In this work, we introduce a furnace-balancing scheme that generates an optimal furnace-side feed distribution that has the potential to improve the thermal efficiency of a reformer. The furnace-balancing scheme is composed of four major components: data generation, model identification, a model-based furnace-balancing optimizer and a termination checker. Initially, a computational fluid dynami...

Abstract This paper discusses the process, prospects, and challenges of making bikini glass in Bida (Nupeland), central Nigeria. The Masagá glassmakers provide ideal case study for investigating production . Nineteenth-century Arab European writings have described glassmaking Nupeland; however, with exception carried out by Peter Robertshaw his colleagues 2009, there is no work that identifies ...

the improvement of the physical properties of indium tin oxide (ito) layers is quite advantageous in photovoltaic applications. in this study the ito film is deposited by rf sputtering onto p-type crystalline silicon (c-si) with (100) orientation, multicrystalline silicon (mc-si), and glass substrates coated with zno and annealed in vacuum furnace at 400°c. electrical, optical, structural and m...

This paper describes an application of a CBR System in a factory, which manufactures Fused Cast (Electro Cast) Refractory blocks used as Lining for Glass Melting Furnace Tanks. The attributes, which are associated with the manufacturing process, are captured in the shop floor. The CBR system enables the users and the experts to correlate the dependence of the success and failure of these blocks...

A non-linear model has been developed for a gas-fired furnace in which oil is heated. The model is applicable from minimum to maximum heat load of the furnace. The dynamics of the model have been compared to experimental results, which were obtained for a pilot-scale furnace. They are in good agreement. A cascade control with feed-forward action has been compared to single feed-back control. Pr...

The effect of the crystallization and activated annealing of Si films using an excimer laser and the new CW blue laser are described and compared with furnace annealing for application in advanced TFTs and for future applications. Pulsed excimer laser annealing (ELA) is currently being used extensively as a low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) process on glass substrates as its efficiency is hig...

So carried away was I in my last book review by a cadre of his book on its that I and his beat in the Aegean with his materials Handbook, a concise and desktop reference also although not so captivating as the earlier book, no doubt because it lends itself is readily to a sitting duck missions, that he has handled issues for an error but completion. Balls of it consists of separate chapters on ...

The overall efficiency of a regenerative chamber for a glass furnace mainly relies on the thermo-fluid dynamics of air and waste gas alternatively flowing through stacks of refractory bricks (checkers) determining the heat recovery. A numerical approach could effectively support the design strategies in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the current technology and hopefully suggest new ...

Combining the transformation project of certain strip steel rolling production line, the techniques process of walking beam heating furnace was elaborated in this paper. The practical application of LOS-T18-2ZC1 laser detector was elaborated. The network communication model of walking beam heating furnace control system was designed. The realization method of production process automation contr...
