m2 d) 0.276 kg.m2 e) None of above 250 mm Figure Q6
4. A circular conducting loop of radius r carrying current I as shown in Fig. 4 is placed above the North pole of a cylindrical bar magnet. Everywhere on the loop, the magnetic field of the magnet has the same magnitude B and makes angle a with the vertical axis in a diverging fashion (as sketched). What is the total resultant force F produced on the loop by the magnet? Is it zero or not and why? If it is...

The section of the sealed joint shown in Fig. Q.1 is loaded by P 6.0 kip. The members have E-16 Mpsi. All bolts have been carefully preloaded to Fi 25 kip each. a. If hardened-steel washers (American Standard, Narrow) are to be used under the head and nut, what length of bolts should be used (round up to the nearest 0.1 in)? (8 pts) b. Find kb, Km (using 30° cone)...

(a) The diagram shown below (Figure 3) represents a statically determinate beam ABCDE carrying a 1 kN point load which moves along the length of the beam. The support at A is fixed, B is an internal hinge and D is a roller support. Develop the following influence lines for this beam showing the values at all points A, B, C, D and E. All dimensions are in mm. Influence line for...

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
Design the cooling system used to manufacture the leg of a table, shown in Fig.2. You will have to determine the required diameter D so that the leg can withstand 100 kg of axial loading. Once the diameter has been determined, you will need to determine the Revolutions per Minute (RPMs) of the fan needed to cool down the leg to 90-C in less than 2 minutes before it starts deforming after being 3D printed. Consider the leg of the...
elcise .1S.3 pp69i-698. Figure 8.85 shows an old cylindrical bore- hole that has been filled in part with silt and in part with water. Before the hole can be redrilled the water has to be pumped to the surface. We wish to estimate the work (en- ergy) required for this purpose water? Ground level 50 mAy Silt Figure 8.83 (a) As a first approximation, assume that the silting has been uniform - as indicated in Figure 8.85 and that the...
Consider the pneumatic cylinder as shown in Figure 1 which is an illustration from the Starcyl space-saver range, as can be found in their Star2.pdf catalogue, www.starcyl.com. Some pneumatic cylinders can have a push/pull rod (item I in Figure 1) protruding from either head (item A in Figure 1), but this cylinder clearly has only one, making it a “single rod end” type of cylinder. This cylinder is however “double acting”, which means it can be pressurised on either side...
