Studies Of Blast Furnace Phenomena By M L Gruner Tr With The Authors Sanction With An Appendix By L D B Gordon PDF Download

Excerpt from Studies of Blast Furnace Phenomena Still, the other question debated, be it borne in mind, is the economy of fuel in furnaces, whether charged into the furnace and consumed there, or supplied from without as caloric in the heated blast. Again, it is only when furnaces are working with the same, or nearly the same, charges of ore, ux, and fuel, i. Same quality of raw materials, and yielding the same quality of iron, that we can get comparative results of a reliable nature. Furnaces may be work ing in one district as well as in another, although using very different quantities of ore and fuel, and yielding very different quantities of iron, and Showing very different profit and loss accounts. Pig-iron making, like other manufactures, must be looked at both from the purely technical and the economical point of view. There is a technical maximum of useful effect and an economical maximum of useful effect. The technical useful effect would be so much the greater as the yield of pig-iron from a given weight of carbon and ores of the poorer qualities is greater.
