Industrial and experimental induction furnaces are used for melting various types of iron ingots, returned scraps and DRI sponge pellets to produce high purity cast - iron and steel heats. The lowest consumption of electrical energy determined for continuous feeding operation is 0.3 KWH/Kg for the production of cast - iron in a 1.5 - ton industrial furnace and 0.45 KWH/Kg for the production of ...

Steady state and dynamic fermentations of baker's yeast in molasses based media were analyzed in a laboratory scale bioreactor. Sugar and biomass balances together with the Monod biokinetics were used to develop the process model. Parameters of the model were obtained using collected experimental data. Model predicted open loop responses to step changes in feed concentration as well as dilu...
