چکیده

the continuous improvement of eaf performance is crucial for the increase in productivity and cost effectiveness and to render an environmental friendly process. rhi supports these targets by providing a diverse range of refractory and process solutions. chemical energy in practical operation by injection of gaseous media like oxygen and natural gas, and solid materials like carbon have become a state of the art solutions for process improvement today. to understand the phenomena of the benefits, rhi has developed a mass and energy balance model. the objective of the model is to focus on the replacement ratio of electrical energy by chemical energy and the consequences for the overall co2 emission of the process. co2 emission certificate trading can become a new source for cash generation to be utilized for improvement investment budgets.   another valuable solution to decrease the energy consumption and the co2 generation of the process is bottom purging in eaf. this technology can be introduced by the use of the directional porosity plug (dpp). the benefit of stirring in the furnace is that it enhances the interface reactions between the slag and the bath and homogenizes the liquid volume in the furnace. this results in achieving better operation parameters in terms of less power consumption and power-on time. again a benefit in cost and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions can obviously be attained. this paper shows the savings potential of the replacement of electrical energy by chemical energy by using the mentioned balance model. the benefit of the introduction of the dpp system is shown on the results of various steel plants.

Predicting Customer-Expectation-Based Warranty Cost for Smaller-the- Better and Larger-the-Better Performance Characteristics

The quality loss function assumes a fixed target and only accounts for immediate issues within manufacturing facilities whereas warranty loss occurs during customer use. Based on the two independent variables, product performance and consumers’ expectation, a methodology to predict the probability of customer complaint is presented in this paper. The formulation presented will serve as a basic ...

A systematic approach for a better thermal management of photovoltaic systems- A review

Solar energy is the highly recognized energy source, capable of fulfilling the world’s future energy demands. The solar photovoltaic technology involves the unmediated transformation of sunlight into electricity. A little fraction is converted into electricity and the remaining gets exhausted as unused heat. This results in an increase in the operating temperature of the PV Panel. The conversio...
