The rapid increase of non-linear loads in the last three decades has caused electrical quantities such as voltages and currents in 3-phase distribution systems to become distorted waveforms. This paper reviews, explains and discusses some new concepts, definitions and new available theory in the unbalanced and distorted systems. The usefulness of the proposed practical definitions is investigat...

Introduction: It is important that biological and health effects from the induction of currents and fields in the body by extremely low frequency (ELF) fields are fully explored to determine the effects produced at the molecular, cellular and organ levels. The objective of this study was to evaluate the intensity of ELF electromagnetic fields and its probable relationship with hematological cha...

Powderous crystalline materials of the composition Fe3−xMnxC have been prepared by first synthesizing Fe3C via mechanical alloying in a planetary mill followed by the addition of elemental manganese and arc-plasma melting or via the classic ceramic route in an electric furnace. The milling time for the synthesis of Fe3C was significantly reduced through adjusting the parameters of the planetary...

The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...

Temperature controllers must set the temperature very accurately in order to meet the needs of technological processes. So when we design a controller for an electric furnace, precision is extremely important. To provide an exact model of the furnace for this purpose, we identify the system. Using the identified models, the controller parameters can be determined. The objective of our research ...
