An EMTP-based arc furnace model was developed for evaluation of flicker concerns associated with supplying a large integrated steel mill as they go from one to two furnace operation and as system changes are implemented that will affect the short circuit capacity at the 230 kV power supply substation. The model includes a dynamic arc representation which is designed to be characteristic of the ...

The influence of two different fluoride-based activator salts (NH4F and AlF3) was studied for diffusion aluminide coatings obtained via pack cementation on a Ni-based superalloy (René 108DS). resistance to oxidation hot corrosion assessed as function the concentration used during synthesis process by means cementation. Two concentrations were selected (respecting equimolarity fluoride in synthe...

the specificity of gentamicin for vitamin e deficiency-associated oxidative stresses in the renal proximal convoluted tubules is apparently related to its ability to increasingly facilitate generation of radical species in mitochondria. to determine the ways in which vitamin e manage the currently processes, we conducted a prospective study aimed to investigate the tubular preserving effect of ...

Effects of temperature and oxygen concentration on decarburization of 55SiCr spring steel were investigated at the temperature range of 500°C–1 200°C by using a Muffle furnace (an atmosphere of ambient air) and a Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer (low oxygen concentration with 2% O2 and 98% N2). In ambient air, the decarburization behavior can be divided roughly into five temperature ranges: T≥1 20...

The use of renewable wood-based fuel has been increasing in the last few decades because it is said to be carbon neutral. However, wood-based fuel, and especially used wood (also known as recycled wood or waste wood), is more corrosive than virgin wood (forest fuel), because of higher amounts of chlorine and heavy metals. These elements increase the corrosion problems at the furnace walls where...

The amount of different persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the input of waste incinerators was compared to that in the output. Three cases were considered: a rotary kiln incinerating hazardous waste, a grate furnace incinerating municipal solid waste (MSW) and the same grate furnace co-incinerating plastics of waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and automotive shredder resi...

A facile and non-distractive method for estimating thermal emissivity of solid polymers based on ATR-FT-IR method was newly developed. This method is applicable to thick and nontransparent samples without using blackbody furnace. The thermal emissivity estimated by this method is consistent with the reference values obtained using blackbody furnace. The ATR-IR method enables to estimate thermal...

The aim of the present investigation is to study the sintering behavior of the Cu12Sn bronze system in both, a microwave furnace as well as a conventional furnace. The powders prepared by premixed and prealloyed routes were sintered in the range of solid state, transient and supersolidus liquid phase sintering conditions. The comparative analysis is based on the sintered density, densification ...
