Monitoring and Prediction of the Liquid SteeL teMPerature in the LadLe and tundiSh

This article is focused on the description of the main features of an online system for the real time monitoring and prediction of the liquid steel temperature in the ladle and tundish. Monitoring and prediction are based on a combination of analytical and statistical methods. Thus e.g., the temperature profiles of the walls are calculated using multi-layer implicit difference scheme taking int...

MASS – Modified Assignment Algorithm in Facilities Layout Planning

In this paper we have proposed a semi-heuristic optimization algorithm for designing optimal plant layouts in process-focused manufacturing/service facilities. Our proposed algorithm marries the well-known CRAFT (Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique) with the Hungarian assignment algorithm. Being a semi-heuristic search, MASS can be potentially more efficient in terms of CPU...

Dynamical Analysis of Ladle Crane

Steel industry uses ladle crane as a vital material handling equipment. Design and procurement of the ladle crane is not up to the mark. Type of load, height to hoist, angle of tilt, space etc ascertains the crane specification. Mathematical analysis, taking all these factors has become an important research area. Earlier researches on ladle crane dynamics are not with so details analysis and p...
