In melt spinning of a monofilament, a polymer is extruded at a volumetric flow rate of $5\times10^{-5}\ \text{m}^3\!/\text{s}$ through a circular spinneret. The take-up velocity is $100\ \text{m/s}$ with a draw ratio of $50$. The diameter (mm) of the spinneret orifice (rounded off to 2 decimal places) is ______________________________.

A 36 Ne ring spun yarn is produced from 1.2 Ne roving. The total draft and the break draft of the roving frame are 12 and 1.2, respectively. The diameters of back bottom roller, middle bottom roller and front bottom roller of the roving frame are 28 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm, respectively. If the middle bottom roller of the roving frame is eccentric, then the wavelength (m) of the periodic fault in the yarn, neglecting twist contraction, (rounded off to 2 decimal places) is \underline{\hspace{2cm}.}

A square jammed plain cotton woven fabric is produced from 10 Ne yarn of circular cross-section. Assuming yarn density \(=0.91~\text{g/cm}^3\), find the number of threads per inch (rounded to the nearest integer).

In a roving frame, the ratio of the diameter of the top (driver) cone-drum to the diameter of the bottom (driven) cone-drum is inversely proportional to bobbin diameter. At an instant,
Top cone-drum diameter = 212 mm
Bottom cone-drum diameter = 108 mm
Bobbin diameter = 54 mm
When the bobbin diameter becomes 100 mm, the ratio of the top cone-drum diameter to the bottom cone-drum diameter (up to 2 decimal places) is ____________________________________.

In a ring frame, the speeds of traveller at 50 mm bobbin diameter (near the base of the cop) and at 25 mm bobbin diameter (near the tip of the cop) are 13500 rpm and 13400 rpm, respectively. The nominal twist (tpm) (rounded off to 2 decimal places) is ____________________________________.

A circular knitting machine of 26 inch diameter and 20 gauge with 120 feeders is running at 30 rpm to produce a plain knitted fabric using 30 tex yarn. If the loop length is 3 mm, find the rate of production (kg/h), rounded off to 1 decimal place.
