Concept:
\(P = 2Tw = 2T × \frac{{2\pi N}}{{60}}\)
T = F × R
where P = Power, F = Rolling Force, R = roll radius, W = angular velocity and N = RPM
Calculation:
Given:
In this question, the velocity of exit is given. From the velocity of exit, we may assume the velocity of the neutral plane. But the correct answer will be slightly different.
\(Projected;Length,;{L_p} = Rsin;\alpha = \sqrt {R{\rm{\Delta }}h} = \sqrt {150 × \left( {8 - 7.2} \right)} = 10.954mm\)
Projected area, Ap = Lp × b = 10.954 × 120 = 1314.48 mm2
Roll separating force, F = σ0 × Lp × b = 200 × 1314.48 = 262.9 kN
Arm length = 0.5 Lp for hot rolling = 0.5 × 10.954 mm = 5.477 mm
\(Torque;per;roller;T = F × \frac{a}{{1000}} = 262.9 × 5.477;mm = 1439.9;Nm;\)
Total power for two rollers,
\(P = 2Tw = 2T × \frac{{2\pi N}}{{60}}\)
Now, for finding N, applying the continuity equation
HoboVo = hfbfVf
8 × 120 × VO = 7.2 × 120 × 30
VO = 27 m/min
Assuming the velocity of the neutral plane
\(average;velocity,;V = \frac{{{V_o} + {V_f}}}{2} = \frac{{27 + 30}}{2} = 28.5\frac{m}{{min}}\)
V = πDN
28.5 = π × 0.300 × N
⇒ N = 30.24 rpm
\(Total;power;for;two;rollers = 2T × \frac{{2\pi N}}{{60}}\)
\( = 2 × 1439.9 × 2\pi × \frac{{30.24}}{{60}} = 9.12kW\)
