Research is made into the fuzzy control of electrode regulator systems of submerged electrical arc ferrosilicon furnace EAF. The equations of the electrode currents and furnace resistances are derived based on certain model for the submerged arc ferrosilicon furnace. This model takes into consideration the walls of furnace and the heat losses into external medium in addition to the heat transfe...

Absrract This paper presents a practical application of the conventional multi-loop control method for the temperature control of a television glass furnace. To control the temperature of the TV glass furnace, major input-output variables are selected, and simple FirstOrder-Plus-Dead-Time(F0PDT)models are established with the process experimental data. Based on the FOPDT models, a multi-loop. c...

Modern trends in iron metallurgy. Global carbon emissions from iron production. New solution for iron and steelmaking in a way reduce the CO2 emission to the level, where this might be needed in the post Kyoto period. New blast furnace technology, which operate with very low CO2 emissions based on drastically reduced consumption of carbon containing input materials. Injection of reducing gases ...

High quality rendering and physics-based modeling in volume graphics have been limited because intensity-based volumetric data do not represent surfaces well. High spatial frequencies due to abrupt intensity changes at object surfaces result in jagged or terraced surfaces in rendered images. Use of a distance-to-closestsurface function to encode object surfaces allows accurate reconstruction of...

steel slags are the by products of steel industries, which forms during reduction process of iron melting. the chemical composition of it changes depending to the melting procedure. its mineralogical composition also varies based on the cooling procedure. two different types of steel slag were used as absorbing bed for various concentrations of pb2+ ions in the form of lead chloride, and the co...

Heat treatments are applied to orthodontic wires in order to relieve the stresses arising during orthodontic work. Four types of wires were heated in air, argon or vacuum environments, and cooled in the furnace or in a water bath. The susceptibility to corrosion and mechanical properties of the heat-treated wires were investigated. Heat treatment marginally increased the yield strength and elas...

OBJECTIVES To examine the association between cancer incidence, in particular incidence of lung cancer, and duration of work among employees in eight Norwegian plants producing ferrosilicon and silicon metal. METHODS Among men first employed during 1933-91 and with at least 6 months in these plants, the incident cases of cancer during 1953-91 were obtained from The Cancer Registry of Norway. ...

Since its invention until the 1950s, the iron blast furnace was viewed as a strange ‘black box’. Its operation was largely empirical and much of the information needed for monitoring and control of the process was yet to be known. More complete information was needed concerning the process such as the reduction of iron-bearing raw materials, the distribution of materials throughout the stack, t...

In developing country like India due to the remarkable development in road infrastructure, Soil stabilization has become the major issue in construction activity. Stabilization is an unavoidable for the purpose of highway and runway construction, stabilization denotes improvement in both strength and durability which are related to performance. Stabilization is a method of processing available ...
