The mass flow rate of abrasive entering the chamber is independent of the amplitude of vibration of the sieve (in the mixing chamber).

The mass flow rate of abrasive entering the chamber is independent of the amplitude of vibration of the sieve (in the mixing chamber). Correct Answer False

The abrasive particles enter the chamber from a hopper through a metallic sieve. The sieve is constantly vibrated by an electromagnetic shaker. The mass flow rate of abrasive (15 gm/min) entering the chamber depends on the amplitude of vibration of the sieve and its frequency. The abrasive particles are then carried by the carrier gas to the machining chamber via an electro-magnetic on-off valve.

Statement: Resonance is a special case of forced vibration in which the nature and frequency of vibration of the body are the same as the impressed frequency and the amplitude of forced vibration, is maximum. Reason: The amplitude of forced vibrations of a body increases with an increase in the frequency of the externally impressed periodic force.
